"Techno is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) which is generally produced for use in a continuous DJ set, with tempo often varying between 120 and 150 beats per minute (bpm). The central rhythm is typically in common time (4/4) and often characterized by a repetitive four on the floor beat." Well, that's what Wikipedia says about "techno" -- but can Laura BCR's music simply be called "techno"? The French DJ and On Board Music label founder who took her name from the much-loved and now closed, Berlin record store, Bass Cadet Records, started to produce her very own music in 2020. Music which could easily fit in her transportive, deep techno and dubby ambient DJ sets. Sets that have brought her to some of Europe's finest venues. After her releases on SoHaSo, Semantica, Paloma, RDV Music, Technologia Organica, or Sublunar we're happy to present to you her latest work for Live At Robert Johnson: Human Behavior. The four tracks all share a deepness which is typical for a lot of her productions so far. This is repetitive music, yes -- but also very atmospheric music. Whether it's the helicopter sound in first track "Farewell" which Laura put on top of layers of whirring synths sounds or the swelling and decaying sounds of "Long Wait". Sounds which swallow you deep into their core and make you forget about the here and now. Yes, Laura's music is hypnotizing -- and it has a certain psychedelic quality attached to it as well. This aspect of her music can be heard quite good in "Post Dynamic" with its electronic blowing wind sounds galore. Or in "Human Behavior", the title track of Laura BCR's LARJ debut. Yet Laura never forgets the importance (and the power) of the bass drum and its four on the floor beat. A beat that is the heartbeat of techno. And a beat that defines Laura BCR as well. Now all hail the bass drum and all hail Laura BCR! Launea features on "Human Behavior".
