Pig Dan Gregor Tresher Challenger Truesoul TRUE12137

A pair of techno stalwarts unite for their debut collaboration. An auspicious release for label and artists alike, Pig Dan and Gregor Tresher have both been delivering quality techno productions for almost two decades. Tresher is a prolific and deeply respected member of the German techno scene responsible for iconic tracks such as a A Thousand Nights and Goliath. His debut on Truesoul was certainly fated. Pig Dan need no introduction, as one of the labels most consistent and valued contributors, coming off a lush twotracker Telegraphy released in January. The artists connection goes back almost as far as their discographies. Birthed during lockdown, Challenger is their inaugural production link up. The title track is a progressivetinged bubbler that builds to a celestial crescendo. Granular is an immersive trip, as a dronelike wall of sound meshes with glistening synths, conjuring up an evocative atmosphere akin to a futuristic film soundtrack.
