I read a great interview with Modell somewhere where he opined on the
cumulative physiological effects of repeatedly listening to aggressive
techno on Berghain-y sized PAs. I think this was when his Captagon record
came out-- which (to my ears) totally sounds like a stab at a set that
makes sense at a Tresor party but doesn't trigger a fight-or-flight response
.

That was what I was thinking, too! ASC is the closest, but the prolificness
is the common element.
Some of ASC's earlier beatless records (Truth Be Told, Time Heals All, No
Stars etc) has a Modellian dream-static quality, not super far from
Modell's "Autonomous Music" cd or the more recent "Dusk, Darkness, (3rd
word that starts with D)".
Yet I think of Clements primarily as a dude who covers a wiiide territory
in his catalog-- while Modell is laser-focused on a pretty narrow lane
(which he somehow manages to take deeper and deeper as time goes on,
despite the superficial similarities between his records.) The dnb ASC I've
heard (eg Reflections) isn't fuzzy/hazy/gentle at all.
I checked out those other names.. very loud + shiny, except maybe the
Silent Dust and Resound? But in those cases, I wouldn't have thought of
them as dnb producers based on what popped up on a bandcamp search.
ChatGPT's answer is more interesting than I would have guessed, though. I
never expected scientists in my lifetime would produce such a realistic
simulation of asking a person who has never listened to music but has no
qualms about quickly looking up everything other people have said and
bluffing with their first guess at a "median opinion".
