It's a collaboration between German techno guys Joerg Burger (aka the
Modernist, Bionaut, J Burger, etc) and Mike Ink, the man in charge of
Profan and several other interesting techno labels. Damn, I can't remember
any of his aliases offhand!
I think it's more recent Ink than Burger, if you know either of their
sounds. I haven't heard it in a while, but my memory of it was a lot of
big washy synth sounds over metronome-style pulsing kicks, and quite a raw
production style - things distort at the edges, without it ever getting
aggro. Probably of interest to Basic Channel styled techno fans, but quite
distinct from any of their releases.
Anyway, if you enjoy that kind of thing, I would recommend it
unreservedly. I really like it, and haven't spoken to anyone who found it
a disappointment.
