Background/Info: Belgian DJ/producer/musician
Glenn Keteleer is an artist of many talents. We know him in the underground
scene for his involvement with The Juggernauts and his solo-project Radical G.
Linear Straight is another of his projects, which is more techno driven. The
album “Roscosmos” was released at the end of 2018 by the Berlin based
Konsequent label.
Content: Linear Straight has
gained a serious reputation in the techno scene, but sounds much more than
simply techno-music. “Roscosmos” is a fusion between different influences,
which are all mixed with techno elements. From complex IDM passages to
electro-industrial sound treatments to bombastic arrangements to EBM bass lines
to dark groovy sequences, “Roscosmos” covers a wide spectrum of sonic ideas.
+ + + : If Linear Straight is
considered to be a techno-artist, he clearly deals with a very personal- and
atypical style. I like the diversity of his sound canvas and I have a
preference for the IDM touch running through the title track. But I also fully
enjoyed the bombastic techno of “Ancient Flute” and the darker approach of the
already familiar “Rational Velocity” and “The Year Of The dragon”. Some
EBM-driven bass lines are pretty cool as well.
– – – : I sometimes get the
impression Glenn Keteleer doesn’t experiment with more EBM elements –and that’s
a pity, but on the other side that’s precisely what he’s doing as Radical G.
Conclusion: Linear Straight sounds as
techno music for ghosts; dark with some drama and danceable!
Best songs: “Vegen”, “The Year Of The
Dragon”, “Roscosmos”, “Rational Velocity”, “Ancient Flute”.
