Berlin native Foreign Guest returns to Radikon with ‘PS900’. For catalogue number 009, Foreign Guest delivers a spectacular vision of crackling electricity and evolving soundscapes that explore the creative fringes of dance music. Mathias Schober lends his seasoned touched to the release with a reduced percussive reimagination of ‘PS900’.

The opening track ‘After Death’ is a quintessential demonstration of Foreign Guest’s singular auditory vision. Resonant sweeps and bends conjure the image of a robot orchestra, weaving in and out in a sizzling dance of circuitry. Set to a hovering atmosphere and warm bassline, Red Pig Flower’s otherworldly pitching vocals complete a beautiful ballad of the machines.

Where ‘After Death’ is warm and introspective, ‘PS900’ is forceful, frantic and unrelenting. Sharp, crackling drums filled with white noise and artful resonance combined with a beautifully pitching synth give the track a primal feeling. ‘PS900’ disintegrates into cascading salves of martial battle drums, before the array of machines returns full force in a whirlwind of high-voltage ferocity.

Mathias Schober’s rendition of ‘PS900’ is an artfully stripped down affair, all the while retaining martial undertones. Resonant stabs and sweeps set to a understated, yet brutally efficient groove create a singular auditory marriage, hovering and commanding alike.

It is difficult to name an artist more uncompromisingly committed to his musical vision than Foreign Guest. ‘PS900’ is no exception: A powerfully electric orchestra of machines set in a singular auditory landscape and a true milestone in the career of a fascinating artist.
