Altær: // SNTS // NUR JABER // AUSPEX

April 1, 2022

Anonymous producer SNTS has become one of the leading lights in industrial techno. Now he’s returning to BASEMENT for the first time since 2019, headlining an all-star edition of Altaer. The Sacred Courts & SNTS Records head has worked with an impressive roster of names: Regis, Paula Temple, OAKE, and Tommy Four Seven have all contributed definitive works or remixes to their unmissable labels. As a DJ, SNTS simply cannot be stopped. A recent all vinyl set shows the masked artist in ferocious form, masterfully amping up the intensity again and again. Beirut-born, Berlin-based producer Nur Jaber splits her time between often-ethereal studio constructions and absolutely psycho DJ sets. Exclusively releasing on her own label OSF, Jaber is in total creative control. And it shows: whether she’s whispering for breathy vocalizations over lush synthesizer arpeggiations or ripping into some gleefully claustrophobic bangers, Jabber’s music always feels spontaneous and free. Auspex approaches techno as a ritual of power, domination and spiritual catharsis. A veteran of Unter and a tireless organizer, Auspex’s reputation for sheer impact is uncontested.
