バイオグラフィ

  • OAKE is a German experimental techno project that ventures into the sonic realms of fear and uncertainty. First discovered by Karl “Regis” O’Connor on his Downwards imprint.
    OAKE has become established as one of the most unique products of the genre, pushing an unforgiving style that’s demanding of listeners, devoid of stock value or predictable moralizing, and which seeks to find and create romance in a greyscale world of brutalist architecture and all-pervasive automation. Now a solo project of Eric Oake, OAKE releases on genre-defining labels like Downwards, Stroboscopic Artefacts, SNTS, 47, and has seen remix duties on imprints like Horo, Noiztank, and Cluster Node. The result has been a sound that arrests the listener’s consciousness with a rigorous balance of ethereal vocal seduction and concussive rhythm, projecting them into a world where the forces of techno-science and magic find themselves in constant reciprocal conversation. OAKE’s intense, theatrical live shows have captivated club and festival goers all around the world, alongside DJ sets that range from grooming night-setting openers, all-night ambient vinyl sessions, to intense techno closings led by a fearless techno sound that brings together all kinds of broken styles – always keeping things high-pace, always full-on, and always producing a particular sense of satisfaction on dancefloors across the world. ---------------------------------------- Auferstehung has been received as a grand and mysterious work of art, despite working in an industrial lineage, it also "recalls the ethereal beauty of Cocteau Twins or Julee Cruise's work for David Lynch much thanks to Bathseba's otherworldly vocals, resulting in a dense, atmospheric album of real cinematic tension, one that leaves you painting the scenery in your mind (RA review).” “A dense, atmospheric album of real cinematic tension, one that leaves you painting the scenery in your mind. At times it sounds grand and mysterious, at others it evokes a pagan funeral on a windswept cliff. Yes, it is sombre. Yes, it is noisy. But Auferstehung is also rich and rewarding.” -- ResidentAdvisor “The debut LP from this mysterious duo can only be described as astonishing. “Auferstehung” is like a terrifying and intense howl from the core of the deepest winter forest. Cold but warm, this wonderful debut album provides listeners with a truly poetic and emotional dark sound.” -- Secretthirteen "This record is more than just an experimental electronic record, Auferstehung is dark ambient meeting drone, industrial merging with metal, techno running into dream pop -the vocals are a fundamental part of the whole thing, whch is an actual small gem- everything spiced up with a little punk. Oake gave us this little masterpiece, a record you should definitely listen to, love and jealously keep." -- Futurismi
