Basic Channel's dancefloor alias; the loops that Berlin ran on for a decade

The M-Series refines BCD's idea instead of replacing it, and kept a city dancing for years. Basic Channel's dancefloor alias takes the parent project's austerity and puts it to work: the tracks are spare enough to feel severe, yet every loop is aimed at motion. Nothing is ornamental, and the floor never notices what is missing.

5 on The 10 Best Dub Techno Albums

The most reduced version of the idea anyone has managed. Two chords, an enormous amount of space, and editing so disciplined it is the entire achievement. Gathered from sides that were never issued otherwise.
