Clearing

Label head Orion returns to Absence of Facts with a fast, no-nonsense two-tracker. Running at 138bpm, the title track "Clearing" is a stripped-back, bassline-driven DJ tool focused purely on momentum and an infectious groove. On the flip, "Thicket" delivers relentless, loopy energy. Driven by tight percussion and raw sequences, it's a hypnotic, high-tempo floor-filler. With its roots firmly in the relentless techno of the '90s, Absence of Facts presents modern analog-inspired tracks that have been handcrafted and carefully selected in Berlin, Germany.
