Recondite had his first experience with drum machines and synthesizers a few years ago in a small studio by the forest in Lower Bavaria. It wasn't long before he moved to Berlin to set up Plangent Records, where the artist quickly established his name. “Plangent #001” was well received, and with three powerful EPs released in 2011, he caught the attention of Scuba, who included “Backbone” on his DJ KiCKS mix and quickly released two Recondite remixes on Hot Flush. Following up with releases in his own Plangent series, he also put out the “EC10 EP” on Dystopian in early 2013, an album that was as hard as it was experimental. Progressively, this all led to his second LP and first release on Ghostly International, “Hinterland”. The record acknowledges the best moments of his previous releases and ultimately creates what he believes is something that captures the personality of Rottal-Inn, a district in southeastern Bavaria, Germany, and his hometown. With the release of further EPs on Innervisions (“Psy”) and Dystopian (“Nadsat”), as well as live performances around the world, he continues to demonstrate his ability and versatility.
