Explanatory Gap
About the concept:
Here is the eighty-sixth instalment of our series “abc plays xyz”.
The idea behind it is to ask some DJs/mixing artists if they have an artist or label in mind that they love and would like to use for a mix.
So the approach of each mix is clear: the choosen DJ/mixing artist makes a selection of tracks produced by one artist (and her/his monikers) or released on a label (and its sublabels) and creates a nice mix from it.
Find links to all instalments at our overview. Today we present you Explanatory Gap’s mix of tracks released on Ōtomo.
About Explanatory Gap:
Explanatory Gap, 22 y/o, is a DJ and aspiring producer from Augsburg, Germany. He grew up listening to Techno, electronic music in general really, as well as non-electronic music which shaped his current understanding of music. Having always had the urge to express himself artistically, in one way or another, he picked up DJing as a hobby which quickly turned into his passion, next to creating his own music. Since the beginning of 2017, Explanatory Gap has been part of FACETS, a collective of like-minded artists best known for hosting their own events as well as for their podcast series that already featured several artists such as Non Reversible, Electrorites and Incident Prism, just to name a few.

Explanatory Gap About His Choice:
Ōtomo is a label with an extremely diverse collection of releases that covers anything from soft and hypnotic Techno to the harder sounds and Industrial. The sheer variety of styles, sometimes radically different, yet still connected by an “underground vibe” speaks for the crew and their attitude towards the music they release, which in turn is what I’m looking for.
