Tenth Aesthetic: Dean Grenier
Recommended
Don't Miss
Berlin-based techno producer Dean Grenier serves up thick, dark bangers that make you feel like what you imagine that German city’s dankest underground clubs sound like. Go to his SoundCloud and check out “Privacy Policy” for an idea of the hard, precision beats and psychedelic tone spray of Grenier’s engineering. It’s such an all-powerful jam, you almost hope he spends his entire set spinning subtle variations off of it. In actuality, his entire 2019 Color Code EP, on which “Privacy Policy” appears, is a mind-blowing and body-moving dance-floor weapon of utmost lethality. Reminds me of that trip-enhancing, late-’90s/early-’00s tekno from cold northern European countries—a high compliment.
