Objekt Launches New Dual-Tracker, ‘Chicken Garaage’
Redefining Rhythms: Objekt’s "Chicken Garaage" EP Blends Nostalgia and Innovation
Today marks a notable evolution in the soundscapes of electronic music as Berlin-based producer Objekt unveils his latest two-track EP, Chicken Garaage. Released under his newly minted Kapsela label, this impressive follow-up offers a nostalgic nod to the early 2000s, carving out a fresh sonic space at the intersection of breaks and UK garage.
The EP’s title track, intriguingly birthed during a late night in Melbourne while indulging in takeaway chicken karaage, embodies a playful yet sophisticated vibe that sets the tone for the record. It’s clear that Objekt, whose real name is TJ Hertz, has harnessed fresh creative energies, as he describes this track as the first fruit of a revamped workflow aimed at enhancing his notoriously meticulous production process. The result? A pulsating dancefloor anthem that pays homage to producers like T++, Horsepower Productions, and DJ Abstract while leaving an unmistakable mark of Objekt’s unique style.
The B-side, “Worm Dance,” ventures into a more organic domain, crafted from field recordings collected at a serene lake house just outside Berlin in 2022. This lush, textural approach adds a layer of depth that complements the punchy beats of the title track, showcasing Objekt’s knack for blending the digital with the analog in unexpected ways. Each sound feels like a warm embrace of nostalgia, yet simultaneously pushes forward into new territories.
Chicken Garaage emerges on the heels of Objekt’s September reissue of his acclaimed 2014 track “Ganzfeld,” which also featured compelling remixes that signaled his official foray into releasing music under Kapsela. With this new venture, he promises to carve out a collaborative platform not only for his own music but also for other artists, marking an exciting chapter in his already illustrious career.
Listeners can explore both tracks on Bandcamp, diving headfirst into the intricate layers of sound that Objekt has curated. With Chicken Garaage, he delivers a promising glimpse of what’s to come from Kapsela, reaffirming his position as one of electronic music’s most innovative and playful producers.
As the dance music community eagerly embraces this latest offering, one thing is clear: Objekt is not just revisiting the past; he’s rewriting it, one beat at a time. Two tracks, an entire world of rhythm and exploration—Chicken Garaage is out now, ready to take you on a nostalgic ride through sound and time.
