CB-R offers a unique and stripped-back take on techno, revelling in filters and washes, push-pull dynamics, slowly-evolving dub chords, textured soundscapes and reverbed percussion.
“CB-R is a master of the craft, a dub artist in the tradition of M5, who can wring emotion from minimal instrumentation that he employs with incredible restraint and a laser-like attention to each and every detail.”
The tracks on “Obstructed Transmission” vary in intensity, from the late-night deep dives of Visibility Zero-Zero and Colmillo, to the powerful build and release of Wavelengths, as well as the effortlessly-shifting restraint of the title track, Obstructed Transmission.
CB-R aka Bret Winans is an extended member of Brooklyn’s fabled Confused House crew and runs his own label called S//P//A. His first solo release, Inside Existence received great attention in XLR8R, as did his work with his brother, Ben Winans aka Roche, on their Samuel Max project.
