Focus: Dub Techno New York Performances

At Nowadays, “Focus: Dub Techno” traces a line from Berlin’s studio lineage into a New York dance floor. Moritz von Oswald, a foundational figure behind Basic Channel and a frequent collaborator of Detroit’s Juan Atkins and Carl Craig, appears alongside Exos and Loidis for a set rooted in echo, negative space, and pressure-tested rhythm. Dub techno has circulated in NYC clubs for decades, but it rarely arrives with its originators in the room. The music’s restraint reads less like minimalism than architecture.
