Review (GER):
"...The clips here only tell half the story, these are meticulously evolving and utterly absorbing pieces."

Review (UK):
"Now it's the turn of Klangkollektor, indulging a collection of hazy dub excursions which sit somewhere near Balearic splendour, piano-charged melancholy and isolation tank meditation. In the dub tradition the approach is consistent and evenly paced, but it's certainly not aiming for any kind of typical Jamaican sound. Instead, there's a gentle introspection to the melodic content which gels perfectly with the spacious approach to mixing, unfurling across four sides of wax for an album you can just melt into."

Review (UK):

"...Klangkollektor has meticulously crafted seven beautiful pieces of dub informed electronic music here that effortlessly bridge the worlds of ambient and techno, united by a shared dreamlike Balearic aesthetic and a pleasingly dubwise approach to mixing desk experimentation that´s topped off with some exquisite Satie-esque piano that´s really the icing on the cake. Just have a listen to the clips above. Beautiful."

Review (UK):

"Matt says: Another heartfelt release from BiD. Klangkollektor take King Tubby's to the White Isle / Adriatic via the echo chambers of K&D or the futurist studios of Düsseldorf or Detroit. An intersection of sonic ley lines delivered in a languid, dreamlike state that takes you on a real head trip."

Review (GER):

" ..."Dubtapes Volume 1" is a repeat candidate, i.e.heavy rotation. Best album from Bavaria 2024 so far!"

(UK):

"This one has already had some heavy rotation in the shop & is a big personal favourite. Fans of deep dub techno & 90’s bedroom electronica this one is for you."
