Netlabel de la Semana – Thinner

Thinner es un netlabel Alemán con uno de los mas extensos catálogos de música electrónica (mas de 100 referencias), en el que nos vamos a  encontrar con estilos que van desde el mas puro Techno, hasta otros no tan conocidos como el maximal, experimental, home, field, clicks, etc.

Se trata de un sello que está en activo desde 1998, por lo que podemos considerarlo como uno de los veteranos de la escena, un sello no se mantiene en activo durante tantos años si la calidad de sus artistas no tiene el nivel necesario y, en este caso puedo asegurar que nos vamos a encontrar con unas producciones muy cuidadas, no e tenido oprtunidad de escuchar todas sus referencias, pues e descubierto este sello hace apenas un par de semanas, pero las que e escuchado así me lo parecen…Digitalis, Bern, Gabriel Le Mar y un largo etcétera, de lo que no cabe duda es de que tenemos muchas horas de disfrute musical para un amplio abanico de gustos.

Thinner is releasing electronic music in digital file formats under creative commons license. the netlabel exists since 1998 and enjoys worldwide critical acclaim for its music. it was founded by thomas jaldemark and is today operated by sebastian redenz and ole schulte as leading parts of an international team. the headquater is based in frankfurt am main, germany. till today, thinner productions had accumulated over two million mp3 downloads.

randomly select an available release from the extensive thinner discography and there’s a very high probability that the sounds on that album can be broadly described as “dub-inspired” i.e. some permutation of a fusion of dub with house, techno, or even ambient music. it’s also quite possible that the album could be further redefined as belonging to the sound departments of either “dubby techhouse“ or “intelligent dub”, and, if not one of these, the more evasive aesthetic referred to as “minimalism” is an increasingly more likely descriptor. an alternate categorization can also classify the music as either soft and mellifluous or hard and edgy.

although dub-influences are clearly the predominant inspiration behind the general flavor of the thinner sound, even a cursory sampling of its catalog quickly reveals that thinner is not a static label. during the time period 2001 – 2006, thinner has grown and evolved to encompass a wider variety of sounds and to make available a more diverse palette of releases from which interested listeners can make their selections. the early steady stream of signature dub-inspired techno/house music for which thinner initially became recognized still make their appearances but, as time has progressed and tastes have changed, new sounds have found their way into the thinner discography. while many of early thinner virtual releases were clearly efforts to emulate styles/genres similar to those offered by popular physical labels (eg. basic channel), later albums demonstrate innovative efforts to offer new sounds and/or interesting hybrids of existing ones.
