Whether working separately or together as Aquaplano, Donato Dozzy and Nuel make techno that‘s fueled by a sense of cosmic drama. Even their club tracks feel profound—abstract compositions that, in their wordless language of rhythm and sound, seem to dwell on the mysteries of existence. Their Aquaplano project was initially short-lived, yielding a pair of desperately sought-after EPs (eventually reissued on Spectrum Spools) and a string of 12-inches on the label of the same name. This year, though, Aquaplano is back, with an album in the works and DJ and live sets to follow.
