EmptySet

Emptyset is a Bristol based production duo exploring techno music’s broad influences and compiling them to a studio template focused on tight production and detailed sound design. Inspired by the city’s culture of bass lead production as well as the global renaissance of electronic music, the sound has been described as techno meets dubstep folded back onto techno again, a description which is perhaps the most insightful to date. The project owes credit to the classic releases of M-Plant, Sahko and Chain Reaction as well as more recent producers such as Luciano, Burial and False.
