Steingarten
“Berlin studio mastermind and ~scape label proprietor Stefan Betke's latest in gurgling, crackling dub reductionism brims with ideas and vitality.”
Wald
“Wald marks a new beginning for Pole, the solo alias of the Berlin producer and mastering engineer Stefan Betke. His early albums from the last decade were dub-inspired ambient landmarks, but his new music is more spacious and open, though texture still reigns supreme.”
Fading
“Inspired by his mother’s Alzheimer’s, the German ambient-dub musician crafts a masterfully melancholy lament that takes his signature crackle and pop into unsettling new terrain.”
