Basic Channel is a Berlin-based electronic music duo formed in the early 1990s, comprising Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus. They are known for their influential role in the development of dub techno, a genre that blends the rhythmic foundations of techno with the spacious and echo-filled production style of dub music. Basic Channel's work often features deep basslines, minimalist structures, and immersive soundscapes, characterized by intricate layering and a pronounced use of reverb and delay effects. They released seminal tracks and albums on their own label, Basic Channel, along with other offshoots like Rhythm & Sound, which further explored similar sonic territories. Their pioneering sound has left a lasting impact on the global electronic music scene, inspiring countless artists and producers.
