Recently, I really like a specific type of techno, I am not sure whether a name for it exists. It is rather dark, a bit slower and has that specific rhythm. I had a hard time finding tracks resembling this pattern as I heard most of it during a Grounded Theory gig, played by Blawan.

But this song delivers a good idea of what I'm talking about.

I would be more than happy if you guys know similar tracks or artists and labels I can look into.

Yeah this is a halfstep fusion of techno, industrial and dub a lot of people have been getting into. Look into artists Dadub, Tommy Four Seven, Death Abyss, Unbalance, Tomohiko Sagae, Blacksun. Oake and Regis also have some impressive stuff in this register.

If you want to check a couple albums:

Dadub -- You are Eternity
Death Abyss -- Dominate Through Will
Tommy Four Seven - Primate

It feels slower because it isn't a 4x4 kick pattern but is the same BPM as what you're usually hearing in the club -- makes for some interesting rhythmic possibilities when mixing.

Rodz-konez releases a lot of this stuff: http://poison.rodz-konez.co.uk/

This is far too short.

Distressingly so.

Also apparently a tribute to Larry Heard.

Just got hold of Home. House. Hardcore. compilation of Head High/ WK7 (Shed's aliases). Hits the spot.

@Arkady - awesome, thanks for the suggestions. Dadub just played live here a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't really into their live sets but the records indeed sound exactly like what I was describing. Thanks!

love this one. some nice german influenced techno.

[imblurredout]

This might be a stretch, but is anyone into Rhythm and Sound? Dub with a techno influence produced by two German dudes...

Rhythm and Sound are so great, also all the Basic Channel stuff they do too.

I love their sound, too!
...Altought the definition "two german dudes" might be a little demeaning, since we are talking 'bout Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald, aka Basic Channel, aka Maurizio, aka Basic Channel, aka Quadrant, aka the Masters of dub techno... and of techno
If you like their sound, search for the other names: you won't be disapponited!

Crazy, I was just listening to that in the car with my dad.

Reminded me of this RBMA lecture with Moritz. https://vimeo.com/30856513

I've missed them play together so many times.

[NoisyArmchair]

Also Objekt played my tiny home town in 100 capacity venue and I missed it. With M.E.S.H, (originally meant to be Bill Kouligas as support but he had to drop out).
