Basic Channel

Basic Channel is a German techno production duo and record label (opens in a new tab), composed of Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, that originated in Berlin in 1993.
The duo became known in the mid-1990s for a series of vinyl-only releases under various aliases marked by minimalism in both production techniques and graphic esthetics. Basic Channel is widely regarded as a pioneering force of minimal and dub techno.
The minimalist esthetics of the 12"s released by the duo / label can lead to ambiguities as to whether the names listed on releases are aliases / project names or just track / release titles, meaning that appearances of those tracks on compilations or DJ mixes were often inconsistently credited.
