After a pair of well-received EPs and a string of immersive live shows over the past year, Berlin based producer Mike Jefford prepares the release of his first long player under the Positive Centre moniker, entitled ‘In Silent Series’.

Within this Album, Jefford offers a larger window into his unique take on techno. Submerged rhythm and shadow-drenched sonics combine with tunneling bass heft to create an at times unsettling blend of extreme momentum and forced introspection. The delicacy of Jefford's production helps set him apart from fellow techno producers currently mining the combination of darker palettes and slower tempos, while the cohesiveness of the album and it's structural narrative belie the fact that this is only the third official Positive Centre release. 'In Silent Series' confirms Jefford's unique sound has emerged fully formed into the modern techno landscape.

Influenced by the GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) School Masters, Pierre Henry and Iannis Xenakis, as well as more contemporary manipulators of sound (from King Tubby and Scientist through to Marsen Jules and Aphex Twin), Positive Centre takes the exploration of sound reproduction and audio collage into rhythmic and hypnotic spirals of reverberated walls of sound, emphasising subtle changes in repetition with low frequency sound.
