On his fourth album proper, Now Here No Where, Danish producer Klsch

(aka Rune Reilly Klsch) is charting new terrain. Fans of his 'years

trilogy' - 1977, 1983 and 1989, released on Kompakt over the past

decade - were privy to a kind of sonic diary, an autobiography,

tracking the artist's early years through three albums of superior,

meticulously rendered techno. Calling in collaborators where needed -

most notably, the strings of Gregor Schwellenbach - there was still

something deeply personal going down, not quite hermetic, but

internally focused; the albums proved not only Klsch's mastery of his

chosen form, but also his capacity to make techno personal,

individual, and to trace histories of the self through music. But on

Now Here No Where, Klsch finds his feet firmly planted in the

present. Reflecting on his new album, he notes, "It is fascinating to

write about memories and feelings that have had years to manifest and

develop, but how would I approach current emotions?" It's a good

question: our past coheres through the narratives we build around

memories, but the moment we're in, the newness of the now-ness, is

harder to navigate; this story is as yet untold. For Klsch, this

makes Nowhere Now Here "an album about life in the year 2020. A time

defined by confusion, misinformation and environmental challenges. It

is an emotional interpretation of personal and mental challenges,

observations and personal growth." Klsch does this with music that

effortlessly balances emotional heft with the dancefloor's brimming

desires. It's a space that Klsch has navigated for a while now - one

of techno's breakthrough acts, an in-demand DJ across the globe and a

prolific and restlessly creative producer, he's also Kompakt's

biggest-selling act - but Now Here No Where ratchets up the lushness,

making for a delirious drift across twelve tracks that are at once

perfectly poised and deeply trippy. "Great Escape" is an elegant

swoon, an opener that pivots on a sigh and a prayer; then "Shoulder Of

Giants" bustles into view, subliminal clatter and an aching violin

line giving way to a riff that glows with fluorescence and

iridescence. "Remind You" combines an odd ECM jazziness with notes

from a twenty-first century torch song; "Sleeper Must Awaken" mines

huge buzzing synths and lets them float, in and out of sync, with

reduced, ticking beats; "Traumfabrik" (dream factory - there's a

giveaway) is oddly lush, the tones malleable and plastic, morphing

across a glitching undertow. There are sad, emotional washes of

strings throughout the penultimate "While Waiting For Something To

Care About", while "Romtech User Manual"'s patterns twist and shape in

the light. Throughout, Klsch never keeps his eye off the dancefloor,

and you can tell this is his still his home. "The amount of energy and

joy I experience every time I perform, has a profound effect on me. It

has inspired me so much of late and has become an integral part of my

musicality." "The way we join in expressing our hope for the future

every weekend has given me so much," Klsch concludes. The club as a

temporary autonomous zone, as a space both of freedom and of politics;

somehow, that's all here, Now Here No Where. "Most of all, it is an

album about hope."
