Cosmic Diversity by RVDS

Hamburg synthesist Richard von der Schulenburg returns to Bureau B with the follow up to last year’s Moods & Dances 2021, harnessing hardware crunch, cryptic found sounds and field recordings on a mission for Cosmic Diversity. Taking inspiration from the haunting electronica of BoC and Plaid, refracted here through the half-life of a Zeiss lens, RVDS navigates the musical multiverse, simultaneously straddling electro, IDM, kosmische and dub across eight exploratory compositions. Created during lockdown as an escape from the insular, this LP looks outward but reaches inwards with emotive melodies at every turn.

RVDS is Richard von der Schulenburg. He has been a resident DJ at the Golden Pudel club in Hamburg since 2005 and produces/DJs house, ambient and techno under this name while also producing/DJ-ing disco under his alias Riccardi Schola
