While it may not seem as familiar as other artists, Sam Barker’s relationship with the Berghain / Ostgut axis is long-established. Working together with Andy Baumecker, he has released a series of albums and Eps for the label, while his own imprint, Leisure System, has hosted nights at the hallowed Berlin club. Now flying solo with Debiasing, he reveals a more contemplative edge to his sound. “Cascade Effect” and “Look How Hard I’ve Tried” are led by atmospheric chords and gentle bass tones, while on “When Prophesy Fails”, he offers up a similar, albeit slightly more frosty melodic sequence. Clearly there is a lot more going on to Barker than dance floor techno, and even the warbling rhythm of “Filter Bubbles” is complex, intricate – but always intriguing.
