Phylyps Trak
1993 · Basic Channel
Ranked No. 1 in Dub Techno
A single chord, a filter and eleven minutes. Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus establish that a techno record can consist almost entirely of the space around its own decay.

Quadrant Dub
1994 · Basic Channel
Ranked No. 2 in Dub Techno
The purest statement of the method — the rhythm dissolves into delay returns and never quite reassembles. Thirty years on it still sounds like it was mastered underwater on purpose.

Quadrant Dub
1994 · Basic Channel
Picked by 1994
Two Berliners running techno through dub's mixing desk and inventing a genre almost as a side effect. Nothing about it sounds like a founding document, which is usually how founding documents sound at the time.

Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
The rhythm dissolves into delay returns and never quite reassembles. Thirty years on it still sounds mastered underwater, deliberately.
