Pole is a dubtronic/glitch artist, producer, and mastering engineer based in Berlin. He is known for his innovative sound that combines elements of dub and electronic music. As the founder of *l=~scape* (now defunct) and *Pole* labels, he has been instrumental in shaping the underground music scene.

With his unique approach to production, Pole has gained a dedicated following among fans of experimental music. His soundscapes are characterized by intricate rhythms, fragmented melodies, and atmospheric textures. Drawing inspiration from artists like Jan Jelinek, Vladislav Delay, and Monolake, Pole pushes the boundaries of genre conventions.

In addition to his work as an artist, Pole also runs *Scape Mastering*, a renowned studio where he provides mastering services for other musicians. His expertise in this field has made him a sought-after collaborator for many acclaimed performers.

Stefan Betke's nine variations on damaged dub minimalism recall the best of Basic Channel techno while steering well clear of the monotony factor. As with Pole's first singles, these tracks materialize out of a haze of stuttering fuzz, bouncing thin shimmers of echoing synth off of ambiguous rhythms and taught, bulging bass. An excellent debut.
