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.

The second Pole full-length, 2, is similar in style to its numerical predecessor, which actually had been a compilation of previously released material. So while the two albums are similar in style, 2 is more consistent in approach, if perhaps less interesting on account of this. Regardless of your preference -- be it consistency or variety -- both 1 and 2 are first-rate ambient dub-techno in the grand tradition of Basic Channel and Chain Reaction.
