Album lore

Styles, issued in December 1995 on Confused Recordings, collects three tracks from German producer Huntemann at a formative moment in minimal techno and trance. The EP’s trio—Turn it Up, Massive, and Phreaks—presents stripped-down rhythms and acid-tinged synth lines that align closely with the mid-90s rave and house scenes. The title track Phreaks exemplifies the record’s lean, mechanical pulse, where minimalism meets a driving, hypnotic energy.As a 12-inch artifact, Styles captures the restrained yet insistent qualities of early German techno production, reflecting the era’s club-focused ethos. Though modest in its footprint—garnering a small but steady listenership on Last.fm—the record’s concise program offers a clear signal of Huntemann’s emerging voice within that lineage. Its sparse palette and repetitive structures remain a point of interest for collectors and DJs tracing the evolution of minimal electronic dance music.
