While the first part of Len Faki's Basement Trax series (OSTGUT 064EP, 2013) was characterized by vocals, spheric sounds, and melodies, the Berghain resident almost completely passes on these elements with Vol. 02. With B-PAX and For Real, he sets the tone before adding melodic elements, bleeps, and hints of ambient sounds. Faki connects Hainish Cycle to those moments of trance, of zero gravity without a sense of time at Berghain. Which is why the rhythmic hi-hat kicks in only more than halfway through. Everything's in flux and harmony already, you almost don't need it. A1. B-Pax, B1. for Real, B2. Hainish Cycle
