Pole is the project of ground-breaking electronic musician Stefan Betke. His 2020 album 'Fading' is the first since 2015's 'Wald'. As with every Pole record, it's part of a continued forward trajectory but it also connects to a pre-existing sonic framework. 'Every Pole record connects to recordings that I've made before', Betke says, 'in order to stay in this kind of vertical development. The ideas from 1, 2, 3 up to now are connected. I keep the interesting elements, languages and vocabulary that I designed and add new elements'. 'Fading' follows the physical released on Mute of remastered versions of his iconic albums 1, 2, 3 to much acclaim.
