In result, he set out to re-imagine Techno\u2019s \u2018tribal\u2019 formula from the late 90s and early 00s with a more contemporary mindset. \u201cI also wanted it to see what it would be like if I replaced all the unnecessary congo bongo loops with a rhythmic section that relied solely on detuned synthesizers acting as the rhythm section. The result was a handful of \u2018drum tracks\u2019 created by synths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite being written beach-side, all four tracks still retain the hypnotic and quasi- dark grooves that Dustin has become known for. The tribal element is also nod to Zahn\u2019s earlier productions before his time with Drumcode. Dustin\u2019s new release is the first of a busy release schedule for 2016, \u201cI\u2019m really surprised at how far Enemy has come and I think it finally has a great crew of core artists. This means it hasn\u2019t left much room for my own productions, so I\u2019m returning some of the focus to myself for most of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A1: Ascendant IV \u201cthere are flames that even the darkness cannot extinguish\u201d<br \/>\nA2: Ascendant III \u201cThose who have stared into the Void are not bound by the laws of space and time\u201d<br \/>\nB1: Ascendant II \u201cBind to other beings, cell by cell, to your will\u201d<br \/>\nB2: Ascendant I \u201cHarmony within, hurricane without\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catalog Number: enemy030 Format: 12\u2033 Vinyl, MP3 Release Date: March 14, 2016 Ascension by Dustin Zahn The Ascension sessions occurred when Zahn was holed up&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":868,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[47,15,48],"class_list":["post-867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-2","category-release","tag-ascension","tag-dustin-zahn","tag-enemy030"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg",750,380,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header-300x152.jpg",300,152,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg",750,380,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg",750,380,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg",750,380,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg",750,380,false],"archive-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header-470x140.jpg",470,140,true],"single-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header-470x260.jpg",470,260,true],"featured-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header.jpg",750,380,false],"slider-nav-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Ascension-Header-110x70.jpg",110,70,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"enemyrec","author_link":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/?author=1"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Catalog Number: enemy030 Format: 12\u2033 Vinyl, MP3 Release Date: March 14, 2016 Ascension by Dustin Zahn The Ascension sessions occurred when Zahn was holed up...","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=867"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":870,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867\/revisions\/870"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enemyrecords.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
