Berlin-based electronic composer Ben Lukas Boysen unveils “Quasar”, the latest single from his upcoming album Alta Ripa (out November 29 via Erased Tapes). Known for his deeply textured, cinematic approach to electronic music, Boysen takes a bold new direction, merging Berlin’s pulsating underground rhythms with his signature atmospheric soundscapes.
A Sonic Transformation
Opening with ethereal, spectral tones, “Quasar” gradually evolves into a rhythmic, groove-driven piece, effortlessly walking the line between head-nodding electronica and dancefloor-ready energy. This shift marks a new chapter in Boysen’s artistry—returning to the club-inspired influences of his youth while maintaining his signature rich, emotive production style.
The Influence of Berlin & Beyond
Boysen’s sound has always been shaped by his surroundings. Originally from rural Germany, his move to Berlin in the early 2000s infused his work with the city’s raw energy and diverse sonic influences. Alta Ripa embodies this transformation, blending his introspective, classical-influenced compositions with the driving, rhythmic intensity of Berlin’s electronic scene.
The Sound of “Quasar”
Expect glitchy textures, swelling synths, and hypnotic drum patterns, balancing between melancholic beauty and kinetic momentum. This is electronic music for deep listening, yet it carries an undeniable club sensibility, making it a track that can be equally appreciated in solitude or on the dancefloor.
