As the listeners travels to the end of the album, they have potentially reached a place of awakening and rebirth (its closing tracks).” Tim goes further into its mechanics on the album’s creation on the album’s trailer video, which you can watch here. Each song really represents a different dimension. This radio ultimately ends up being the vessel to transport the user to new times and places. The first song depicts static and a vintage radio. Of the album’s avant-garde approach, Tim says, “The story I had in mind stems from the concept of reaching new dimensions. Others have no frame of reference other than the here and now. Some tracks draw notably on sonic references from decades past. Eclectic FX, 303 and industrialism echo in one track, supplanted by galactic and otherworldly sounds/sequences in the next. Throughout you’ll find everything from the filmic to the dramatic, the clandestine to the kaleidoscopic and the edgy to the aquiline. The album’s frequencies don’t oscillate wildly, but remain in a constant state of flux. Using the radio dial as a mechanic, which gives certain sections an ethereally retro futuristic feel, the album station-surfs through its numbers. Be in no doubt though, everyone’s going to be walking away with an opinion. Conclusions on it are the individual listeners alone to draw. The result is a higher thinking, expertly established electronic music trip. Stepping in, Tim would have you see every track as being largely the same, albeit assembled in a different dimension. When tonal contrasts occur, they’re incidental – part of the album’s bigger picture/broader experience. Comparably it’s also never dark for the sake of being “moody” or “cool,” or light simply to provide respite. If one track has a stronger techno bias, the next will have a markedly different composite – and an un-anticipatable one at that. To expect its first track to be its darkest or its last the lightest/clubbiest will quickly false foot you. Radio Silence doesn’t play out in a building “mix-comp” fashion.

Thus this is an album not about progression, but dimension (or indeed dimensions plural). Seeing electronic music in a non-linear/non-binary form, Tim doesn’t address it from the same standpoint as you or I. Tightly curated and (by virtue of) a perfectly formed album compact, it’s time for Radio Silence. To date a singles-focussed producer, the onset of 2019 will see the debut of Tim’s first mass body of work. However at the musical crossroads of John Digweed, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, John 00 Fleming and Max Graham lies the crux of it. Some have him down as “the deep trance guy.” Others “progressive,” “deep house” or to some, anything with “tech” in its title. That “area” specifically though depends on who you’re talking to. Lauded by DJs who themselves enjoy multi-genre appeal, he’s become one of the most discussed music makers in his area. Since his first radar appearance back in 2014, he’s released deeper sided cuts on Slideways Music, JOOF Recordings, Cycles, and a half dozen other prominent labels. Currently hovering around molten, four years in and four years up the Torontonian’s working, touring and producing, well, pretty much everywhere these days. The winery is energy neutral, producing the wine with their Biogas plant and a photovoltaic system which produces more energy than they need.You don’t need us to tell you how much heat Tim Penner’s generating right now. They use their own seeds to sow cover crops and producing straw which they use as mulch to maintain soil moisture. Sustainably certified by agroVet, the winery is energy neutral, producing surplus to return to the grid. Sustainably certified (agroVet), the grapes come from single vineyard sites situated in the Northen Krems Valley from an area north of the city of Krems near the Danube and in a beautiful area around the town of Seftenberg, the vines are planted on a mixture of loess, clay, granite mix.

Abundant red cherry, plum and vibrant berry fruits combine in this joyful, bright and incredibly juicy red medium-bodied with beautifully ripe and light tannins and touch of spice on the finish. Gruner Veltliner is joined by a bright, juicy, joyful red produced from 100% Zweigelt. The palate is rich with flavours of melon and grapefruit with a refreshing, zippy finish. With its subtle exotic hints, ripe pear and fresh citrus flavours, it's a dry wine with complex flavours. Kick back and take a moment to enjoy the silence with a glass of Grüner Veltliner.
