It's a collaboration between German techno guys Joerg Burger (aka the Modernist, Bionaut, J Burger, etc) and Mike Ink, the man in charge of Profan and several other interesting techno labels. Damn, I can't remember any of his aliases offhand! I think it's more recent Ink than Burger, if you know either of their sounds. I haven't heard it in a while, but my memory of it was a lot of big washy synth sounds over metronome-style pulsing kicks, and quite a raw production style - things distort at the edges, without it ever getting aggro. Probably of interest to Basic Channel styled techno fans, but quite distinct from any of their releases. Anyway, if you enjoy that kind of thing, I would recommend it unreservedly. I really like it, and haven't spoken to anyone who found it a disappointment.
