Rhythm & Sound is one of those projects that feels timeless — a combination of dub, techno, and reggae that still sounds fresh decades later. Created by Berlin producers Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, the duo behind Basic Channel and Maurizio, the project took shape in the late ’90s with a deeper focus on Jamaican dub influences. What makes Rhythm & Sound special is its hypnotic approach. The music is all about space: echo-heavy, deep basslines and layer-on-layer of minimal sounds that leave room for every sound to breathe. It's not about big drops; it's about the mood, the groove, and the atmosphere they create. They go beyond instrumentals, though. Rhythm & Sound is known for its collaborations with legendary reggae vocalists like Cornell Campbell, Paul St. Hilaire, and Sugar Minott. These voices brought soul and depth to the tracks, combining reggae roots with Berlin’s cool, minimalist sound design. Rhythm & Sound represents a perfect bridge between Jamaican sound system culture and European electronic music, creating something that's both deeply rooted in tradition and completely forward-thinking. Their music pulls you in slowly and keeps you there — whether you're on a dancefloor or lost in your head.
