Diamond Version is an EDM project created by Olaf Bender (Byetone) and Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto), mainly with elektro rhythms. Background Diamond Version was founded in 2011. The project arose from a meeting with Daniel Miller of Mute Records. They supported Depeche Mode at a concert in Zagreb, 2013. Bender and Nicolai concentrate, starting with Kraftwerk, musically on highly standardised basic rhythms with references to elektro, ebm, avantgarde music, electro formulas, techno, and house music. In parts, the music of Diamond Version connects to the electro house since the late 1990s. Were You There on their debut album 2014, a spiritual from 1899, was recorded with Neil Tennent (vocals). Constructivist fluorescence as a collaboration with Atsuhiro Ito, "known for his use of modified fluorescent tubes as a sound source (the instrument which he christened the Optron). In an incisive and elegant show, Ito's solos are an excellent noisist counterpoint for Diamond Version's minimalist post techno screens. Discharges of sonic distortion to compliment the masterful patterns of constructivist electronica produced by Bender and Nicolai."
