Wasserstoff (‚water stuff‘, hydrogen) is a programmatic pseudonym

Composer/producer Christian Ogrinz aka Wasserstoff develops a unique sound that is rooted in radical Bass Music minimalism.

Instead of chords as triads, Wasserstoff operates with two lines, a melodic motif and a bassline.

In the beat, Wasserstoff functions as the art of the fugue, only rarely do two signals meet, they cancel each other out. The sound is organic.

Wasserstoff (‚water stuff‘, hydrogen) works in series, usually four tunes that remix each other in a self-similar way and as minimal variants, inspiring each other like children at play.

The Real series was created as a precursor to the South African-inspired first Berlin Wibes album. It combines Amapiano and Gqom Vibes.

With the 808, it also opens up a perspective in the direction of trap style, the predominant new school rap sound that currently flows into ‘Leaders of the New World’.

The Real Tunes are named after literary works, in this case Thomas Bernhard’s ‘Extinction’.
