For this project, Ricardo Villalobos reinterprets two tracks -- 'Orin' and 'Factory' -- originally composed by Goat (JP) for choreographer and performance artist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCindy van Acker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's dance piece \"Without References\". Goat (JP), led by Osaka-based composer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKoshiro Hino\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eYPY, Kakuhan, Boredoms, Mark Fell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), is widely regarded as a leading force in contemporary minimalist composition. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWithout References\/Cindy Van Acker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Goat (JP) transforms non-tonal rhythmic patterns into intricate, hypnotic structures with remarkable depth. In this new version, the group's simultaneously tribal and futuristic sound is reshaped by Villalobos' distinctive production style, which draws from both minimalist techno and Latin American rhythmic traditions. Ricardo Villalobos is a pioneering figure in minimal techno, known for his hypnotic and deeply rhythmic approach to electronic music. Born in Chile and raised in Germany after his family fled Pinochet's regime, Villalobos developed an early fascination with percussion, beginning to play congas and bongos at the age of eleven. This tactile engagement with rhythm continues to inform his production work today. Influenced by both Latin American folk traditions and the emerging house and techno scenes of late-1980s Europe, he began DJing and producing in the early 1990s and quickly gained cult status within global club culture. Cindy van Acker's dance piece \"Without References\" features scenography by visionary choreographer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRomeo Castellucci\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The stage environment evokes a space that shifts between a waiting room, a train station hall, and a mid-century installation. Eleven dancers interpret Van Acker's precise yet fluid movements, interacting with Goat (JP)'s percussive, stripped-down compositions to create a visceral and immersive performance.
