In "Time Field," DJ Thommek brings listeners into a space where sound flows the way time does, gradually, and once it has you in its grip. Based on the art installation Timefield in Düsseldorf, it plays like something less traditional as a club tool and more like a living space, unfolding patiently and deliberately with every tick of the bar.
Built from the roots of Deep House, "Time Field" treads a path through concepts of time, repetition, and motion, emphasizing atmosphere over abundance. The groove is controlled but enveloping, designed to pull the listener in rather than push them out. It’s a track that knows the power of less, minimal vocals, strategically deployed textures, and an arrangement that feels circular rather than linear. There’s no rush here, nothing happens until the moment of arrival. And you can hear the progress DJ Thommek has made in sound design over his 5-6 years of producing electronic music with Ableton Live. There’s an emphasis on deep, melodic layers and subtle emotional details that reward a close listen. The repetition is never static, it echoes those subtle shifts of visual art, these tiny changes whose whispers build into the bellows of perception over time.
"Time Field" is particularly interesting for how it links electronic music and physical space. The inspiration's locale also lends a grounded sense of place to the track, but its abstract mood makes it beautifully litter-free and suitable for any space: whether in your head as you listen through headphones, on a late-night dancefloor, or as musical accompaniment to thought. That is music built for motion, but also for reflection. "Time Field" doesn’t require attention, it commands it.
