Thanks to @Jogi for the reaction to my comment in here because this had slipped my mind and upon listening now, yes, this is exactly what I crave from Objekt's music. I enjoy his albums and his EPs and singles both, though I understand why people prefer his shorter form releases. Incredible sound design and programming both, Hertz is absolutely a one of a kind producer and DJ and both Bad Apples and Ballast are potent reminders of this fact. Hope I get a chance to see him live again before it's too long.
