Around Berlin, Rashad Becker’s name is synonymous with sonic brilliance - a mastering engineer at Basic Channel’s Dubplates & Mastering studio, he put the finishing touches on over 1,200 of your favorite techno, dub, and house records. Following Basic Channel, Becker set up his own Clunk studio in Kreuzberg, where he created his compelling debut for the PAN label, 2013’s Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. 1. The record is a disorienting three-dimensional thrill ride inside Becker’s mind, full of overlapping layers, links, and elastic audibles that stick and twist in your mind.

His response to the first question is so much better than it had to be.

About the different sounding of same sequence recordered at the begining of disk vs end of disk, IF indeed is the same sound sequence, and not two different sounds, the cause may be the different relative speed of diamond on the groove (higher speed at begining of disk, and lower speed at the end of disk) which assure increased dynamics at the begining - let's make an analogy and think to different sound quality assured by different speeds of reel-to-reel players. Also, there is a different stylus angle on the groove at the begining vs end of a disk, and this may have an influence - this hypothese may be verified using a linear tracking turntable, where the stylus is perfectly tangent to groove from the begining to the end.

Why doesn't he like tape?

He was talking about delicate phase relationships. Possibly tape tampers with this type of thing in a way he finds undesirable. Just a hunch. Also noise floor and more equipment to maintain of course.
