Second in our Break 3000 revisited classics series are three songs from the period 2001-2002. The opener "Sacrifice" was featured on the great DJ-Kicks compilation by Tiga in 2002, a real breakthrough year for Electro Clash! The second track here is from the same period but was never released, we carefully recovered it from the DAT tapes for you. The finale is "Spacemaschinenreise", this one was on the first vinyl release on the Maastricht label Meuse Muzique and rounds of this second archive edition in a fine and spacey way. 

All tracks have been carefully recovered from the vaults and remastered at Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Fort Romeau’s Cin Cin imprint returns with two new emotive and melodic house cuts from Soela. @soelaela

Two new tracks “Berlin” and “Do I Really Need You” see her develop on the deep, modern and melodic style of house music she crafted on her excellent debut LP “Genuine Silk” (Dial Records) and across previous EPs on Cologne powerhouse Kompakt. 

“Elina released what was for me on of the strongest electronic long players of 2020; taut, classical song craft coupled with a modern deep sound aesthetic that beautiful marries elements of various disparate electronic styles. I’m really happy to be able to release these two new tracks which I’m sure will find loving homes in both electronica fans headphone rotation and the record boxes of discerning DJs looking to craft memorable moments on the floor

Michael Mayer’s latest EP, Brainwave Technology, comes at you purposeful, stealthy and sly. It’s a glorious left turn for the redoubtable producer, one that sees his typically lean and lithe productions buffed to a metallic, futurist sheen. There’s a gleam in the eyes of tracks like “Brainwave Technology” and “Alpha” that speaks of serious fun, of the intersection of the pleasure zone and the frontal lobe.

“Brainwave Technology” itself is informed by Mayer’s deep dive into the thorny terrain of artificial intelligence, transhumanism and posthumanism. Inspired by reading German philosopher Richard David Precht, Mayer found himself heading down the “proverbial rabbit hole,” as he describes it, “watching hours of YouTube material by self-proclaimed prophets of these ‘inevitable’ changes to come.” Never one to be taken in by the egotist’s dance, Mayer’s cynicism about the whole endeavour is tempered, a little, by the deeper questions that these figures gesture towards: “Is it really an evolutionary step that man and machine become one? Or is it rather a marketing plot by Silicon Valley billionaires?”

On “Brainwave Technology”, Mayer plays the charlatans at their own game, turning their logic against them by exposing the fruitiness of their ‘visions’. “I chose irony as my sword with which I chopped off some quotes from some of those batshit crazy prophets and self-promoters,” he explains of the drooling psychobabble he drops in the track’s lacuna. There’s a sense of humour here – how could you not laugh at these hungover egotists? – but there’s levity too, a sense that Mayer’s using sound to expose the contradictions and double-speak at the heart of these half-formed ideas. It’s a Burroughsian tactic, to slice into the heart of the voice to see what hidden truths surface.

It was Burroughs, too, who once said that “when you cut into the past, the future leaks out”; Brainwave Technology cuts into the logic of the futurologist to leak out the messiness of modern reality. On “Alpha” and “Gamma”, Mayer seems to conjure up the stark, ominous music that’d soundtrack a science fiction reinterpretation – or preinterpretation – of our modern malaise, all funereal wreaths of electronic noise and clatterboxing beats. As the EP resolves with “Device For The Young At Heart”, Mayer’s questions are piling up: “Do we want to become immortal and live on as a download? Do we really give up on Earth and put all our effort into colonising Mars?” There are no answers, of course, but plenty of imaginings-to-be. Brainwave Technology soundtracks both dystopian and utopian possibilities of what could come next.

"Recreated Silence" was originally intended to be Dub Taylor’s second album. Since Alex Krüger had just released his Dub Techno debut, the "Forms And Figures" album on Raum…musik in early 2001 and another LP "Detect" was already planned to be released in autumn that same year via Forcetracks, seven of the album tracks had been put out under the Shura moniker on the "3b" Label in summer 2001. It often happens that an unfamiliar name gets overlooked even though it most likely would have reached a wider audience with a bigger name on it. So unfortunately this happened here too. While the two Dub Taylor albums both became genre classics for many in the Dub House/Dub Techno field, though the tracks of the double vinyl were un-mistakenly unique Dub Taylor trademark beauties of that era, the Shura album stayed completely under the radar.
 
What fascinates us the most is, how much "Recreated Silence" is the perfect connection between "Forms And Figures" and "Detect". There's the more dirty, atmospheric and experimental approach of the debut paired with the tools, loops and the minimalism of the Forcetracks LP. If you ask the man himself, he'll tell you that even after twenty years this still is his favourite of the three Dub Taylor albums in 2001. There was also a fourth, yet unreleased album, recorded in 2001 that goes beyond the Detect-vibe. But that’s a different story and very likely to be released here in the future.
 
For the reissue we've chosen to swap the original vocal version of "Alone" with its formerly unreleased instrumental mix. The Recreated Silence sessions also included three more unknown tracks of which we felt the spooky ambient tune "Shellac" to blend in perfectly with the other seven tunes from the original "3b" release.
 
So here it is again, freshly remastered, dubby, dirty and for the first time available digital. We really hope you like it as much as we do.

01 - Pink Zebra
02 - Hirokos Riddim
03 - Melancoholic
04 - 33 Travellers

With his new EP, Alex Krüger aka Tigerskin continues his journey through wild, versatile and groovy Caribbean moods and beyond pure club functionality. Pink Zebra and Melancoholic both transport proper island vibes with a wink yet are still undoubtful Tigerskin trademark productions. Hirokos Riddim is a wet-sounding homage to the ‘Sleng Teng Riddim,’ a preset groove found in a certain trashy Japanese keyboard of the early 80s that accidentally lead to the invention of Dancehall Music by King Jammy and Wayne Smith in the mid 80s. The EP closes with the majestic rock-ish 33 Travellers, a tune based on a groove of another model of japanese trash keyboards that Alex distorted and recorded through grannies old tube radio when he was a teenager. Positive vibes for y'all! 

All tracks mixed by Stefan Janson and mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Exclusive: Relative - Put On Your Gloves

Simone Guerra alias Relative is ready to release his collective works from the years 2015 - 2021. The Flexi Cuts label head compiled a nine-tracker that covers various of his previously released works and also music that's brand new on this dedication to deeper House sounds. Put On Your Gloves, the second track from Relative's Soul Searching (The Album Works: 2015 - 21), seems to connect the dots between pulsating morning vibes and ecstatic prime time moments - it's deep, it's mental, it's probably club music at its best. The whispered spoken vocals add a mystery almost transcendental note to the composition with all its trancy moments that add up to a track driven by synth arpeggios that is hard to escape from as it is what the music has stood for since the beginning: escapism from reality.

Relative's LP Soul Searching (The Album Works: 2015 - 21) will be released on Flexi Cuts on November 5th, 2021
