The very first track I did for the Project Codec & Flexor. In fact it was just a remix from an original track that was kind of electronic pop music. Flexor and I meet each other in a very small village and we played in a Indie-school-Band (I was still playing guitar at this time). After the band broke up, Flexor and I decided to keep on making music. At this time I started already producing techno and did several Live-Acts. The project was a lot more song orientated. I knew this is going to work if I am doing a remix. And so I did. The result was that track you are listening to.
I sent it to some record labels and we got immediately response and our first record deal. The track became a small „underground hit“ and was licensed various times (for example by Erol Alkan, totally unknown at this time). We started to tour as a live-act and did not stop for many years.

The track was released 2001 (to be honest 2000, we messed up with the date to make it feel more „now“ back in the days.)

The rehearsal room that is shown on the back of the record cover wasn’t our real rehearsal room. We built it up from scratch as the record company and the shooting location wasn’t at the place where we lived at that time. But the real one looked quite the same.

Codec & Flexor - Crazy Girls (High Quality)

The b-side from our very first 12inch. I had to record and remaster the track, because the record was sold out before decades and the original production files don't exist anymore. None of the programs I produced that are fitting to any existing os. Nobody ever expected the record was hitting the clubs that much.
I did my best, but still there are some vinyl crackles and hisses on the track. 
We played that track as an opener for our live acts for a long time.

Crazy Girls

Breakout

Codec & Flexor - Breakout (very rare / remastered from vinyl) [2000]

Never digital released track from our very first 12". We also played it never live, as it is a little bit to housey for the common clubs we played. In this track you can hear that the project was intentionally more a song orientated one. Although it is 20 years old, I think it is still listenable and transporting the feeling we had when we started our musical journey.

Codec & Flexor - Getting bigger (very rare / remastered from vinyl)[2000]

Slightly remastered version. Just a little more "mojo". More glued together, more ambiance and a little louder. Should fit better to actual playlists.

Best,

Inspired by some old memories this is a reminder to myself. To remind me about a time when music still had impact and techno had the power of the biggest (youth-)movement on the planet.

This is an unreleased track.

Reminder

Basically a cut from a live performed idea. I really liked the percussion flow, so I thought maybe somebody else is enjoying it too. You should wear headphones. The track is all about playing around with stereo.

That track has only one task: make you dance in a very pushing, uncompromising and focused way. It did the job for me. Hope you enjoy it too.

First track I am quite satisfied with, after a new studio configuration. My Elektrons, the modular system and my DAW are more and more fusioning.

Hallo zusammen, es gibt eine neu gemasterte Version. Ich habe das eigentlich für mich privat gemacht, damit ich das selbst einfach besser anhören kann. Ich habe inhaltlich nichts geändert und es fällt nur im A/B-Vergleich auf, aber die Version ist etwas lauter und ein wenig räumlicher. 
Aber wirklich ganz, ganz dezent. Ich wollte, dass der Track etwas besser in aktuelle Playlists passt. Ist aktuell in den Spotlights oder direkt hier zu erreichen.

Das gilt übrigens auch für die anderen Stücke des Albums. Ich lade die sukzessive hoch mit meinen Lieblings-Pressebildern aus dieser Zeit. Viel Spaß damit. Von Herzen, C.

Codec - Weekender (released 2012 under realname)

This track is the first one I’ve fully produced, properly mixed, and professionally mastered in a very long time. The idea behind it was to capture the organic energy of the dance floor, which I love so much, and which, in my opinion, is no longer achievable with today’s music and the pointless short sets of entertainment DJs. The track is meant to sound as if an organic being is breathing steadily, connecting everyone together, or like a giant tanker on which everyone is embarking on a grand journey together. The track is, in a way, monotonous and repetitive, yet on the other hand, organic and playful. I hope I was able to bring these intentions to life and that you’ll enjoy the track.

First track I did after a break for almost 5 year. I was fed up with music biz and the "modern" common way to produce. Sitting behind a computer and feeling like I am doing an office job. I restarted doing music complete analog without any ambition of releasing, just playing around. This is the first track I did with this new setup.

CV Addict is a boundary-pushing techno producer known for his unapologetically raw, analog soundscapes. In an age where digital precision often overshadows authenticity, CV Addict stands out as a true sound experimentalist, meticulously crafting each track with analog and modular synthesizers. His studio is a playground of cables, knobs, and patch cords, where he spends countless hours exploring new sonic territories and reshaping the traditional boundaries of techno.

Unlike many artists in today’s techno scene, CV Addict is fiercely independent and vocal about his disdain for the genre’s commercialization. He believes that techno, at its core, is about innovation, subversion, and the underground spirit—a perspective that has increasingly become marginalized as the genre has entered mainstream spaces. For him, techno isn’t about polished, crowd-pleasing drops; it’s a visceral experience, meant to challenge and inspire.

CV Addict’s tracks are marked by a unique combination of gritty textures, hypnotic sequences, and pulsating rhythms that seem to echo the heartbeat of underground techno culture. His music appeals to listeners who crave authenticity and are drawn to the raw, immersive energy of analog sounds. By resisting the lure of commercial trends, CV Addict has cultivated a loyal following that values his dedication to the craft, often describing his live performances as an exploration of sound rather than a typical DJ set.

With an uncompromising approach to music production and a passion for analog synthesis, CV Addict continues to carve his own path, staying true to the roots of techno while pushing its sonic possibilities. His work resonates as a reminder that in an increasingly commercialized world, there are still artists who prioritize authenticity over profit.
