immer wieder ein schmaler Grad zwischen höchstem Glücksgefühl und dem Tod

Kudos to the record dealer in Mainz who gave this album to my teenage self without hesitation after I asked for “this track played by Väth at Omen in the morning with the vocal sample “Ich liebe Dich!”” :D

Miss Kittin & The Hacker are the Electro duo of Caroline Hervé and Michel Amato from Grenoble, France. The pair met during the early 90s at a rave and soon after bought turntables and began DJing. In 1996, their collaboration began, writing music heavily influenced by the 80s post punk bands Fad Gadget, DAF, Liaisons Dangeuresues, Yazoo as well as Italo Disco. Bored by the techno scene at the time, the pair set out to lighten the seriousness and add a camp sexiness. Upon hearing their demos DJ Hell signed them to his Munich-based International DJ Gigolo label and released their first 2 EPs in 1998 and 1999. Their debut album ”First Album" is released in 2001 and pioneers the electroclash movement of the early 2000’s. 

“Lost Tracks Vol. 1” contains 4 previously unreleased demos recorded between 1997 and 1999.  Distancing themselves from the hard techno produced in Europe at the time, the duo fused 80’s European New Wave/Italo Disco with 90’s Detroit Electro acts like Le Car and Dopplereffekt. Somewhat unorthodox, their sound has a song-like format, based on the verse-chorus pop schema of the 80s music they grew up listening to. Song arrangements are direct, spontaneous, seemingly unplanned, and mainly generated with some synths, a beat box and a microphone. Their studio set up at the time was a Korg MS-20, Roland SH-101, TR-606, TR-808, Siel DK80, and Boss DR-660 drum machine. Distinguished by Miss Kittin's French accented voice, full of derision, she sings about falling in love with an alien, sexy nightlife in Berlin and explicit S&M leather play.

All songs have been transferred from the original DAT tapes by the band and mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The vinyl comes housed in glossy jacket featuring a never seen before black and white photo of the duo taken in 1996. Each LP includes a postcard with liner notes from Miss Kittin and The Hacker designed by Eloise Leigh. As Miss Kittin says of these demos, “We were naive, innocent, adventurous and we didn’t expect anything in return”.

Lyrics:
Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker's new direction
Driving a car or 3 0 3
Giving you a piece of life and energy 
Somewhere in the universe for a novel
We try to analyze feelings
Thinking about you
Friends, mountains and party times
I wish you could see us
How we are, what we love and hate

This is what our music is about
You and us
This is what our music is about

Listen to Miss Kittin and the Hacker 
Our mind is real, on a cloud
When someone's playing us in a club at night
And we receive smiling on the dance floor
Trying to forget everything
We don't know you
But you are a part of ourselves 
And we can look into your eyes
Wherever you are

Because this is what our music is about
You and us
Cause that is what our music is about
You and us

Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker 
We take planes from hotels every weekend 
We drive on the highway to other places
Looking at the landscape running behind the window
We are all alone
Listen to something on the stereo

We would like to see skyline and city lights of New York 
Or Tokyo and then come back to the green fields we know
And do nothing and sleep
And do that again and again

Because this is what our music is about 
You and Us
This is what our music is about
You and us

Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker
Because this is what our music is about
You and us
You and us

This is what our music is about
You and us

Lyrics:
A new day, a new dream 
Waking up, but still sleeping 
All the time remembering
 Pictures of your 1000 dreams

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  Is it too exhausting 
To be in the wondering?
 Don't you know it will repeat
 Until you find the meaning?  

Again and again and again and again the same dream  

Another chance, take a break 
Face to face, big escape
 Rewind and sublime
 1000 dreams to reach the one

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  A new day, a new dream
 Waking up but still sleeping
 All the time remembering 
Pictures of your 1000 dreams

2009: Miss Kittin & The Hacker - 1000 Dreams: B1. "1000 Dreams (Original Mix)"

I-F Fuckin Consumer (DB69) released on Disko B Records

Info: 
In the Netherlands some neophile named I-f was fed up with the same old techno 'movement'. This in mind he added some fairly unorthodox dimensions to this gathering, forever changing its course. With primitive electronic equipment I-f transferred sounds from the 80s to the here and now. And by chance, he landed a hit. "Space Invaders are Smoking Grass" is I-f´s entry to Electro-anthem status. Like Funk never happened. 

This is family fodder for dance crazes, for lovers of 'alternative' music, for the whole scattered techno community, as well as for the homelistener who likes to smoke a cigar when hearing 'strange' sounds on the sofa. I-f´s versatile approach to music can't be measured with just this one track. His first full length album on Disko B records proves the point. Fucking Consumer is pretty strong stuff. Electro-nix pure and clear. No nice recycled retro package. It's out of it, sails in its own universe, because it doesn't rely on others.

The overall mood is well-tempered, it seems to be playing along some sound history. Next thing you know, Fucking Consumer is exploding into bursts of noise - what a pleasure. Track by track I-f demands the attention of the listener anew. The final countdown occurs in a little gothic interlude with G.D. from L.A.'s Christian Death delivering the vocals. This Record was the start of a series of records by I-f (I-F – The Man From P.A.C.K, 1999, The Parallax Corporation – Cocadisco in 2003). There were massive records following this pioneer advance and a first clash on electro was done long before Larry T was dreaming of creating electro-clash.


I-F - Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass

Legowelt - Sturmvogel

Disko B wurde 1991 von Peter Wacha aka Upstart als Sublabel des Independent Labels Sub Up Records (F.S.K., Die Goldenen Zitronen, etc.) gegründet; damals noch unter dem Namen "Disko Bombs“. In den 90er Jahren zählte Disko B mit international anerkannten Künstlern wie DJ Hell, Acid Scout, I-F oder Dakar & Grinser zu den weltweit renommiertesten Labels für elektronische Musik. Im Windschatten der Disko B Struktur entwickelten sich um das Jahr 2000 herum auch das Künstlerlabel Chicks On Speed Records sowie DJ Hells Gigolo Records. Mit dem Signing von Künstlern wie Stereo Total, Console, Electronicat oder Schlachthofbronx hat sich Disko B im Laufe der Nullerjahre zu einem eklektischen Label entwickelt, für das keinerlei Genregrenzen mehr gelten.
