It’s hard to overstate the importance of ‘The Final Frontier’ in shaping modern electronic music. First released in 1992 by the unapologetically political Detroit collective, Underground Resistance, it remains an essential classic in the story of Techno. Underground Resistance’s stated objective was to “[electrify] the inner city with hi-tech, sci-fi thoughts and dreams”; to offer working-class Black Americans, through music, a vision of a bright future through community action. Final Frontier was the first of many tracks which underlined this mission in bold type.

The great Afrofuturist tradition of imagining Black emancipation through space travel is upfront; both in the Star Trek-referencing title, as well as in the music itself, which sounds like the perfect re-scoring to the “Stargate” scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now, nearly 30 years after it was first unleashed, there is not a serious techno fan who does not consider this to belong on the highest echelon of electronic music’s Pantheon.

PREMIERE : Sync 24 - Spatial Racing [CE040]

Artist: Avilynn
Title: Five Million Sunsets EP
Label: Taisha Records
Catalogue No: TAI002
Release Date: 15th December 2021
Format: Vinyl, Digital

Berlin’s Avilynn delivers the ‘Five Million Sunsets’ EP this December, accompanied by a remix from Ostgut Ton’s Answer Code Request.

As a follow-up to the debut EP on Taisha entitled Anaesthesia, Avilynn is back with another dynamic four track EP in the shape of ‘Five Million Sunsets’. Once again showcasing Avilynn’s diverse production style across three originals, while Techno titan Answer Code Request turns in an interpretation employing his typically twisted and intricate style.

‘Why So Serious’ opens the project and focuses on dynamically evolving and unfurling drums, plucked synths and modulating percussion while expansive reverberations and nuanced echoes further instil dynamism throughout. Answer Code Request steps up next, shifting the focus to an industrial feel aesthetically,
twisting elements of the original’s synthesis and high-octane drums into an ominous, subtly unfolding take on things.

Opening the flip-side is title-cut ‘Five Million Sunsets’ which sees Avilynn explore a more textural landscape, dropping the tempo significantly and introducing circling dub chords, earthy sub tones and menacing bass swells throughout. Last up to round out the release is ‘Your Eye Was Bigger Than The Other One’, here Avilynn focuses her musical theme around “a trippy experience where the person has a distorted reality’’, the composition laid out across three and a half minutes melds together choppy broken drums, eerie tones and bubbling synths alongside gritty distorted moments and metallic chimes.

Track List:
1. Why So Serious
2. Why So Serious (Answer Code Request Remix)
3. Five Million Sunsets
4. Your Eye Was Bigger Than The Other One

On this double pack he presents a collection of tracks that were made between 2010 and 2020. These tracks never seemed to fit the more conceptual records DF put out, but they have been regular outfits in his DJ sets and always pleased dancefloors around the globe. A true honor for both the label and artist to finally team up and release some of the most playful house and techno cuts Delta Funktionen has produced over the years!
