Old School Techno

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.

Flash Gordon meets Techno Remix

Originally released on my first album "Electric Ballroom" in 1998 (now deleted, re-release is planned) this track became quite famous for sampling "Kaw Liga" by "The Residents" (no - it's not M.J's Billie Jean) and Madonna (which hardly anyone ever noticed, btw). There was also a vinyl bootleg that is extremely rare this days...

As we put the finishing touches on Expansion Pack II, our most successful release ever returns to Soundcloud in its original glory. Stay tuned for news on the release of the long-awaited follow-up, this time compiled by Jesse Kuch.

ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE
Open Records are proud to present our long awaited third CD compilation Expansion Pack, compiled by label boss and pioneering force in the Australian underground dance music culture, Ian Woodman.

Anyone who knows the man himself, knows that Woodsman doesn’t do anything in halves. So when it came to the task of putting together his own compilation at the start of the year, one disc alone was never going to cut it.

After months in the lab, he is finally ready to give us Expansion Pack, a 2-disc collection of deep, intelligent, genre-mashing dance music, held together with Ian’s distinctly staunch, epic sound that has earned him the title of one of Australia’s favourite open-air DJs.

From international heavyweights like Matador, Erphun, Boris Brejcha, Pow-Low, Fiord, SQL, NDSA, Weekend Heroes, Perfect Stranger, Astronivo, Sheff, MUTe, Grouch and A. Balter, through to home grown Aussie favourites like SunControlSpecies, Sensient, One Tasty Morsel, Waltone, Blinky, Def Digital and Algenon, the music of Expansion Pack sits at the point where techno, progressive and minimal meet and is proof that quantity and quality can co-exist without compromise.

Representing a significant step forward for Open Records on the international stage, Expansion Pack is one of the “must buy” CD releases of 2010, for both the DJ or listener alike.

Anthony Rother - Catharsis

The oldest track I have uploaded so far. I recorded "Schall" back in 1995...I stopped playing it (the original version) a long time ago but last weekend I did play it again and to my amusement and utter disbelieve - it went down in a storm. Nice one. So I thought some of you might like to find it it here...
PS: The vocal is sampled from "Adonis - Acid Pokin'" and I have no idea what it says!
