from the album Mark Reeder “Collaborator” 

This song is probably the most important track of my life. I actually produced the rough instrumental part around 1997, it was the first track I had ever properly finished. At that time, I had no idea about music production, just my experiences from dj-ing and about how club music should sound. 
Making this track, I was looking for an atmosphere I wanted it to sound like “being lost in an endless space” kind of melancholic, infinite, desire.
I was dj-ing a lot around that time and organizing parties in southern Czech Republic together with DJ Michael Burian. He introduced me to dj-ing with turntables. To expand our peripheries, we started to promote our own events. We invited interesting djs and artists, and discovered a new dimension of dj-ing and everything to do with party/event promotion. 
My music was influenced at that time deeply by berlin’s club sound, especially the records from MFS. 
MFS, (Masterminded For Success) was founded by Mark Reeder in 1990, who used the infrastructure of the former East German state run record label AMIGA which was part of  “Deutsche Schallplatten” to build his own dream of an independent label project in the heart of Europe. His real wish for the label was to support young, Eastern European artists and provide them with a platform.
No one less as an Eastie kid, than Paul van Dyk grew up from his hands. Mark discovered Paul and supported him and released his first hit “for an angel” (1994) as part of the 45RPM album. He also released tracks by Cosmic Baby, Neutron9000, Marco Zafferano or Mijk van Dijk, Ellen Allien or Johnny Klimek, just to name the few who created music with Mark at that time. Nice Trance and Techno projects. We invited some of them to play at our parties, and learnt a lot of simple but great things from them. Finally, we became inspired enough to take that crucial step forward in the direction of producing and making our own music too.

I sent my tracks to Mark and the sound caught his attention. He invited me later to work with him, after I moved to Berlin in 1998. It was a time of great upheaval for the label.  Paul van Dyk had just left MFS. The world stage tempted him away, as he wanted to be a bigger, brighter star. 

Mark was interested in starting something fresh and new. I started to put my own creativeness into Mark’s MFS project, as best I could.  Mark took me under his wing and guided me along a path by introducing me to many things, he gave me ideas, inspiration and nurtured my own sound and style and we saw things eye to eye on many levels. We had lots of fun producing our ideas as singles, albums, tracks, dj compilations or just creating art and artworks. We organized bookings, events and played all over the world. It was full on, full time, all the time and more…
One day, a good friend of Mark’s from early Joy Division days, Bernard Sumner (the singer of New Order) sent him his recorded vocals for a track, which Mark called Crystal. Bernard wanted to support to his old friend during this difficult time and help him after van Dyk had jumped ship. 
Mark gave me the fantastic vocal parts and once home, just for fun, I loaded them over the memories track. I was totally perplexed when I heard the results. It was like a big kick up the ass, they sounded just perfect for each other. I immediately played it to mark and he agreed. We couldn’t believe it. They matched as if made for each other.
With Marks perfect English, we tweaked the track and edited the vocals to fit perfectly over it and we finished it for a demo (this is the version you can now hear on Collaborator). I think it was a song perfect for a sunny, late summers day.

Mark sent the mix to Bernard and he loved it. Unfortunately, Bernard sent it to the New Order A&R at London Records - Pete Tong. A few days later Mark got a desperate call from Tong, who told him, “you can’t release this track! it is the best New Order track since Blue Monday!” and he begged Mark to persuade Bernard to record it as a New Order track instead. The only problem there though, was that New Order hadn’t spoken to each other for three years and had virtually stopped working together and had all but broken up. Difficult? Mark replied that Bernard had actually recorded the song for him and had given it to him as a gift. But Tong whined and moaned and eventually, Mark spoke to Bernard and New Order were tentatively reformed. Mark even suggested that Mark Stent should produce the New Order version too. But then there was another problem, what to do with the MFS mixes? Mark reluctantly agreed with Tong to wait until the New Order releases were out before releasing it on MFS, but Tong was determined that my first demo shouldn’t be released at all and pleaded for us not to release it, as he described it, it was “a shabby little demo and the song deserves better”. Mark kindly complied. So it was never finished and never released.

Mark and I worked almost 10 years together (1998-2008) on the MFS label, designing and producing and we even started a new label called FLESH, especially for my own style of music that we created, which we called Wet&Hard. During this time, Mark supported and managed my career and we travelled the globe. Through Mark, I also got the opportunity to remix New Order, but also other artists like Faithless, Destiny’s Child, Blank & Jones, Da Hool or Shannon, to name but a few (my full discography is available on my homepage http://corvin-dalek.com).

Finally, we finished MFS/FLESH in 2007 and split to go our own separate ways and work on our own projects. Mark - in the meantime – has made a name for himself with his classic style of 80’s sounding synth-pop-disco-electro and produces it today with his partner Michael Adam, in a retro-modern, but very interesting way. 
Recently, he’s remixed tracks by Depeche Mode, The Pet Shop Boys, Anne Clark, Die Toten Hosen or Westbam and released them in 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound, on a monumental remix album Five Point One.

Corvin Dalek & Mark Reeder w. Bernard Sumner – Crystal (Original first demo version)

Throughout human history and across most native traditions, constant repetitive rhythms and the steady drone of chanting have carried shamans and other spiritual seekers into other dimensions in ecstatic trance. Even today, this music, as ancient as the rocks and wind, provides sacred transport to higher states of well being and bliss. Attaining the Shante Ishta is the goal of this journey. This is the “single eye of the heart," the third eye or wisdom eye of the ancients--the shaman's eye. It is the place where the individual soul attunes to the collective, universal heartbeat that unites us all.

Shaman's Eye brims with multi-layered currents of sound and chanting woven around a steady stream of theta rhythms. These provocative rhythms are designed to tap into our own ancestral depths and call us into the secret worlds of trance. Each of these musical landscapes is alive with its own distinctive spirit energy. As they carry us forward they become the vehicle for our journeys.

In the true spirit of musical alchemy, Amani Friend blends his technical skills with his innate understanding of the power of sound and vibration to heal and transform. With deep reverence, he weaves the strands of pan-global percussive and melodic expressions, sacred chants, and the atmospheres of nature around the steady heartbeat of trance to inspire inner journeys.

Rampa - Potty
Release date: 30/03/2015

Saved Records welcome Berlin based producer Rampa onto the label with the quietly beguiling yet wildly rhythmical “Potty.” The Keinemusik honcho is never one to follow trends and he delivers a wonderfully unique and bewitching Saved debut.

A slowly evolving track, “Potty” keeps much of its tension and drama enveloped in its mechanical rhythms, only revealing its full extent in the latter moments of the track. The complex rhythm structures are ever present, driven by a marching, scuffed beat that struts throughout the entire track and supported by jangling kitchen sink percussion, skipping kicks and shuffling drums. Subtle melodies and lush, rolling basslines occasionally wash over the top as stretched pads inject that palpable tension. “Potty” is full of tight energy and muscle but it is a nuanced sense of power that grabs your attention cerebrally rather than forcing you into submission. A deft production that shrouds you in a fever without ever letting you know its intentions, “Potty” is in a mold totally of its own.

She's Lost Control   (Joy Division)

I've been meaning to delve into Nick Cave for a while, but when I heard this I knew the time had come, and it gave me a chance to have another go on my new guitar.
This is the title track from his latest album.

the originality of a genius in art and knowledge consists therein, to mastermind his attention to ignored aspects of the reality, realize hidden coherences and push them into the light, that others can see it too. its a communication beyond the spoken words, where the artist takes the inspirations from the questions and answering it in his artistic expressions. technical virtuosity is completely different thing as creative originality. we try to develop the challenges in all of our projects with both of the aspects strongly as possible
