PIECES OF A PENSIVE STATE OF MIND - Crossin' The Madmoon EP  (Phoq U Phonogrammen - Ph.U.4)
Our final release to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Frank de Groodt’s career is his first and only release on Phoq U Phonogrammen, the U-TRAX sublabel-that-doesn't-give-a-damn. The minimal, yet drum-heavy techno stompers on this EP have been remastered for downloading and streaming. A limited amount of the original vinyl copies are also available again.

At the time when he created these pieces, Frank lived just outside the city of Amersfoort, which is where he was born and lives again these days, some 30 minutes northwest of Utrecht. His first ever release in January 1994 was a techno EP on U-TRAX. Later that year, he released his first 12”-es on Djax records as The Optic Crux, and he continued to keep making up artists names in the following 25 years, like Fastgraph and The Operator. He is also one half of the live outfit Random XS, collaborated with Arno Peeters (a.k.a. Spasms) as Urban Electro and with Detroit’s Dennis Richardson as Ultradyne. One of his most prolific and successful releases was his Sonar Bases 4 - 10 double 12”on U-TRAX, as Sonar Base.

The four tracks on this EP are much like Frank’s other work, that is: dark, minimal and - very often - quite funky too. 
Don't look for the funk too much on this release though: a track like Crossin' the Madmoon can easily be described as menacing. 
While the entire EP is penetrated with this dark, minimal and industrial approach, Draxin’ is pumped up with energy. 
Simple Motion was a favorite with quite a few DJs back in the days to start their set with, because the bassdrum suddenly gets twice as fat at the 1:20 mark. Imagine the people screaming on the dance floor! 
In Between closes off this release with some bubbly bleeps and beats and a slightly desolate atmosphere.
To sum it up: more than 30 minutes of tight 909 rhythms that definitely will rock da floor. 

Original release date: August 1996.
Available again on original vinyl and in digital form for downloading and streaming: March 29, 2019.

Programming The Source represents the parallelism and the different distance that can exist between the pieces that make up the same work. On the one hand, a pattern of closeness can be identified by the sound similarity of the tracks, since Translate has opted for the homogeneity of the sci-fi sound, with its so characteristic musical phrases of high tessitura. But within this uniform and easily recognizable sound, the Argentine producer has been able to adopt a different personality with each track to separate them as much as possible within the same universe.

This album meets all the requirements to be part of Subsist record inventory, both for its musical orientation and for the extension of its format. The cosmic techno of this release admits quite different interpretations, in its 19 tracks its author offers energetic ranges that oscillate between rawness or forcefulness, and between a more peaceful and transitory style.

Eric Fetcher - Arabast

T99, aka Belgian techno duo Patrick de Meyer and Olivier Abbeloos, haunted the raving dancefloors of the early 90’s techno scene and gained interminable notoriety following the release of
their hit track ‘Anasthasia’ in 1991. Floating between hardcore and ambient techno, their unique sound still resonates at the core of the modern rave scene and the undying essence of the supreme rave anthem that is ‘Anasthasia’ still lives on.
Two decades on, tenacious techno figurehead Jerome Delfosse aka Cri Du Coeur has popularised his new alias and Arkham Audio label boasting the ultimate electrifying sound. It comes as no surprise that these 90s music legends have come together to bring us the sweet nectar of old-school rave infused with the voguish touch of modern techno with this ‘T99 - Anasthasia Remixes’ compilation on Arkham Audio including remixes of the original anthem by Dave Clarke, Chris Liebing, Coyu, Truncate, JoeFarr, Secret Cinema, Oliver Deutschmann, Madben, CYRK, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Cri Du Coeur, Exterminador, and H! Dude.
Starting us off is Dave Clarke whose take on the original mix infects the soul with exotic drum patterns and hair-raising breaks. Chris Liebing leads us into extraterrestrial territory with hazy baselines, futuristic melodies and endless space echoes taking central focus. Suspense looms as Coyu breaks into the scene with a glitching distortion of the original melody and a racing deep-techno baseline. Truncate takes the pedal off the metal on our hardcore techno journey and steers us into a buoyant tribal moment with a frenzy of tropical rhythms. JoeFarr pushes the track into powerful immortal oblivion with an overload of lightning bolt melodies and throbbing baselines. Layers of dance-inducing effervescent rhythms take control in Secret Cinema’s remix, while Deutschmann brings his potent big room dancefloor sound to the fore with the infusion of raunchy hi-hat rhythms. Madben strips the track bare in the first half of his remix, letting the reverberating melody unwind itself slowly before slamming us back into up-tempo madness. The CYRK remix boasts an electrifying melody surrounded by an expansive celestial soundscape and hazy vocals, followed by D.A.V.E. The Drummer who stays true to his name with a remix that packs in an extravagant selection of percussive patterns. Arkham label head Cri Du Couer opens up his remix with an ear-tickling hi-hat rhythm that expands into a rage of animalistic screeches as the original melody echoes in the distant background. Exterminador introduces us to his enigmatic Eurodance soundscape with twangy cosmic sounds and a mysterious serpentine base melody. Last but not least, H! Dude’s remix rounds off the compilation with an intoxicating brew of psychedelic melodies and clapping rhythms.
Arkham Audio has brought together the most perfect lineup of long-standing techno overlords to deliver the ‘T99 - Anasthasia Remixes’ compilation, bringing us back to the euphoric nostalgia of the iconic rave scene while tickling the palette with a thrashing selection of modernistic remixes. Listeners can look forward to the upcoming release of sneak peek audio clips and the full compilation digital release on December 11th via Arkham Audio!
