LUZ1E – Draw The Line

Gimme A Break delve into new sonic territories through the first release on their sub-label Aspect, an outlet for Electro, Prog House, Trance and Techno. ASPCT001 sees Berlin-based LUZ1E navigate mental health and healing at the sonic intersection of Detroit, Chicago, New York and the UK. With previous releases on Voitax, International Chrome and Mechatronica, LUZ1E’s “Cerulean” EP cements her place as a pioneer of Electro retrofuturism. 

“Cerulean” takes its inspiration from the very hue that has ingrained itself as one of the symbolic images of LUZ1E’s work – a particular nuance of blue. It emanates a synchrony of sentiments: clarity, optimism, and calm, juxtaposed against the backdrop of detachment and despair that accompanied the artist throughout the past year.

Manifested in a dichotomy, the Ultramarine A-Side delves into the labyrinth of one's own mental health. It casts a luminescence upon a profound struggle marked by inner discord, turmoil, and the swift currents of overwhelm and emotional detachment. The tracks' fast pace and sombre energy pick up on this, translating phases of introspection and intense inner conflict into a sonorous narrative.

The Cerulean B-Side breathes the ambiance of a crystalline winter day, bathed in ease and tranquillity, constructing a bridge to an inward journey where in a quiet and soft space healing can take place. The tracks, suffused with both hope and melancholy, radiate a sense of peace, calm, and lucidity, contrasting the tumultuous phases of ebb and flow and the sensation of feeling lost. What persists is a mere feeling of peace with the perpetual motion of life itself.

@l-v-z-1-e

Eclecticism is the keyword when it comes to the musical taste of LUZ1E. Mostly known for her spirited and soulful New York House she has made herself a name in the realms of fast paced breaks and Techno. Either way, LUZ1E brings together everything that has that certain punchy power to it. 
Born and raised in Frankfurt am Main she started to get into electronic music at age 16 when her brother introduced her to early Chicago and New York House with the likes of Kerri Chandler, Larry Heard and Co. It didn't take her long to travel a couple of miles west where she discovered the diversity of Detroit's electronic music culture with sonic influences from Drexciya, Robert Hood, Octave One and others. 
She values authenticity and integrity which translates into her taste in music as well. Knowing where the music comes from and acknowledging its roots is a key approach in discovering and selecting her music. That's why her sets build a bridge between classic tunes and new sounds combining them into a notion of futuretroism.

PREMIERE: Sergey Timoshov - Ur-38 365 (Hypnotic Connection)

German-based @l-v-z-1-e debuted her brand-new alias DJ TABLEDANCE for the very first time at Berlin collective @warningberlin’s FOLD takeover last November. Having long been associated with an eclectic array of soulful house, punch-drunk breaks, and rapid techno her new moniker was an innovative opportunity for her to showcase original material and sounds alongside the affiliated label. Diverging from her regular tendencies, DJ TABLEDANCE set out to explore a sonic territory more indebted to the acutely candid tone of electro, techno, and acid. 

Marrying both aliases together has been a natural accomplishment, co-existing like a diplomatic Jekyll and Hyde of musical tastes. With a highly demanded repress on Warning’s imprint as LUZ1E dropping soon, this thunderous mix from her FOLD appearance teases the very best parts of her split personality as DJ TABLEDANCE.

If you’re currently lucky to be in a position to spare some funds, please consider making a charitable donation in your community to help support individuals and organizations impacted by the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak.

Should you still have any additional good fortune left, we have put together a second Aid EP, to help support the artists in our community and on our label, currently under financial pressure due to the massive amount of DJ gig and live set cancellations within our scene - and to keep the lights on in our collective, which is heavily dependent on income from event production.

The Aid EP II additionally enables us to provide a bit of work for our mastering engineer, also a DJ and producer, financially impacted by event cancellations.

All sales will be split 50/50 between the artists and ourselves, after production costs have been recouped.

Stay healthy out there - and if you have the means, we encourage you to find ways to reach out and support those affected in your local communities.

In case you missed it, here is the first Aid EP from April 2020: mechatronica.bandcamp.com/album/aid-ep

Altered States avec LUZ1E & Lawrence Lee - 25 Novembre 2020

"Looks like you're all on the nasty list as Santa Chomes has brought a surprise Christmas present: International Chromies Vol. 6!

For the last International Chrome release of this insane year we have an insane line-up of tracks and edits from some of our friends who happen to also be our favourite artists:

Jensen Interceptor
False Persona
Luz1e
Shcuro
Selfhood
5ZYL & 666uba

We've been blown away by the response to this series, and together we've raised over €3,000 for great causes. 

This time around we're giving ultimate respect to the originators, with 100% of funds raised going to the Underground Music Academy in Detroit (https://ioby.org/project/underground-music-academy). 

It shouldn't need saying but without Motown, Underground Resistance and so many more from the city of Detroit, music history would be immeasurably different, and so we can't think of a better way of paying back than by helping the next generation of Detroit's musicians. We can't wait to find out what comes out of the academy. 

Hopefully 2021 will see us all able to get together and enjoy music together but until then, take care, stay safe & happy holidays"
