Artist: Mind Against
Title: Atlant EP
Label: Life and Death
Catalogue: LAD012
Format: Digital and Vinyl

Release Date: Jul 29th 2013
All Tracks Written by: Alessandro Fognini and Federico Fognini
All Rights Reserved Life and Death 2013

Berlin based, Italian born, Alessandro and Federico Fognini are not just brothers in arms but actual brothers who have been growing up together their whole lives. Which might help explain why these 2 recent arrivals on the scene have already established a sound much more mature than their years might suggest.

It's this intense maturity that they bring to this debut EP. With a sonic depth acquired by many hours already logged in the studio and a sophisticated world view that comes across in the stories their music tells, Mind Against (as they are more formally known) make pictures with their sound and their pictures tell more than thousands of words could tell alone.

On their Atlant EP they paint us a picture of lost civilizations and intergalactic missionaries. Transdimensional creatures that visit us in our dreams and in our visions, bringing us coded messages about the future from a place beyond time. Where everything can be reduced to vibrations and controlling sound waves is akin to controlling a physical reality. With a throbbing beat and epic melodies they build towers of steel and halls of philospher's stone. Places of thought and worship where futurstic sounds hold court with swinging percussive beats, telling us tales of how we can work together to overcome the challenges of our immediate circumstances and reunite the illusions of our separate selves once again into a whole being. A whole and complete universal concsiousness with a deeper understanding of its true self.

This one is my latest remix for Traum, of a track by Microtrauma coming out at the start of March. I loved the eerie vocals and groove on some hi-end drums from the original, so I took those and built a new chord arrangement over them, sticking to a simple understated feel throughout....it's supposed to be a quite relaxed track basically, I must be getting old!

Ron Flatter has recently recored his debut for Traum and delivers here a bass heavy techno monster with his remix of "Cortex". The relentlessly bouncing bassline, the nice ups and downs, and the short but intense peaks, create a DJ friendly stop and go rhythmic, making it a DJ weapon altogether. Looking forward to hear they track being played out.

Microtrauma - Cortex (Ron Flatter Remix) // Traum Schallplatten

"Inter Aural" is the epic builder for this EP. Their Fx treatments and plenty of teasing climaxes... spitting out futuristic and alienated synth pads… embedding them in soundscapes with a very cinematic sound design: This all makes it a powerful piece of hypnotic music and definitely a highlight on this EP. Other than that it is simply a perfect track to loose yourself in… it offers a highly seductive "comfort zone" of tasty sounds. This is a track you can dance to in the clubs as well as listen at home.

Microtrauma - Inter Aural (Original Mix) // Traum Schallplatten

Having just returned from Gottwood festival, the duo has completed their newest meticulous crafted recording for Traum. It has been a whole year since their last release on Traum, with a lot of touring to remote parts of the world and building up their new studio, so we expect people to be looking forward to their newest invention. Microtrauma have been a Traum label stalwart since March 2011 with their "Colorblind EP" and the "Olivenkernkomplex EP" maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors and even adds some new striking perspectives.

"Olivia" starts rather simplistic as a dramatic tale and evokes images of early Plastikman trax. Its machine nature in the course of the track swells with organic respiration and makes it a sensuous piece of music that never boils over but simmers on the surface creating a kinetic catchiness par excellence. This is not only a great opener of the track but a very fine blend of stripped rhythms and synth pads. Microtrauma’s strength is the fine balance they create through the knowledge of playing live for years now. Like so many of their tracks in the past also this track has cosmic energy going.

Microtrauma - Olivia (Original Mix) // Traum Schallplatten

Track two features "Olivia" in a remix version by Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile. The Argentinean electronic music ambassador who is a legend in his time, having being voted to to one of the best DJs in the world by DJ mixmag many years in the row and who is named in the same breath as John Digweed, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, Henry Saiz and Nick Warren has been a strong supporter of Applescal and Microtrauma from the start and has recorded together with Soundexile this remix of "Olivia". Their interpretation of Olivia has lead to an epic symphony for the senses, changing keys and synth pads with great knowledge for a perfect flow. Creating a perfect balance between beat and melody. Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile have written a strong remix which will make a lot of people happy and put a smile on their faces.

Microtrauma - Olivia (Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile Remix) // Traum Schallplatten

"Cortex" pumps liquid grooves and triggers tiny melodies. Fantastic "stop and go" rhythms are taking place here... synth pads and sub-bass pressure are the matrix of the track... leading it into an exceptional deep and electrifying break. This is a breathtaking break you will very rarely come across… it can connect to the best moments of Klaus Schulze. A goose skin track and a a big one for all people who like to explore the in betweens and the new face of melodic techno.

“Diffusion” is soulful as well, maybe more linear and even more ghostly and haunting, spiced up with electronic sounding basslines, filtered voices from the distance, heavy delays and a pounding techno beat.

The smiles, the sunburn, the sounds, the sky and the clouds. The strangers, the friends, and the foreigners. The driving, the dancing, the laughing, and the falling over in the dark. The campsite envy, the forgetting of socks, the lack of ice and surplus of dirt. These are the things which will define the greatest weekend of your life. There will be no rules, save that you respect one another and yourself. There will be no walls, only patchwork fences that do little to shut out the beauty of the surrounding Australian bush. For three days you will live with thousands of strangers, encountering the limits of human sight and sound and surpassing them, making new friends, losing your sanity, finding it again and experiencing all that life has to offer. Welcome to paradise. Welcome to the wild world of Strawberry Fields.

Mind Against Boiler Room Berlin DJ Set

Vertere - Mind Against & Somne

Constantly turning around itself, the winding melody of Vertere turns outward and inward at the same time, bringing the listener on a journey outward while mirroring a simultaneous labyrinthine journey inward. Like the word itself, Vertere, with its roots in the Latin word Verto (which itself takes its roots in the earlier Sanskrit word, Vartayati) it signifies the very nature of change itself. It means both to turn and reflect inward and yet also move forward — a call to action for setting in motion new things. A paradox at first glance but also perhaps a surprisingly accurate description of the destructive and reconstructive nature of creation. An apt metaphor for this bright new collaboration between established Life and Death artists Mind Against and the new artist project of Federico Maccherone, aka Somne.

On remix duties, when you have an artist of the caliber of Tobias Freund, you don’t need to ask for anything more and with his outstanding remix of Vertere he very clearly shows why. This long time mainstay of the electronic music scene has managed to stay not just relevant but on the cutting edge longer than most with respected releases on some of the most seminal imprints to be putting out music in the world of underground dance music. With Vertere he takes what’s already top quality material and somehow manages to turn it inward and in his own unique way elevate it to another level entirely. With a relentless beat and a sonic force that is hard to describe with mere words the Tobias. remix of Vertere comes out of the gate like a runaway machine rapturously drunk on its own self awareness. It marches ever forward, full of fervor, and will surely be driving dance floors both large and small to the euphoric edge of the ecstatic state.

In 1995 simple tracker software got the interest of the two friends Daniel and Ricardo. Thus, they decided to produce a few tracks.
Both shared a common passion for all sorts of different musical styles, which made their early productions very diverse.
Through the many influences of artists from New Order and Depeche Mode to Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Moby and the various techno disciples
of this multi-faceted time, the two of them produced everything they enjoy, be it trip hop, electronica, breaks or techno.

However, in 1999 the two of them went separate ways for reasons of diverging careers.
They quickly lost touch to each other until the contact ceased completely. Yet, the two of them still wished to produce music.
This is why both of them kept working with synthesizers, music software and studio technology creating their own tracks.

In 2003, it was coincidence that brought them back together.
The two friends met again at a small local electro party and soon realised that they still shared the same interest for electronic music as they had four years earlier.
After a few sessions in their domestic living room studios they decided to make more of their hobby and, thus, started renting their first studio in 2005.
Microtrauma was born.

In 2007, Microtrauma had its first release “Wake up“ on the Elected Tunes label. Their first own release “Collar EP” soon was to follow.
Microtrauma has developed its own style from almost ten years of working and tinkering as well as its many influences: melodic, dark, technoid and minimal.
