Wretched Cuts is the new solo EP by gender-nonconforming techno artist, Projekt Gestalten. The release comes via the New York’s Mild Fantasy imprint run by DJ Elle Dee and features three original themes focusing on introspective techno plus a remix by veteran, The Lady Machine.   

The project reflects an array of themes using as the starting point the story of Estamira and the Brazilian documentary of the same name, telling her life story. Estamira was an incredibly enlightened older woman who scattered one of the largest landfills of Rio de Janeiro for food. Not because she had to, but because she loved that place as she loved “her own children” and enjoyed making a living out of other people’s disposable goods. Simultaneously, while dealing with schizophrenia and abuse, she believed she was a superior spiritual being whose magical powers could control time, space, and other elements of nature. 

The tracks are inspired by some of her most memorable quotes and moments that made an impact on Projekt Gestalten. “Wise People In Reverse” goes into a darker approach and samples Estamira’s voice talking in a mysterious unknown language with an unrevealed force, using only a broken piece of a telephone that she had just found it in the trash. “Morte Macaca” takes a rhythmic approach towards dub techno, and “Holographic Principle” gets trippier and hallucinogenic with Projekt Gestalten’s signature acid lines. The Lady Machine’s “Wise People In Reverse” remix takes the original theme to a driving, peak hour approach and transforms it into an effective DJ tool. 

“There are no more innocent people on Earth, only wise people in reverse”.

Projekt Gestalten’s “Wretched Cuts EP” drops on November 13th 2020 on digital and on a limited pink colored vinyl edition.

Mild Fantasy is a new label from New York and its owner Elle Dee inaugurated the first EP with original tracks and collaborations with False Witness.

With an ear for darker sounds, the newest release is from Bazilian Projekt Gestalten who has released music on voxnox, KONFLKT and Advanced (Black), but is also a resident at Berlin’s Pornceptual club nights that has seen guests such as DVS1 and Freddy K.

The Lady Machine runs the up and coming Unterwegs imprint alongside Decka and for this DT:Premiere we selected her remix of “Wise People In Reverse” that has an industrial edge and stomping beat. Modular sparks and stabbing chords are met with deep metallic hits and an overall menacing feel that has been crafted for delivering dance floor devastation.
