Silicone Soul's Darkroom Dubs label has pulled off quite a coup with their latest release. Taking a retrospective look through the labels' archive, the duo approached some of their favourite producers, asking them to rework and give their own take some of the music from previous releases... and boy are we in for a treat!

The coup in question was the securing of the talents of a certain Mr Robag Wruhme. Currently enjoying the acclaim generated from his exquisite long player, "Thora Vukk" (Pampa), Wruhme has kindly turned his attention to remixing Extrawelt's "Neuland" for Darkroom Dubs. The lead track from their 2010 "Neuland" marked a key moment for the label, as Silicone Soul celebrated the signing of an act that they had admired for many years. Robag provides not one, but two reworks of the stunning original, each as impressive and moving as the other. 

The second rework sees John Selway turning Filippo Mancinelli & Allen May's "The Hills" on its head. The deepness of the 2009 original, is still in evidence as the atmospheric sounds sweep within Selway's wonderfully driving tech reconstruction. Impressive stuff indeed. More please!

Solvent is Jason Amm, a robot music composer, analog synthesizer fetishist, and co-founder of the reknowned Suction Records label. Born in Zimbabwe in 1972, Solvent currently resides in a room full of machines in Toronto, Canada.

Solvent has created his own unique version of electro-pop: too elegant and sincere for the electroclash set, too complex and contemporary to sound like it was recorded in 1981, and too seeped in the time-honoured traditions of melody, songwriting and hands-on synthesis to be lost in the overcrowded world of IDM.

Robag Wruhme in the mikks.. A podcast beyond house and techno for the lion-hearted amongst you! Enjoy.

VA Podcast 01 - Robag Wruhme's Börneböll Mikks

"We’d thought our last evening in Barcelona was going to be a musical blunder. The events throughout the city were less than appealing, and we were left wandering around aimlessly for a good portion of the evening; until we found our way by disregarding every lesson we ever learned as toddlers"

"Past 3am local time, our options were scant, so we walked down one of the most hostile corridors in all of Europe, Barcelona’s Las Ramblas, rampant with some of the most terrifying creatures of the night. A quick right down some grim alleyway, and there it was — Moog. From the outside, nothing more than rotting stucco, a small congregation of degenerates and random gypsies selling cans of beer. We paid the fare for entrance, descended into the seizure inciting strobes, and ultimately discovered an acid haven that any techno fan would have crowned king"

"If the world does in fact end today, I can sign off as a truly satisfied enthusiast of techno music"
