“How do things come to life? How does meaning appear?” These are questions that have informed Lifestream, the 2019 release by German composer, electronic producer, and classically trained pianist @johannes-motschmann. Conceived as a narrative arc, the album reflected the natural cycle of all things – from birth to death. Meticulously composed and gloriously realised, it succeeded in bringing such overarching concepts to life in rich, vivid ways. A year on, the German musician has invited friends and collaborators to breathe even more life into Lifestream for a new remix EP.

English techno pioneer, @luke-slater and German Berghain veteran, @chris-liebing both chose to remix the title track of Motschmann’s album taking the original tune into their own clubby spheres. Slater, who is a household name in the Brit-techno since the early 90s gave his version of Lifestream an insistent beat under which echoes of piano and other fragments of Motschmann’s track can be heard nostalgically. Liebing, who is a driving force in the German electronic music world with his ever- innovative approach, took the track into a deep and dark world of his own.

“What fascinated me most about Luke and Chris’ remixes was that they both developed the music and its underlying traces in very different ways, so what are actually secondary voices in my track suddenly came to the fore, and the main voices recede,” observes Motschmann of the two reworks. “It's like a development into worlds of sound in which my music might otherwise never appear - As DJs, Luke and Chris take a different outlook on music making than I do, with my often very theoretical approach. The remixes have given me the opportunity of a new perspective: the composer becomes an astonished listener of his own melodies because they unexpectedly appear in a different context.”

Chris Liebing is DJ, producer, radio host and the driving force behind the labels CLR and Spinclub Recordings. His sound has continuously evolved during his DJ career, always true to his techno roots. Although his contributions to the field have already firmly established him as one of the field’s great names, Liebing continues to innovate in the DJ booth with a setup more befitting a teenage computer game obsessive as well as releasing new material time and again. He’s known for playing hard, bouncy techno that is inspired by philosophy; always-deep tracks that range from looming apocalyptic landscapes filled with a sense of dread, to more optimistic emotional meditations.

DJ Jock makes his second appearance on phobiq and guise you three perfect productions for his latest creation, “The Binding of Fenrir”. The title track is first up and begins with groovy inspired drum work and some deep dark sounds while rolling synths take control and push the momentum even further. Things get serious on “Catacombs” with pumping pads and persistent percussion creating a mysterious dark energy. Last but not least we are introduced to “Ravaged Fields” and take a ride through rolling snares, huge bass and apocalyptic synths giving it a more “heads down” approach, yet keeping the groove steady.

Chain Two is the second remix compilation on the label New Port Records. Together with artists such as Jan Ritter, Monova, Jan Fleck, Red Rooms, Copilco, Robin Decker and Raphael Hofman, we have generated something new again from already released tracks. We all share the same love for technoid, bass-heavy music. Everything is connected and has a meaning, even if this sense is often hidden, we know that we are close to our true mission when our actions are imbued with the energy, the driving tones, the oppressive bass and the enthusiasm. So we forged an interlocking chain of synthesizer, drums, pads, claps and leads to create something new, tangible. And so we would like to pass on the one to the other and to celebrate the sense of community and cohesion.

We welcome back on Remain, label boss Axel Karakasis with a storming three tracker EP to celebrate the and of the year with style. Chopping Purposes EP featuring three proper rave bombs with relentless energy. Title track has a drilling, darkened bassline and punchy kicks that waste no time in setting the mood. The second track called 'Tags' is a more dark and atmospheric track tha travels you into a beautiful journey that will create unforgettable moments on the dance-floors. To seal the deal Axel serving us 'Affiliation' a typical Axel Karakasis techno tune with powerful percussion and melodic basslines. All tracks have been played and tested many times to great reactions!
