After the long-awaited debut by ComixXx („The Great Escape“) on Sonar Kollektiv, we get another stunning single release with „Broken Connection“. Sung by Pete Josef this is one of many standout tracks of the 14 piece strong oeuvre.

The first remix is by Berlin producer Maurycy Zimmermann aka Mooryc. And he snatches right into his bag of tricks to pull out a bagpipe for the intro fanfare, or a vinyl crackling to lend the song some subtle nostalgia. It remains his very own secret though, where the hell he got that female voice from, that suddenly duets with Josef out of the blue. Anyway, the beat drags pantingly along the piano turning the rather cheerful original composition in next to no time into a bittersweet ballad.

Kalipo takes things not much less melancholic. The native Bavarian residing now in Berlin and known as a member of the electropunk outfit Frittenbude doesn't slows down the pace but uses subtly sprinkled synth chords lifting Josef's vocals through the clouds. A remix made for the wee hours of the morning after the party full of heartache and longing.
The third and last remix is done by Aanbreken. He also puts his full concentration on the vocals and builds his framework of slightly broken beats and distorted synths around them. The arrangement is the fine art of “tease & denial”.

Anton Kubikov (guitar), Sergey Sapunov (bass), Korablove (keys, sampling)  and Ilya Shapovalov(drums)joined to form the instrumental band Raw Code , to the surprise of fans and critics. Away from the familiar ways of the straight base drum they explore one for techno protagonists supposedly foreign edge of the musical cosmos - full of exotic effect pedals, howling tape-delays and noise synths. The harder edged tunes send us back to krautrockish sounds a la Cologne's Can, while the more melancholic ones connect us to british psychedelic anthems of Pink Floyd's Sid Barret aera. But suddenly an acid solo or a modernly twisted sample will take us back to present times. Thus, Raw Code is a new, raw and rule-breaking musical experiment, which freely tries to de-chiffre the riddles of our mind.
