"KRASZ" (Recognition CD008)

Over the course of few months of late 2020 / early 2021 Jacek Sienkiewicz composed and recorded music for “Krasz” - a spectacle inspired by J.G. Ballard’s “Crash” and directed by Natalia Korczakowska for Warsaw’s Teatr Studio. At the time of the show’s premiere, only a small portion of these recordings was finally used. This record documents the original concept - consisting of some of the final versions of the soundtrack tracks as well as some tunes that have never made it.

The psychedelic legends met up during the summer of 2019 and played around with modular recordings. After a few productive sessions the deep techno dj tool was ready. Carl Finlow turned the song into an electro banger whilst Ness takes listeners to a darker realm. Finally, Jack Sienkiewicz explores more liquid acid minimal techno dreamy landscapes with an irresistible hypnotic groove."

Alex Tolstey telling the story of the tune:
“During summer 2019 i was in Berlin visiting my childhood friend Konstantin Gervis (Gervis/ZV_K) who is working for Tip Top Audio synth company, for a whole week i was joining him in his studio checking new tip top gear and recording all the fresh modular manipulations which resulted as a few folders of some freshly synthesized mind-blowing samples, same week i dropped by Nimrod Gorovich studio and played him some of those recordings he loved it and showed me a sample of Fidel Castro’s
speech in UN in 1979, this speech is famous and my Spanish knowledge allowed me to make a good edit of it and Nimrod just on spot came up with a rhythm and bass line of the track and after few days of productive sessions the tune was done.
Apocalyptic deep techno dj friendly tool that awakes awareness of some life values we both share, the call for all humanity to stop for a second and think about PEACE and making an anti war statement.
Then- pandemic broke up and it wasn’t a good time to release anything dark and war subject related, anyhow sadly last year our world slides back to the times of wars, weapons, rockets, bombs, nuclear threats and its becoming again a hot subject, there for we find this tune more then fitting and relevant to be released NOW."

Gorovich- successful psychedelic trance producer, well known for his original and unique sound that stands out of all psytrance scene cliches and formulas and hybrids his trance with techno and vise versa. His musical journey began as a drummer in the Tel Aviv’s indie scene, evolving into his first well known project duo Empirikal and later a part of legendary LOUD live project, all those experiences resulted him to form his solo project Gorovich and to release an album that followed with an extensive touring all around the world and collaborations with some of the most famous acts and producers in the scene in his constant exploration and experimentation with new sounds, he continues to push boundaries of electronic dance music with his authentic psychedelic style and phat production.

Alex “Boshke “ Tolstey -"A psychedelic techno originator, a walking jukebox of electronic dance music fusion that is hard to categorize as one style, his eclectic, unpredictable, trippy spontaneous dj sets could be heard almost at every major festival in the world in the last 25 years. His versatile selection from disco to techno from house to electro breaks etc, brought him a status of one of the most ahead of
time underground record producers ( more than 250 records were executed till today) and DJs, who still prefers to stay out of commercialism and stick to the underground. He plays for the people, he tries to deliver something to each and every individual on the dancefloor, approaching his crowd as a therapist. Alex believes that music can reach and touch people in a way that nothing else in our universe does."
He says: " While DJing I love to engage in musical conversations with my audience and fuck with their minds!"

25 years Recognition Rec. @ Club der Visionaere, opening set

This year Recognition Records celebrates its 25th anniversary. Jacek Sienkiewicz's label has already produced several dozen titles, consolidating its position as not only one of the most important, but also the most creative Polish labels. 

Jacek himself consistently follows his own artistic path, moving freely between multi-layered, dynamic (post)techno music and avant-garde experiments with sound. 

On the 25th anniversary of the release of the first album, Recognition presents material from 2000-2001 that has never been released in digital form, only on vinyl. The title "Directions: Meaning & Truth" is a compilation of titles 2, 3 and 4 of Jacek's 12”s, i.e. releases that found a wide response abroad and led to him being recognized as one of the most interesting producers on the European scene. 

"Directions" is, above all, the epic, uplifting "New Direction", but the other two tracks are also perfect examples of strong, uncompromising minimal techno. 

"Meaning" creatively transforms the inspirations of the Detroit sound with an irresistibly party character, but at the same time refers to the digital sounds of glitch aesthetics in an original way. 

"The Truth" creatively develops the ideas from the previous record, but goes into darker regions with visible dub influences. 

All three releases collected here undoubtedly have their place in the history of techno music of the 2000s - and to this day they unquestionably defend themselves not only as club tools, but also as testimony to Jacek's extraordinary, individual style, in some way being ahead of its time. 
We hope that they will get a new life with the digital release. 

The compilation includes an additional, previously unreleased track from the same period.
