Following up on his Data Phobia and Beats For The Streets EPs, @credit00ratlife returns with a mind-bending blend of past, present and future, carefully pieced together in a way that could come from no other.

From the mind to the floor, from dark and cold machinefunk to blazed-out sun grooves, Credit 00 leaves no sonic traveler yearning.

Count 8

[ Buy on Bandcamp ]

Credit 00 - Count 8 [MTRON032]

Funk The System! The recipe is simple: Dig deep, listen to your heart, record everything you got on a dusty old desktop computer, leave it to simmer for the time of a pandemic, and if it’s still fresh, serve it up on the finest plate of black wax!

This collaboration started in Düsseldorf in the year 2018. Locked up for a week in the Flanger Studios, Wolf Müller and Credit 00 recorded everything: from the jaw harp to smartphone apps, chopping up GDR Jazz breaks and squeezing the Funk out of every synthesizer and drum machine at hand.

You will hear the open mindedness towards all sorts of musical influences from the first note. Each of the five tracks showcases a wild mix of flavours: Disco Reggae, B-Girl Breakbeats, Protest Folk, Subway Funk, Tabla Rhythms, you name it... they’ll take it and shake it! It is obvious these two got sonically socialized and educated by the multiculturalism of Hip-Hop in their early days.

After the first Recording Session, the tracks fermented for some time until they were cracked open again. This time in Leipzig at Credit 00’s Westend Workshop. That’s also where Rizmi from Birmingham joined the team and lent her voice to the title track. She reinterpreted the lyrics of the obscure German 1980s Workers’ Rock Song, that Wolf digged out for the Intro Skit of „Funk The System“.

A long time in the making, Rat Life is very happy to finally publish this EP!

PREMIERE⚡️Credit 00 & Wolf Müller - Yellow Fire [Rat Life Records]

Dietroiter DR090324

Rat Life welcomes back Leibniz for the label's 23rd release! This 12inch piece of wax is jam packed with five grimy techno mantras, each one proving once again that the highest level of mastery is simplicity. Most information is irrelevant and most effort is wasted, but only Leibniz knows what to ignore.
