For Böser Herbst, Thomas Fehlmann returns to the sediment of ages, drawing from a similar lexicon of sounds to that used on 2018’s ‘1929 – Das Jahr Babylon’. Like that album, Böser Herbst was produced as the soundtrack to a documentary made by Matthias Luthardt, ‘Herbst 1929, Schatten Über Babylon’, which offers historical insight to the third season of the television series Babylon Berlin. It adds yet another string to the bow of this most forward-thinking and creative artist, whose history takes in NDW (Palais Schaumburg), techno (3MB) and psychedelic ambience (The Orb), plus a clutch of gorgeous solo albums that explore wide terrain, from the dancefloor through supine home listening to compelling soundtrack work. Fehlmann’s approach here was to ‘capture’ samples of contemporaneous music, “picking up the dirt and dust of original 1920s archive sound and music excerpts and shaping the essence into this selection of tunes,” he recalls. After delivering the material to the editing room, Fehlmann “threw all the pieces up in the air, deliberately lost the overview in consequence, researched the atmospheric thread and assembled it for this album.” That explains the singular nature of the material here, and its ability to sit together so neatly and discretely, as its own entity. For Böser Herbst is a music box of possibilities, shadowed by its historical provenance, but never crudely beholden to it, rather “keeping the references only as a distant nod, a scent.”

It’s certainly an evocative listen, a cornucopia of textural pleasure and sensual, tactile assemblage. The spiralling, psychedelic cycle of “Karnickel” winds its way between the ears like thread to the needle; “Mit Ausblick” immerses the listener in deep, gaseous tones, only to be lifted into the air by the glassy drones of “Umarmt”. “Wunschwechsler” crackles with the unpredictability of weather systems while a guitar-like loop unspools across the horizon. Throughout, you can catch tiny tastes of the source material, but they’re pressed into greater service, Fehlmann using these sources for their evocative capacity and then saturating them with grain and rumble, abstracting outwards. It’s a music of temporal disjuncture and clairvoyant resonance, “speaking with the past – alert, distant and quixotic.”

In 2022, in their review of the Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD ‘Steamin’ EP, Resident Advisor predicted that “we'll be hearing from Chloé Robinson for summers to come…” This summer that predication is set to come true as the Pretty Weird label founder, DJ and producer Chloé Robinson once again teams up creative partner and fellow club-sounds tour-de-force DJ ADHD on a collaborative new EP set for release on fabric Originals this September. 

Individually and together, Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD are becoming one of the most formidable and creative pairings in the electronic music circuit today. Adding to a string of successful releases and collaborations, today [16.08.23] they announce a brand new EP set for release on fabric London’s imprint for original club orientated music, fabric Originals. 

Dream EP is a dedicated and detailed collection of sounds that melds an enthralling blend of their signature polyrhythmic techno, electro, UK garage and more, cementing the artists as multi-skilled producers with an array of sonic strings to their bow. Primarily though, at their heart, these tracks simply lace together enthralling, dancefloor oriented club-music bliss. Three collaborative tracks from the pair plus one solo track from DJ ADHD make up the project, with the new track ‘Get Me’ out today to mark the announcement. 

With previous releases and collaborations like Chloé’s production debut on the EP Steamin’, which included the Four Tet remix of ‘Pax’, and subsequent explosive tracks like the ‘Get In The Bin’ featuring Nikki Nair, the duo have made a considerable impact with their productions, seeing in rave reviews from publications like Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Mixmag. Now, the duo are back with a four-track EP that omits rhythm, textures, flavours and vocals that bring us straight back into no-frills dance floor bliss.

"It’s always been a dream to work with fabric as a label, years and years before my production journey had even begun! I consider the establishment my family and have had a close relationship to the venue and team for over 10 years, I’ve even curated a few events there which is incredible. To now be following up with my very own EP on the new fabric Originals series leaves me speechless. DJ ADHD and I are sitting amongst some major pioneers in the game regarding roster and we’re both extremely happy with the music and the finished product. The tunes are bouncy, fun and a great representation of our sound! Thank you team fabric for having us on board and I’m absolutely buzzing to share this with the world!" - Chloé

"After nearly a year since our debut release together I’m super happy that our second EP is coming out on fabric Originals. We’ve been sitting on these tunes for absolutely ages and it’s great that they are finally seeing the light of day on such a sick label." 

"This whole EP has been a staple in our sets across the world and has been getting loads of love, so getting it into the hands of the people is super exciting!" - DJ ADHD

Originally released in 1994. L.S.G.’s ‘Blueprint EP’, containing “Hearts” and “Blueprint” remains an undisputed reference for a whole musical genre. It was one of the most successful releases at the time and indeed a blueprint for things to come. The man behind L.S.G. and other projects is Oliver Lieb, one of the most talented producers of electronic music. The two tracks perfectly showcase L.S.G.’s eerie sound creations in a perfect production and all his science works at its finest in this EP. “Hearts” is a heart-breaking tune with a distorted line and a melancholic harp evolving. “Blueprint” adds even more depth, tension and mystery before launching its amazingly gated synths and this famous little melody. It's unbelievable how perfect the sounds are, both on the musicality/harmony and mixing/mastering. The Blueprint EP has been remastered by Oliver Lieb in 2025.
