HNN "L'île Nue" (remixed by Alexander Robotnick)

So the 90s are back, right? With their dreamy deep
atmospheres , their simple house grooves, with samplers
dominating the scene where electronics is mixed up with
samples of acoustic instruments, in an ever serene and
dreamlike mood...
YES, BUT the 90s were something else too! There was
the Bad Masters' techno as well!
Noise like rhythmic scansion, extreme digital modulation,
exasperated editing.
From his huge archives Robotnick fishes out some
experimental techno-house and dub tracks he had fun
producing in the late 90s, while his major creative energy
was turned to ambient and world-music.
Starting with "Science" and "Modulation" - that could be
defined Industrial-techno - and "Tangerine Blob" - a sort
of Goa-Trance -
97 Bad Masters is the follow-up of "Robotnick's Archives"
with a special focus on the 90s.

4) Metronomo (126 bpm)
Can fun and irony get along with techno music? Many
doubt it but what Italcimenti is proposing is indeed ironic
and funny techno !
The name itself, "Italcimenti", mimicing a well-known
Italian brand of cement , tells us a lot about the joking
attitude of the Italian duo , made up of Ludus Pinsky and
Alexander Robotnick.
4 tracks of extremely danceable and unusual electronics,
harsh and rocky sound for a very special electro-techno
produced by home-made synths that are hard to control.
This is the project preceding "The Analog Session"
whose new album is due for February 2015.

Italcimenti - Sturm Und Drug (cuts)

ARTIST: THE ANALOG SESSION
TITLE: BLACK GROUND
LABEL: HOT ELEPHANT
CAT. NO: HEM1511
FORMAT: CD / DIGITAL 
RELEASED: 11 MAY 2015

Italian electronic pioneers, Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky deliver their second album as The Analog Session. 'Black Ground' is a journey into electronic music, from the early 70s to modern techno, performed only with vintage analogue synths.

Wires, cables, knobs, keyboards: they are still a vital part of The Analog Session’s improvised world. But as opposed to 2013’s ‘April’ album, ‘Black Ground’ is more dance orientated in its vision. Although most of the tracks originate from improvisation, there’s more editing work on their individual parts so that they sound more structured and danceable than usual.

Initially conceived as a video project (currently with over 320,000 hits on Youtube), The Analog Session then became an album project and finally a live performance. For Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky it’s not about being nostalgic for an era they represented but is more a progression and improvisation in the present music scene currently dominated by computers. Like the vintage analog gear the pair use, the Analog Session is a living, breathing entity. On the one hand capable of organic brilliance and on the other, breaking down at a moment’s notice.

The new album tracks range from electro-disco to techno, opening up to melody and chord arrangements throughout. ‘My Dream’ for instance is an introspective theme that is developed through different arrangements, alternating with an almost electro-house rhythm. ‘Lonely Dancers’ is made up by a sequence of synth notes whose sound transforms and becomes the backbone of a track that could be perhaps be seen as ‘minimal-electro’ whilst ‘We Are Here’ has a style that's more difficult to define. As in ‘My Dream’, here too a dream-like theme disrupts the minimal atmosphere that provides the tracks structure.

‘Space Circle’ is built on an harmonic progression of four chords, repeated throughout the track whilst undergoing continuous variations - inversions and substitutions - where the tone-colour of the analog synths fully capture the alternating soundscape. ‘Shure I Like’ injects an element of 80s synth pop with its infectious melody providing a link to the duo’s long-estbalished past but ‘Wild Electrons’ takes us further into future-space as the duo explore the sound potential of the latest (polyphonic) synth assembled by Ludus Pinsky.

Finally ‘Black Ground’, the title track, brings us back to planet Earth where the analog sound reveals its concrete, earthly nature. The CD also includes two previously digital only remixes: ‘Ascension’ (Late Night Rmx) and ‘Effai’ (Late Night Rmx).

1 - I love my house (127 bpm)
One more TB303 based track. Something between
Acid-house and Deep-house.
The original recording dates back to 1995. The bass line
has been recently remade using the real TB303, because
at that time Robotnick used to play mostly digital gear.
2 - Submarine (130 bpm)
It's a kind of Ambient Break-beat. It was originally
composed for a soundtrack in the early 90s. Robotnick
had no9thing but the midi file. All the sounds were
produced last year.
3 - Disco Acha (128 bpm)
This track is quite recent as it dates back to 2008. It
represents Robotnick's renewed interest in Disco music.
Philadelphia strings give "disco flavour" to an electro-bass
groove. The title means nothing . It's a kind of " exercise in
style" but may turn useful for clubs.
4 - Minore Terzo (Electric Prince rmx) 128 bpm
Producers Lia Organa and Electric Prince met in 2006 in
a recording studio. Their passion for music and their
similar influences and style brought them together to
create the project Lia Organa & Electric Prince (LOEP).
Since then they have been producing music together.
