Mannequin Records is proud to present a 2xLP compilation of System 01, the legendary techno project of Johnny Klimek & Paul Browse.

Moving from acid basslines, 808/909 minimalistic reminiscences and hidden movie samples, the core of the compilation is covering Johnny and Paul whole activity as System 01, spanning from their 1990 debut EP "From Psychodelics To Cybernetics" on Interfisch with Timothy Leary, father of the LSD generation, to 1994, with the release of their most acclaimed album "Drugs Work" on Tresor, naturally placing them in the "Der Klang Der Familie".

For the artwork we thought it was a good idea to contact the legendary Ian Anderson from The Designers Republic, who made the original 'Drugs Work' artwork. The British graphic design studio based in Sheffield are best known for electronic music logos and album artwork for Warp Records, having designed the most iconic releases of Aphex Twin and Autechre.

The story of System 01 starts way before the early 90's, and precisely in the early 80's, when Melbourne-born producer/bassist Johnny Klimek achieved worldwide chart success after a move to Berlin, with an act called ‘The Other Ones’, which included his brother Alf and twin sister Jayney Klimek.

In the years that followed Johnny set up his own production studio in Berlin, and together with Paul Browse went on to infiltrate the electronic music scene with System 01 and Effective Force, with releases on Interfisch/Tresor.

Founder member of the Sheffield cult group Clock DVA, Paul Browse, feeling that this body of work could not be topped, left in 1989 both Clock Dva and England, in favour of Berlin, to start a new life and to continue his occult research. The high point and most successful experiments of his period with Clock Dva can be heard on the album "Buried Dreams".

After a short period of quarantine, Paul was welcomed into Berlin's underground research network, meeting Johnny and embarking himself on a series of joint adventures with the city's most dedicated and driven. Together they established the new sound of Berlin. Moments later the Berlin Wall fell.

In fact, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, unused areas and buildings were ready to be filled with new life all over Berlin, with both parts East and West conquering new open and unclaimed spaces. Clubs, galleries, studios and studios emerge - often only for a few weeks. Berlin will soon be the epicenter of a new culture, attracting thousands of fans from all over the world.

In meantime Johnny Klimek started a side-career, touring in Europe with the Nina Hagen Band as bass player, which would later lead to writing and co-producing her next album in collaboration with Reinhold Heil.

In that same year a partnership with director/composer Tom Tykwer and Reinhold Heil was established, being a 3-piece production team dedicated to the output of film scores, beginning with the 1997 film "Winter Sleepers" and following with ‘Run Lola Run’, which incidentally is the most successful German film in the US since ‘Das Boot’.

After many successfull soundtrack features, including among the others 'Cloud Atlas' - nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score - and Romero's 'Land Of The Dead', Johnny is the composer of the 4th movie of the Matrix saga, 'Matrix Resurrections', due to be released on 18th December 2021.

IMPACT extends a conversation that Jorkes had with Lisa Jäge about how essential parties are for freedom of expression. During those times, it was brought home that club culture is vital for exchanging ideas and feelings, drives change and provokes debate about everything from gender identification to sexual liberation. As such, the pair set up discussions under titles such as 'Clubs as Places for Freedom and Emancipation' at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Planned talks will coincide with the two further installments of IMPACT, the first of which manifests musically with this six-track collection.

Russian-Armenian collective Delicate Features open up and describe the music they make as 'soundtracks to Rene Magritte's pictures, where day and night exist together.' Their 'Without You' is a beautifully delicate and late-night track with spine-tingling vocals and icy chords. On Bells then feature d.r.a.b. on 'Alive', three minutes of heavenly vocals offset by dark bass and chords. There is a bitter-sweet melancholy to it that leaves a lasting impression. Venice Arms is a new side project from acclaimed dark disco artist Curses, and 'On Ur Mind' is a cavernous bass track with old school jungle influences and shimmering melodies that bring a state of euphoria.

Berlin-based, Italy-born Younger Than Me is a rebel who brings old rave energy to new school club sounds on labels, including Duro and NEIN. His 'Miss Gilda' is a slow and heavy groove with grinding drums and coarse synths unfolding up top. Birds is East London's Katie Wilkinson, who fuses new wave 80s goth, techno, psychedelic and experimental on her shadowy and bleak yet alluring 'A Pointless Trip'. Last comes Germany based US emigree Zamal, a Dj who holds a residency at the label's Romantica Club parties. Here he brings his broad musical taste to 'Inthevoid', a deep and dynamic techno track with cerebral synths.

Tracklist:

1. Delicate Features - Without You 
2. On Bells (feat. d.r.a.b.) - Alive
3. Venice Arms - On Ur Mind
4. Younger Than Me - Miss Gilda 
5. Birds - A Pointless Trip
6. Zamal - inthevoid

The ‘Emergence’ series was the first fully-fledged project of Bella Ursa's head honcho Letherique, aimed at experimenting with the boundaries of his many influences – no matter if its techno, disco, electro, or ambient. It helped forge his identity through much trial and error and ultimately led to the creation of the Bella Ursa imprint.

As now is the time to finally move forward in peace, we thought it would be nice to release a mixtape compiling all these early works, along with a few extra and unreleased tracks. To make this collection complete, he entrusted many of his friends met over the years with each producing a remix of their choice. Harnessing the power from a multitude of different scenes, ‘Emergence Remixed’ offers a brand-new journey into uncharted horizons, where Morodesque disco meets mind-altering electro-jazz and cinematic delights reminiscent of Lalo Schifrin’s soundtracks.

Phase 1 of the Bella Ursa mothership is now complete. Onward to Infinity and Beyond!

Premiere: Duncan Forbes - Silence Runs Through It - 49North

For their 3rd outing, Duncan Forbes and his 49North imprint choose to dish up their 4-track EP wares, in a slightly more traditional manner - a Double DF A-Side, with a single remix of each OG on the flip.

First up is 'Omnite' - a proper behemoth of a track, that's anchored around raw and dynamic break beats and an elastic lead that radiates this thick, unearthly magic. Then we have the wintery, acid-lined grooves of 'Silence Runs Through It' - a track that lures us down a more heads-down and hypnotic kind of path.

On the flip-side meanwhile are super hot London collective, Denham Audio - who deliver a delightfully aerial and versicolor interpretation of 'Omnite'; as well as Benjamin Frohlich and his super respectful rework of 'Silence Runs

Through It'... one which essentially sees the PermVac boss dial up the dark and amp up the acid ever so slightly - whilst leaving the heart and soul of the OG - very much intact.

Tracklist: 

1. Duncan Forbes ‘Omnite'
2. Duncan Forbes ‘Silence Runs Through It’
3. Duncan Forbes ‘Omnite’  (Denham Audio ‘Floaty' Remix)
4. Duncan Forbes ‘Silence Runs Through It’ (Benjamin Fröhlich Remix)

PREMIERE: Duncan Forbes - Slow Burn 2049 [49North]

Kicking things off is EP lead, 'Slow Burn 2049' - a track which rides aloft raw breakbeat drum patterns - whilst plush, ambient synths billow out succulent, windswept melodies. Then we have Duncan Forbes' (@@49north-recordings) very own ‘Logan’s Run’ re-rub of '49North EP3' 's 'Omnite' - a beastly slab of purposeful Techno, that appears to pay homage, however subtly - to a certain, widely cherished 80's classic in the process.

Cooper Saver (@coopersaver) then steps up to the 'Slow Burn 2049' remix plate - delivering an entrancing piece of slo-mo, percussion-laden magic; before the mighty Locked Groove takes us over the finish line - twisting Duncan's 'In The Mansion Of The Gods' into a dark, dub-washed Techno titan.

American Girl started as a joke when I was watching old Kobe Bryant highlights and Estelle's ''American Boy'' was the soundtrack. I really wanted to make a stripped back #emotional version that would play on its really great melodic structure. I reached out to my lovely friend @Wafia to sing a duet with me & mustered enough courage to jump on the first verse. I'm very proud of this song. I hope you enjoy it.  

Produced by Ta-ku, Daniel Crawford & Will Langer.

I had the pleasure of working with Chicago based singer, songwriter, and rapper Brooks (Add him https://soundcloud.com/brooks-wagner) I wanted to bring all my styles together with hints of house, R&B, hip hop, and jazz all in one record. I think we did a pretty good job and created this super sexy tune. Brooks and I got more music we are working on together that I can't wait to share with you guy's! Hope you dig this tune and keep it lock.
