"Machines" (Snippet) XPQ-21

Machines (Club Version)

Machines

Temptation is deeply rooted in us. As humans, we are constantly confronted with it. Some are strong enough to resist it, most are addicted to it.
This track isn´t a warning, it shows us a mirror we can look into if we want to. Sooner or later we will have to face it, whether we want to or not.

"Temptation" is the second single of the announced album due to released in 2023 and follows the successful comeback "Machines"

We are at a turning point.
Where Minds Collide is about an AI that is rapidly taking over the world. Two systems and philosophies are locked in conflict, and we humans are ill-prepared for the unfolding scenario. Quite peculiar, considering we are the architects of this very development.
In a matter of a few years, reliance on AI will become indispensable. Anyone suggesting otherwise is being naive. We are on a collision course with AI and these two systems, and the battle for survival is imminent.

Technical facts:
This time, Jeyênne's vocals were recorded in a completely different way than usual. Different techniques, recording rooms and microphones were used to give the vocals a unique and distinctive effect. The female vocals are by Laura Friedland, a jazz-trained singer, songwriter and multidisciplinary artist. Her work includes recordings with producers and live performances with DJs. Her musical sensibility is influenced by electronic genres such as dubstep, electronica, ambient, contemporary and experimental.

Jeyênne alias XPQ-21 was born in Italy and eventually made his way to Berlin. He is a singer-songwriter-producer who performs and writes in English and German. His work includes recording, producing, songwriting, DJing and live performance.
His musical origins lie in catholic organ and electro punk, and he was later influenced by the dark wave of the late 80s, 90s rave and 2000s industrial techno.

He played in countless raves in the 90s, performing regularly under the pseudonym The Jeyênne . He played with @theprodigy and @moby on their 1995 German tour. Viva and MTV played his "Das Nippel" in rotation, while Front242 contributed a remix of his Darkness single ‘Mayday 1995‘.  More raves followed until he creates XPQ-21 in 1998, his Industrial Goth EBM project, followed by his own label.

For 10 years he toured through Europe and the USA. At the height of his success, Jeyênne retired and started his own school in Germany: the EMS - Electronic Music School, with locations in Berlin and Cologne (www.em-school.com)

The following years were filled with tragedies and crises, which did not stop him from continuing to work on his production, sound design and his unmistakable way of creating music.

In 2019 he releases on one of the EMS labels a new single remix for Jeyênne. In 2020 he releases remix for XPQ-21 and his industrial techno project @korgenaamat. 

XPQ-21 have published all releases digitally again in 2020.
2022 marks the release of MACHINES, followed by TEMPTATION 2023 and WHERE MINDS COLLIDE (with Laura Friedland) in 2024.

Jeyênne is currently working on the next XPQ-21 album.
