Press Info:
“Negative Music / The Poorest! If they still know silence at all, then only as holes in the continuum of noise…” — Günther Anders, 1965

Editions Mego presents GETGETGET, a new release by Thomas Brinkmann which serves as an inquiry into silence, code, and the limits of perception.

The title GETGETGET references the trilogy of ‘Get’ lp’s made by Rehberg under his PITA moniker; Get Out, Get In and Get On. The music is based on material by Rehberg and Brinkmann morphing these two identities into a third colour, a disappearing color.

Emerging from a live performance at the label’s 30th anniversary in Berlin, the work unfolds as both sonic artifact and conceptual system: a study in what remains when sound is reduced, extracted, and reconstituted.

Taking inspiration from Günther Anders’ notion of “negative music”—composition through absence—Brinkmann’s approach aligns with Heinrich Böll’s idea of “collected silence”: silence not as void, but as a material framed against the constant pressure of noise. In GETGETGET, pauses are not gaps but structural elements, cut from a continuum and reinserted as signals.

The two side long tracks weave a dark abstract and ‘twisted’ presence where the ghosts of the machines and their operators fuse into a fantastical whole. One can hear traces of both Brinkmann and Rehberg logic which seems to fuse in a hallucinatory manner.

Brinkmann’s work reflects a broader condition: the translation of material processes into informational ones. As images detach from bodies and code separates from matter, sound too loses its fixed resonance. What remains is circulation—of signals, of data, of meaning—within systems that increasingly define perception itself.

GETGETGET is an album where absence is equal to presence, a metaphor with suggestive tones of the influence Rehberg had and continues to have in the world of the radical experimental electronic avant garde. The “zero” is not empty; it is what makes everything else work.

Press Info:
We’re buzzing to welcome C-System to the label with a blistering five-track EP, The Resistance of the Chosen Ones. Hailing from Granada in southern Spain, José María Moreno Vega has been one of the region’s underground techno heroes for over two decades. There he has built an extensive catalogue alongside a formidable reputation for uncompromising, turbo-powered productions and live sets.

Analogue techno at full intensity dominates the A-side, showcasing the raw power that has defined C-System’s sound throughout his career. “Dark Logic” finds a perfect balance between hard 303-driven techno and euphoric melodic trance – a track that in another era could easily have been classified as hard trance. “Original Force” is a tense, grinding, loop-driven club track, drawing influence from the glory years of tough UK techno. Meanwhile, “Morph12” unleashes a pummelling EBM assault for fans of Thomas Heckmann, Al Ferox and more.

One of C-System’s most enduring tracks, “Poison” – originally released on Dirty Planet in 2008 – returns on the flip in newly remastered form, combining crushing broken beats with chiming bells to devastating effect. Closing the EP, José steps into his electro guise as Spectrums Data Forces, blending brooding bass, intricate rhythmic percussion and an uplifting synth motif into a masterful finale.
