Press Info:
A new face and another facet of Techno as an art form debute on Ressort Imprint, showing a wide variaty of beauty and harshness.Array Access is a true sound aesthetician. All about the right mood, the right sound and the right feeling, his tracks are not only functional but beautiful as well. Two original tracks entitled ‘Variations’ illustrate this young producer’s passion from the very first minute and take us on a cruise through rough beats while floating on airy synthesizer sounds at the same time.
Additionally to that, the remixers did their best to keep the beauty vivid. The Swedish producer Evigt Mörker stays true to his style and serves an interpretation fitting foggy clubs and misty forests alike while Eomac defends his reputation as being one of the most interesting artists these days with a take that is deeply anchored in modern electronica.

Press Info:
Naked Anonymity marks the debut collaboration between Nikolai Hirschberg and Static Plate.
Both ardent lovers and producers of fast, hard-hitting techno bring similar but entirely different productions to the table—like two different sides of the same coin.
Although BPM-wise very closely related, Hirschberg’s beat sweeps and rolls like an echo from deep within a vast ocean.
Whereas Static Plates’ thunderous high-hats erupt at the ocean’s surface, hitting the ground running.
Both styles of production define each other through their differences, and similarites—as if stripping their music naked only showed how bold and strong a substance it is made of.

Press Info (English):
Kobosil, Norman Nodge and Marcel Dettmann offer new versions of Terence Fixmer’s 2003 “Aktion Mekanik Theme” on Ostgut Ton.
It’s safe to say that Terence Fixmer’s track “Aktion Mekanik Theme” (Music Man Records, 2003) was as much a landmark release for Techno as the whole Aktion Mekanik compilation was for EBM as a genre. “As an artist who’s been pushing EBM sounds into the modernity of Techno it was a logical step to do the compilation back then,” Terence says. “I wanted to show my influences as a Techno artist, as Detroit sounds weren’t my roots at all, but classics by Front 242, Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb, Crash Course In Science or Snowy Red.
I met Music Man’s Stefaan Vandenberghe through Emmanuel Top in ‘93, and of course I was a fan of his label – the label in Belgium at that time. Music Man was obviously the perfect place for this EBM project: they are from Belgium, they knew the bands, many of them were proud of this sound. So I discussed my idea of putting out a compilation with some classic and landmark tracks from the EBM direction with Stefaan, and it got made.”
While the original version is simultaniously being re-released on red 12“ vinyl on Music Man, Ostgut Ton offers three versions of “Aktion Mekanik Theme” – after the original found its way into the DJ sets of the remixers. “I was surprised as – to me – this track was a kind of forgotten one from a limited vinyl compilation.”, Terence continues. “And it was a nice surprise to see that young artists such as Kobosil are into this kind of music, too. Marcel suggested to give this track a new life through remixes. The Kobosil one injects an amazing energy with a great sound, I wish I would have done such a version at that time.”, Fixmer comments.
Press Info (German):
Kobosil, Marcel Dettmann und Norman Nodge veröffentlichen neue Versionen von Terence Fixmers „Aktion Mekanik Theme“ (2003) auf Ostgut Ton.
Man kann getrost behaupten, dass Fixmers Track „Aktion Mekanik Theme“ (Music Man Records, 2003) eine ebenso wichtige Veröffentlichung für Techno war, wie die ganze Aktion Mekanik-Compilation für EBM als Genre. „Als Künstler, der EBM-Klänge in Richtung der Moderne von Techno entwickelte, war damals an dieser Compilation zu arbeiten ein naheliegender Schritt“, sagt Terence. „Ich wollte meine Einflüsse als Techno-Künstler aufzeigen, da Detroit-Sounds so überhaupt gar nicht meine musikalischen Wurzeln waren – sondern Klassiker wie Front 242, Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb, Crash Course In Science oder Snowy Red.
Music Mans Stefaan Vandenberghe lernte ich ’93 durch Emmanuel Top kennen, natürlich war ich ein Fan seines Labels – zu jener Zeit das Label aus Belgien. Music Man war offensichtlich der perfekte Ort für dieses EBM-Projekt: Sie sind aus Belgien, sie kannten die Bands und viele waren stolz auf diesen Sound.“
Während das Original gleichzeitig auf rotem 12″-Vinyl auf Music Man wiederveröffentlicht wird, erscheinen auf Ostgut Ton drei Versionen des „Aktion Mekanik Theme“ – nachdem das Original zuvor Eingang in die Sets der beteiligten Remixer gefunden hatte. „Ich war überrascht, da der Track – aus meiner Sicht – ein vergessen geratener Teil einer limitierten Vinyl-Compilation war. Und es war eine schöne Überraschung, dass junge Künstler wie Kobosil diese Art Musik gut finden. Marcel schlug dann vor, dem Stück durch Remixes neues Leben einzuhauchen. Kobosil speist den Track mit unglaublicher Energie und einem tollen Klang. Ich wünschte, ich hätte damals so eine Version machen können“, kommentiert Fixmer. „Die Norman Nodge-Version könnte auch ins Jahr ‘89 oder ‘90 passen, sie klingt sehr nach New Beat, sehr belgisch, wie ein weiteres Original. Und Marcel hat den Kern, die Essenz des Originals freigelegt – sehr spannend, düster und atmosphärisch. Die Wahl des ‚Leitmotiv‘-Titels trifft es gut. Die neue und die alte Generation, vereint.“
