Press Info:
After the last release, that was more house-oriented, we can say – in a nutshell – that the upcoming ://ab004 is about: techno!

With their piece AB1, NX1 take a powerful, break-fueled percussive line, keeping an eye on the big floor with their huge reverb rooms, while STEPHANIE SYKES, who grew so close to our hearts, presents a real peak time-slammer with her track BLUR, that definitely references to her brimming, energetic DJ sets.
JAY QUENTIN, also a friend of the club for many years, nourishes a lot of warmth and depth in his track INFORMATION SUPERHIGH, which remains still pushing enough for the dancefloor – perfect for a special B side.

Rave on, Ravers!

Press Info:
Once again we are sending a new release of acoustic signals from the collectively-run kindergarten at Berlin’s east cross. After a techno focus on the last release, this one is a bit more melodic and housey.

With “hot lies”, EGON ELLIUT contributes a well-crafted house track, newly revised in the “zkb taking the bus version” by one of our current favorite producers, ZK BUCKET. With lots of love for detail, it’s a real pleasure.

PEREL is no stranger to ://about blank. For years she has convinced us witAnkerh her fantastic live sets; as a DJ, she is just as grounded. “opal” sounds exactly like that—a shimmering, contemporary version of disco!, an album on dfa coming soon.

Our resident JESSAMINE is releasing his first track ever on this mini compilation— rough and warm, with a touch of the 80’s in sound design, “more love later” has become a beautiful, harmonious and melodic love slider—suitable more for the later club hours.

More love later!

Press Info (German):
://about blank – das label des postautonomen kindergartens am ostkreuz erwacht nach einer längeren phase der rekonvaleszenz aus dem schönheitsschlaf. mit einer compilation, die techno zeitgenössisch ausbuchstabiert, melden wir uns zurück an den decks:

samuli kemppi aus helsinki begleitet uns schon seit der geburtsstunde und ist ein sympath, wie er im buche steht. musikalisch steht er für einen minimalistischen, kristallklaren sound, dem man durchaus die vornehme finnische distanz anhören kann.

fabrizio lapiana ist ebenfalls ein langjähriger freund des hauses. seine klänge vermögen jeden noch so winzigen dancefloor räumlich wachsen zu lassen – er kreiert große (hall-)räume und schickt die tänzer*innen darin gerne auf eine düstere und melancholische reise.

besonders freuen wir uns über den beitrag unseres residents akmê. nach seiner ersten ep auf connwax geht er hier energetisch, druckvoll und trotzdem mit der liebe zum detail und einer gerissenen verspieltheit zur sache – ganz ähnlich wie in seinen dj-sets.

mit diesen drei nummern repräsentiert die ://about blank002 allerbestens den mdf-soundtrack. nächste stationen nach dem powernap: lobby und garten. rave on!

 

Press Info (English):
://about blank – the label of the post-autonomous kindergarden from berlin’s east cross awakes after a long beauty sleep. we’re back behind the decks with a lineup that is carving out contemporary techno:

finnish producer samuli kemppi from helsinki has accompanied us since the beginning of our club. musically, he stands for a minimalist, crystal-cut sound hailing from galaxies far, far away.

fabrizio lapiana is a long-time friend of the house. his sounds are able to expand even the smallest dance floors—he sculpts spacious soundscapes and sends dancers on a deep dive into dark and melancholy travels.

we are particularly excited about the presence of our resident akmê, who comes to us with energetic release after his first ep on connwax. he will be bringing his steadfast love of detail and sly playfulness—elements present in all his dj-sets.

with these three numbers, the ://about blank 002 has compiled the best of the mdf soundtrack. next stop after powernap: lobby and garden. rave on!
