(Monoloc Remix 0.0.2)
[feat. Cormac]

Press Info:
CLR’s present release is a three tracks EP consisting of Terence Fixmer’s follow up of “Psychik” and two Monoloc remixes of his memorable song “Lovesick”. The originator’s brand-new composition “Psychik (Part 2)” is a smoothly driving, thoroughly absorbing and faultlessly produced Techno track with an uplifting vibe. Terence Fixmer’s approach to Techno has always transmitted a certain warmth and sincerity, and in both of his remixes, Monoloc pays respect to this rare talent of the French DJ/producer. The Frankfurt based CLR artist combines the haunting vocals of Cormac with a soft and elegantly rolling beat, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly atmosphere. Monoloc’s gentle and skilful production style wonderfully underlines the depth of the original. All of the three tracks come across deeply soulful, hypnotic and enchanting. CLR075 is a diversified and irresistible EP with an intriguing sonic vision – music for the mind and for the dance floor…

Press Info:
While we are already looking forward to the release of the complete Traversable Wormhole album in the beginning of summer, CLR is exited to present you this fascinating four track E.P. with remixes of original TW tracks by Northern Structures, Dasha Rush, Orphx and Monolith, four of the highly creative acts on Adam X´s Sonic Groove label. The New York born and Berlin based producer has been writing some of his most mind-bending music under the guise of Traversable Wormhole and had the entire techno scene stunned and bewildered from the moment the first of the anonymously produced, ink stamped white labels appeared in spring 2009. When he finally identified himself as the creator of those mysterious vinyls in 2010, one of the most intriguing secrets in the recent history of techno was lifted and the surprise was complete.

Adam X had done the kind of music nobody would have expected from him at this moment and had bypassed all possible preconceptions and prejudices by making it known without even mentioning it’s composer. Traversable Wormhole is a profound and innovative, genre-crossing mix of straight-up, post-modern, sci-fi laden techno and industrial music beyond trends and hypes. Northern Structures, Dasha Rush, Orphx and Monolith have done incredible jobs at remixing those timeless tracks, adding their personal handwriting while always respecting the experimental and hypnotic nature of the originals.
