(L.F.T. Remix)

Press Info:
Wellen.Brecher is an electronic band with punk attitude, which has been transcending and subverting electronic music genre boundaries for the past 6 years. After the release of Tierisch Verboten, which can confidently be described as the “soundtrack to inclusion”, and a strong second release on our label Killekill, LIEBESERKLARUNG is the band’s first full-length album. Including a series of first-class remixes.?

Refreshingly, the entire release is not based on the corny bad trance traditions loved by contemporary Buffalo shoe wearers. Instead – intentionally or not – it follows a series of almost historical musical quotations from over the last 40 years with each track on the album feeling like a new adventure.

The album opens with TUROFFNER, which has a kind of an Afrika Bambaataa intro, before turning into a wonderfully tresoresque/Detroit techno beast, always commented on or counteracted by the vocals – just like (almost) all the tracks on the album: a new round, a new crazy ride – bumper car lyrics on a powerful stomping reduction of a 90s track.

From here we leap backwards in time into grey West Berlin of the 80s with ROBOT GIRL which shifts and drifts like a bug in buttermilk somewhere between Grauzone and Alan Vega. Next track KAPUTT kicks in with a bang and smashes everything in the best EBM tradition – this could have been played in a techno club in Frankfurt, both in terms of lyrics and sound. Line up for Elektropogo please!

After all the stomping Wellen.Brecher bring in something completely different with VOICE OF A GENERATION: dramatic vocals over delicate breaks which gradually dissolve into arpeggios on a high-quality trance carpet. Challenge complete! ?JULIA takes us back to the late eighties in the dark but fun Belgian-Detroit early trance with new beat appeal. TUNNEL TRANCE would have been a good fit for dancing around the Berlin Siegessaule in, let’s say, 1998.

Relentless 4/4 beats with a hook-line on speed surrounded by acidophilic bows and, on top, the vocal commentary arriving as if from the man behind the glass of the Ferris wheel. In your mind’s eye, you can see fur-shoed gym ravers in bright neon jumping through the Tiergarten like rubber balls.

The cover version of the classic TECHNO DJ is an homage to good old punk – torn apart and reassembled in true Wellen.Brecher style. The closer TIERISCH VERBOTEN brings all the emotion rushing back: fat beats beckon slowly from afar, before the curtain comes up for an epic synth finale.

The harsh, albeit true words really drive you in. It’s not necessary, but perhaps it’s good to point it out: Inclusion can easily be experienced with music like this. Fuck AfD!

Press Info:
In 2023, Wellen.Brecher’s „Tierisch Verboten“ became some sort of hymn for the movement fighting for inclusion and diversity. „Was muss man denn machen, um dazuzugehören? – what do you have to do to be part of it?“ was the key question of the song.

With „KAPUTT“ the band seems to have reached a new level of self-confidence. They aren’t asking for directions anymore, they are taking their place, destroying everything that is and ever has been, making space for the rise of something new. Punk in its purest form – a true strike of liberation.

KAPUTT is going to be part of the album Wellen.Brecher are currently working on, which will be released at the end of 2024. The present single release includes remixes by the master of destruction The Horrorist himself, who turned the original into a 90s rave techno version.

Irish canon Senator tweaked and distorted the original until it came out as a mix bred of Major Rush and Green Velvet. Ricci d’Hoyerswerda worked the vocals into a hi-energy ghetto track. JP Toulouse – also member of the Ick Mach Welle crew – delivered an EDMish remix, that will work well on all bigger floors. Peaktime galore!

WELLEN.BRECHER is an inclusive band project, currently consisting of Werner Soyeaux aka Bläck Dävil, Uwe Locati aka DJ Locati, Dave Senan aka Senator and Hanni from the German punk band Pisse.

With an extensive hardware setup consisting of numerous drum machines, grooveboxes, synthesizers and a microphone, they create something that could be described as experimental rave techno: danceable, but unpredictable at the same time, presented with a large dose of fun and humour.

out now: Für Elise – Paradiso EP [IMW Records]

Für Elise

Title:

Label:
IMW Records

IMW001

Release Date:
07th June 2024

Format:

Tracklist:
01.
Paradiso

02.
Boombastic

03.
Chemical Reaction

Press Info:
FÜR ELISE is a young Berlin band that emerged from Killekill’s inclusive music project Ick Mach Welle. The band consists of African-German Elise Neumann on the microphone and the legendary Turkish-Finnish music producer and crooner Khan of Finland, elementary component of the queer scene for over 30 years. Elise impresses with her soulful voice, incredible stage presence and freestyling skills, Khan with his over-all beauty and brilliance on the production. The two met for the first time in late 2023, clicked immediately and here they are with a whole stage show and this release on the young label IMW in their luggage.

The EP combines 3 tracks of electronic dub with quite a range in style: The title track Paradiso comes along in a very tropical fashion and has almost mainstream appeal. The lyrics reflect on Elise’s longing back to Barbados where she was brought up – the classic paradise with white sandy beaches and palms. She wants to go back, but she also makes quite clear that compared to Barbados Berlin is the place she actually wants to be at. It’s a love/hate relationship between her and Barbados as well as Berlin.

The second track Boombastic is more on the dub techno dance floor tip. The lyrics also reflect on Elise’s roots, this time with a pumping kick drum laying underneath, which matches the anger potential this topic seems to bring up in Elise.

The third track Chemical Reaction is the most abstract piece and tells a story of a failed love on top of a dark and melancholic dub track.

You’ll be hearing a lot more from Für Elise. Stay tuned!

IMW is a new label linked to the Berlin project Ick Mach Welle, which aims to push for inclusivity in electronic music and culture. Expect frequent releases covering a wide range of styles.

Press Info:
Minimum Syndicat (also known as MS or M-Syndicat) are two musicians from Paris who have been making electronic noise and live performances for decades. They are known for their very unique mix of acid, rave and industrial on the one hand and cinematic, psychedelic, sci-fi landscapes on the other.

S.C.H.O.R.L. is their first full length album. Like some kind of bleak space opera it tells its story of lonely subaquatic outposts, Soviet droids and mantis-priests gathering.

The core is spaced out electro, but it also has elements of techno, doomcore, breakbeat and industrial, one could say. “At this point subgenres are less important than in the past, it’s more like the alternative electronic scene against the industry turning techno into moronic money-driven entertainment.“, they say, and right they are.

The album features two collaborations with French heavyweights Umwelt and Voiron, the artwork comes from the legendary Belgian artist Elzo Durt, who made some of our strongest artworks in the past and who is a fan of Minimum Syndicat himself. The 2×12“ is limited to 100 copies, handnumbered and comes with a silk-screen A2 poster with a version of the artwork.

MS will also be releasing a special series of digital releases called “Mutant Signal“ on their own label.

Press Info:
Wellen.Brecher is an inclusive band that emerged from the Killekill’s Berlin-based project Ick Mach Welle. It consists of Werner Soyeaux aka Bläck Dävil, Uwe Locati aka DJ Locati, Dave Senan aka Senator and Hanni Kusch, a member of the German punk band Pisse.

After a very busy year 2022 with touring, the band are ready to bring you their debut EP “Hitmaschine”. Included on the release is “Lasst Uns Feiern”, the band’s “Anthem”, a banging rave influenced mega-hit that manages to hit-hard and deep while keeping the overall vibe happy and fun. For his remix, The Hacker radically cuts things back while adding a hefty portion of 90s hardcore to deliver you another “hit”.

On the B side, band member DJ Locati strikes sonorous notes with his vocals, spread over a base of hypnotic acid trance and progressively developing into a deep dive down into a rave tunnel. Rounding out the record is a guest appearance by the band 21Downbeat. Their reinterpretation of Wellen.Brecher’s Tierisch Verboten (which was released as the opener of the “Superbrains” compilation on Killekill) brings a healthy dose of smashing new-wave to the proceedings. Finally, as a digital bonus track, Furfriend goes one even further with a gritty techno remix of Brummbär.
