(DCMBR & Hermete Remix)

Press Info:
Milan’s hard techno label Kriptika Records serves up a third EP packing plenty of talent with originals from Rezystor and Stigmatique, and remixes from Echoes of October and label heads DCMBR & Hermete.

Rezystor is first up and is a Cologne based artist who resolutely goes his own way. His upbringing in heavy metal has left a large shadow looming on his current techno sound and makes it utterly visceral. His ‘Dunkelheit’ opens up in a powerful fashion as it quickly establishes a big, bustling wall of hard techno noise and lets it roll for six fearsome minutes. Echoes Of October’s Lichtblick remix is twice as long and just as fierce, with firmly rooted kick drums making you march as filtered synths are drawn out up top and tense chords add fuel to the fire.

Stigmatique hails from Leipzig, runs his own SEELEN label and has a raw, hard edged sound. His ‘Samael, Der Ankläger der Lebenden’ is another turbocharged banger, with stiff, robotic grooves and mechanical synths locking you into a groove and keeping you there, right on the edge of your seat. Label founders DCMBR & HERMETE have done a fine job in A&Ring the high quality techno that is making this label so vital already, and their own putt is also key to that. Here they remix with a sci-fi edge, layering in mysterious pads and moments of calm that allow radio transmission to come into ear shot before the serrated groove fires again.

(The Lady Machine Remix)

Press Info:
Wretched Cuts is the new solo EP by gender-nonconforming techno artist, Projekt Gestalten. The release comes via the New York’s Mild Fantasy imprint run by DJ Elle Dee and features three original themes focusing on introspective techno plus a remix by the veteran, The Lady Machine.

The project reflects an array of themes using as the starting point the story of Estamira and the Brazilian documentary of the same name, telling her life story. Estamira was an incredibly enlightened older woman who scattered one of the largest landfills of Rio de Janeiro for food. Not because she had to, but because she loved that place as she loved “her own children” and enjoyed making a living out of other people’s disposable goods. Simultaneously, while dealing with schizophrenia and abuse, she believed she was a superior spiritual being whose magical powers could control time, space, and other elements of nature.

The tracks are inspired by some of her most memorable quotes and moments that made an impact on Projekt Gestalten. “Wise People In Reverse” goes into a darker approach and samples Estamira’s voice talking in a mysterious unknown language with an unrevealed force, using only a broken piece of a telephone that she had just found it in the trash. “Morte Macaca” takes a rhythmic approach towards dub techno, and “Holographic Principle” gets trippier and hallucinogenic with Projekt Gestalten’s signature acid lines. Lady Machine’s “Wise People In Reverse” remix takes the original theme to a driving, peak hour approach and transforms it into an effective DJ tool.

“There are no more innocent people on Earth, only wise people in reverse”.

Projekt Gestalten’s “Wretched Cuts EP” drops on November 13th 2020 on digital and on a limited pink coloured vinyl edition.
