Info:
Chris Liebing and the CLR team are very exited about the upcoming release of CLR 049. The ENGINE EP by BLACK ASTEROID is the brand-new project of an artist who has been an unconventional techno innovator and a big inspiration for many years.

Black Asteroid is the brainchild of Bryan Black, who started his career as a sound designer for Prince. While working with Prince at Paisley Park Studios, Bryan learned and honed sound and production skills, which inspired him to start his own band. He moved to London England and co-founded a band called MOTOR. Their first demo was quickly signed to Novamute, and after 2 singles, MOTOR were catapulted to the top of the techno world, sharing stages with Daft Punk and Kraftwerk at major festivals, and later embarking on a World tour supporting Depeche Mode in 2009.

In April 2011, Bryan decided to start a new project by the name of BLACK ASTEROID, to showcase an exciting new sound and to re-capture the techno world once more. That was the moment when Chris Liebing came into the picture, and he recalls it as follows: “Of course I have always been a fan of Novamute, and one day I had this ‘Motor’ track called Sweatbox in my hands and loved it so much, that I called Novamute and asked if I could remix it. The result was the release of a single sided vinyl that came out in the end of 2005. What I really liked about the Original was the ‘out of the ordinary’ techno approach that Motor had…., and still has. For my remix, I actually only added a bassdrum…

6 years later I find this demo mail by Motor mastermind Bryan Black in my inbox, with a 4 track project called BLACK ASTEROID. He kept following what was happening on CLR and thought it was a good idea to send me the new tracks he has done. What a great idea! Very soon the next day, our whole office in Berlin was dancing and the neighbours were complaining.

I am excited and happy that Bryan has chosen CLR in order to get his tracks out and that we can continue the story, which started back in 2005. Loads of musical adventures lie ahead of us and I am happy to have Bryan Black on board!”

This debut EP of BLACK ASTEROID was written in only 1 week. Then it was mixed in the following week and signed to CLR a week later. An early demo version of “Engine 1” even made it to one of the highest ranks in Dave Clarke’s monthly top ten, long before any promos were sent out. It almost seems as if this music was in a hurry to be out there, and if you listen to it, it won’t surprise you at all. The ENGINE EP consists of nothing but pure POWER.

Techno pioneer Orlando Voorn re-releases The Nighttripper project

One of the most influential founders of the Dutch techno scene, Orlando Voorn, will re-release two of his biggest singles under his alter ego The Nighttripper end of 2010 with brand new mixes. In collaboration with Dutch techno imprint Underground Liberation, Orlando Voorn presents the rebirth of “Tone Exploitation” and “Phuture”, still considered as all time techno classics, in new versions by an exciting list of techno producers. Respectively end of July 2011 and mid August 2011, “Tone Exploitation” and “Phuture” will be globally available as a vinyl release and as digital download.

Orlando Voorn was one of the first Dutch musicians to establish a vital connection between Detroit and Amsterdam in the early 90’s and has long been recognized as one of the Netherland’s most original and ingenious producers in the world of electronic dance music. At a young age, Orlando Voorn was discovered by Dutch Radio host Robin Albers who was in charge of the Dutch DMC DJ Championship 1986. Surprisingly Voorn placed first in the Dutch competitions 1986 and 1987 for Holland which placed him in the world championships of DMC twice in the United Kingdom where he came in 3rd place and 5th place. His characteristic blend of hip hop and electro music in his DJ sets soon were translated into his first productions, released under Fixomatic in the late 80’s.

His extensive discography consists of an outstanding amount of releases, vastly contributing to both the Dutch as well as the international techno scene and are effortlessly able to level with Detroit’s finest such as Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. The list of labels carrying Orlando Voorn productions and remixes is impressive to say the least. Derrick May’s label Fragile, Juan Atkins’ imprint Metroplex, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS, Richie Hawtin’s label Plus 8, techno institution R&S Records, the German label Low Spirit Recordings and Dutch flag bearer of techno ESP is just a small tip of the immense iceberg.

Showing his visionary versatility, Orlando Voorn goes behind a string of alter egos. As Format #1 (Solid Session), Frequency (Where is Your Evidence, Kiss the Sky), Playboy (In Da Jungle), Fix (Flash) and The Nighttripper (Tone Exploitation, Phuture), Orlando Voorn reached immortal status with all tracks mentioned still being caned during DJ sets on classic house events. With the re-release of Tone Exploitation and Phuture as The Nighttripper, Orlando Voorn is sure to once again carve a path in the international techno landscape.

Orlando Voorn and Underground Liberation selected none the less than a.o. Kevin Saunderson, Ken Ishii, Robert Armani, Luke Slater (Planetary Assault Systems), Robert Hood, Ben Sims, DJ T-1000, Suburban Knight and Ritzi Lee to deliver new versions of Tone Exploitation and Phuture. These remix packs, to be released separately, will respectively be available end of July 2011 and mid August 2011 in music stores worldwide on limited vinyl, and as digital download on globally acclaimed portals like iTunes, Beatport, Traxsource and Juno Download.

Press Info :
T. RAUMSCHMIERE (Berlin). In the 90’s, industrial, punk rock and hardcore gave Marco Haas (aka T.Raumschmiere) his first musical direction. In 2003, he was releasing the famous “Monstertruckdriver”, and “The Game Is Not Over (feat. Miss Kittin)” ; the same year, his live and his
own label Shitkatapult were listed in several Reader Poll Top 10s. This was followed by remixes for especially the prestigious Dave Gahan (singer of Depeche Mode, editor’s note) and Goldfrapp. After touring continuously since 2003, Raumschmiere is releasing his next Ep, called “The Rave Is On” (TR.I.O.) in November 2010 on the record label from Bordeaux Boxon Records.

The “T.R.I.O.” EP has three electro tracks : “The Rave Is On”, “Entertain Me”, and “Duster”. Every music addict will be happy with this pack, as the two first ones have been composed especialy for the dancefloor, and “Duster” being more experimental. T.Raumschmiere, who is a really big name on the electronic music scene, is coming back with these three new and awesome productions, each track being a real piece of art. Julien Minet (Boxon owner, editor’s note) is a long time fan of T.Raumschmiere’s work; then Marco and Julien got along really well with each other (that was back in 2009, in France, during the Free Music Festival in Montendre, and at the Travesti Monsters party at Bikini in Toulouse, editor’s note); so it became obvious for them to concretize this project, and we thanks them a lot ! To listen, and listen again : you will be addicted a long time to these tracks…

digital release also has sometimes the name “T.R.I.O & Remixes”

Info :
Underwater techno. That could be ‘Leaning Over Backwards’ in just two words. Tobias Freund’s debut album for Ostgut Ton also serves as the long player introduction for his tobias. moniker, giving a fascinating and profound insight into his special world of music and sound science. Having been involved in the music industry since 1980, you could easily fill tomes with his work and creations. Formerly based in Frankfurt am Main and for a few years now happily living in Berlin, tobias. started his quest in sound as a synth experimentalist with a Korg MS20, worked a day job as a studio engineer (for acts as diverse as Milli Vanilli and more recently Aerea Negrot, Ellen Allien, Nina Kraviz and Heartthrob amongst others), remixed, released as Pink Elln or in collaborative projects Sieg über die Sonne and NSI. (together with Max Loderbauer) and runs his own label Non Standard Productions. But that’s beside the point, even if tobias. does bring friends, old and new, on his debut album. Named after a lyric from a Wire song, ‘Leaning Over Backwards’
suggests the feeling one gets when doing exactly that, bent over a rail, testing how long you can possibly do it before gravity takes hold, toppling you over. In this case it can last forever. Amongst other things, tobias. renounces the ubiquitous dictate of computer sequencing. Reduced to a plain recording device, the computer makes way for the classic drum machines Roland TR 808 and a Korg Mini Pops. Known for their stubbornness, the character brought by unpredictability wins over standardised convenience. Tobias’ sound is rewarded with a dynamism that doesn’t forego attention to detail, accuracy of sound or thoughtfulness.

Rooted in jam sessions with just beats and FX units, the mood and sound of the tracks on ‘Leaning Over Backwards’ follow these parameters. The results are sometimes unswerving club tracks (‘Skippy’, ‘Party Town’, ‘We Stick to the Plan’), occasionally an ambient or drone-like atmosphere (‘Zero Tolerance’, ‘Observing The Hypocrites’) or a hybrid of the two, as in the title track. All united by the imagery of “being underwater” that is apparent from the start with ‘Girts’. Take ‘The Key’ for instance; produced in Santiago by Tobias and his long standing colleague Uwe Schmidt aka
AtomTM, you can listen to splintered beats and gloomy pads submerging into the Drexciyan depths. It all comes full circle with ‘Now I Know’. Both fantastical and fey, tobias. once again makes use of Aerea Negrot’s (from Hercules & Love Affair) powerful vocals. As before on ‘Party Town’ or ‘Zero Tolerance’, Negrot is the icing on the cake, turning the album closer into a yearning slice of Blade Runner-esque pop.

‘Leaning Over Backwards’ insists and bewitches with its nonconformity and almost frightening idiosyncrasy. tobias. creates a style of techno that is as far away from the steam roller kicks and traditional rules of functionalism as it is from being purely synthetic. Techno as perpetual motion machine, both above and underwater.

Press Info :
Berghain’s Marcel Fengler presents the fifth installment in the club’s expanding mix series. A central resident at the club since its early days, Fengler continually and consistently fires up the Berghain floor with his vast and exemplary collection of Techno, House and Electronica.

Opening with the eerie echoes of Emika’s „Count Backwards“ – treated by Marcel Dettmann – we quickly discover the first exclusive gem of the mix as Peter Van Hoesen’s incredible „Axis Mundi“ sets the tone from here on in: full, lively and not short on drama.

Pushing into darker zones, Regis’ typically haunting mix of Tommy Four Seven’s „G“, or Luke Slater’s L.B Dub Corp mix of Fengler’s own „Thwack“ segue with more classic cuts from Secret Cinema’s „Timeless Altitude (Minneapolis Mix)” and Ratio’s “Doublefeature”.

Fengler keeps the surprise element alive while maintaining tension and pressure throughout. Gerd’s tripping „Time and Space (Duplex Southside Mix)“ mixes wonderfully with UK bass veteran Seiji’s „More of You“ in a glorious mid point throw-down. The mighty Claude Young teams up with production partner Takasi Nakajima on „Think Twice“, which then swells to pick up the tension in a beautiful piano-led hypnotising moment.

With the focus on more current developments in more edgy Techno and House, combined with a hearty nod to the past, the mix continues with newcomers like Puresque showing promise, alongside a weighty new Ben Sims track, and the pounding filtered glory of Vril’s „UV“ – another exclusive for the mix.

Marcel includes a new track that heads straight for the floor with „Sphinx“, while men of the moment Skudge put forward „Man On Wire“. The slow burning house of Reagenz’ „The Labyrinth“ leads us into a psychedelic game of funk, dub and abstraction as the mix winds down.

Before drawing to a close with Convextion aka E.R.P’s stunning „Vapor Pressure“, we’re treated to a UK house classic by 20:20 Vision’s „Future Remembrance (Livestyle Mix)“, in all its analog glory.

In Berghain 05, Marcel Fengler has proved filling floors doesn’t have to be about ticking boxes. This mix is a perfect example of the type of dexterity, sensitivity and scope he possesses as a DJ.

Review (5/5 stars):
2011 is the year of Marcel’s breakthrough. I am sure.

He released excellent stuff on Ostgut Ton and Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver (#1, #2).

And now he delivers the next instalment of the famous Berghain mix compilation series. It is a great mix… That’s the way we know Marcel playing at Berghain and love him. Nice track selection and perfect mixing. Definitely the mix cd of 2011!
