CRISTIAN VOGEL (tresor/nu future…) returns with his 14th studio album THE INERTIALS in june on Berlins Shitkatapult Label. Simultanously Shitkatapult releases a 12” vinyl featuring two club tracks (ENTER THE TUB, LUCKY CONNOR) from the album plus 2 unreleased bonus tracks (DECONSTRUCTIONS, VOIDSTER) to feed and please and beware the club tradition of this outstanding producer. As usual Vogel delivers high end sound and productions of great efficiency, dark poems from the high end. Besides the usual actual and hyped stuff these tracks re-new Cristian Vogel´s art of noize and beat. Cold beauty of clear music.

Press Info:
CRISTIAN VOGEL’s fourteenth album is already a classic. Every track is subtly shaped, full of nuances without drifting into gimmickry. Every sound is efficient and precise. With THE INERTIALS, Vogel nonchalantly provides the soundtrack for industrial wasteland. This is clubmusic beyond any genre which, while bearing the spirit of Industrial Techno, is way above the Rave-dogma which dominated Industrial Techno during the 90s. The dark side of high end production, as you may call it. With a great sense of distinct melody and harmony, Vogel as a producer roughs up the digital surfaces. This is how he adds depth and body to his music, which is something a lot of techno-related productions are lacking. With CRISTIAN VOGEL, digital clarity has patina and at the same time sounds hazy.

At a predominantly moderate tempo, Vogel, a perfectionist, cleverly combines creaky sounds with swinging rhythms. With a knowledge of Dubstep, but unimpressed by the short-lived micro-trends of clubmusic, he has assembled the newest standards of digital production on THE INERTIALS. The lively “Seed Dogs” with it’s unexpected tempo changes; the surprising “Lucky Connor” with it’s marvellously complex rhythm; the hypnotic, incredibly groovy “Snakes In The Grass”, appearing like a confident nod towards Minimal techno; the mysterious “Deepwater”, creating suspense from the very first moment like a John Carpenter soundtrack. The list could be continued indefinitely. Every track is timeless and rests within itself. “Todays Standard Form” is a syntheziser arpeggio fantasy with no beats at all, a prelude for the midi piano, if you like. And with “Dreams Of Apolonia”, dub for the first time is not just insinuated, but actually emerging in it’s own right.

In the late 80s in the U.K., CRISTIAN VOGEL with the “Cabbage Head Collective”, became engaged in the production of electronic music. He completed his studies of 20th century music at the University of Sussex. In the mid-nineties he began to deliver blueprints for Minimal and Wonky techno. His first Album “Beginning to understand” was released on MILLE PLATEAUX in 1994, the following twelve longplayers on labels such as Tresor and Novamute. In collaboration with JAMIE LIDELL, he founded SUPER COLLIDER years before Lidell gained recognition as a solo artist. At the same time, he provided work as a composer of contemporary dance and film music. Vogel did remixes for the likes of RADIOHEAD, MAXIMO PARK, CHICKS ON SPEED and THOM YORKE. As a programmer and theorist in the field of digital sound research he is just as much at home as he is as composer and songwriter.

Press Info:
SHRUBBN!! have been around for a cool 15 years … and that’s exactly how long we have been waiting for this particular beauty: their debut album. After all, buddies Ulli Bormans (aka SCHIERES) and Marco Haas (aka T.RAUMSCHMIERE) prefered to sling out the odd SHRUBBN!! track on different, almost forgotten labels whenever they felt like getting it together. Now, the duo surprise and delight us with a veritable gem of a record. Their long distance debut ECHOS follows an upbeat scientific credo of art for text. Pushing the computer aside, Ulli and Marco crafted fourteen pulsating, deep and dubby tracks caught up between ambient and beats – a thick, full sound, a call of the deep with plenty of passion for reverb and bass.

Numbering the tracks (instead of real titles) simply made sense as they follow the logic of a meandering session or, rather, a true exploration, executed with plenty of exactitude. And this time around, it’s all in the detail, starting with the release format: for ECHOS, SHRUBBN!! say no to the prevalent CD format in favour of a truly stunning vinyl edition – a pleasure for both ears and eyes.

Together with Berlin video experts TRANSFORMA, the duo also came up with a clever live concept that translates SHRUBBN!!’s music to imagery (for a quick glimpse of this aesthetic tour de force, take a peek at TRANSFORMA’s crisp cover art). And the latter have been busy carving their own niche in the world of art – slow and steady, yet entirely uncompromising – with works ranging from APPARAT’s stunning club set to their own music film SYNKEN and countless of concepts or performances for landmark festivals like Club Transmediale. Backed by this inspired gang, SHRUBBN!! now give us an overall oeuvre of darkest imagery and heavy sounds bathed in ominous crashing waves.

P. S.: Look out for their one-sided pre-release 12” of ECHOS (Shitkatapult) remixed by THE ORB – it’s a full-force adventure of a track based on SHRUBBN!!’s entire album, courtesy of ALEX PATERSON and THOMAS FEHLMANN.

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”
