A special collaboration with Partout records from Paris. Break 3000 digged deep in the archives for this one and found some old unreleased music on his dusted DAT tapes ranging from 1993 to 2002. Now released for the first time ever on vinyl 12 and digital. Human and Komputerok were produced in the same project in his Maastricht bedroom studio back in 2002 and reflect to great influence artists like David Caretta and The Hacker had on his sound back then, a mix of banging Electro Clash meets EBM, 80s Proto House. Overdrive opens the B-side and a window to the late 90s. This track was produced together with his classic Plastique People around 98/99 and was an instrumental track luckily found again, Break 3000 added a new vocal and made a fresh shorter Edit. Thanks to the excellent mastering by Salz Music this one is back in todays sound standards. The next pearl from the past is a real favourite and is the oldest track featured on this EP. Ambizone was recorded back in 93/94 and marks the transition from his first musical project Amazone to becoming Break 3000. Recorded in an amazing analog studio in Venray Netherlands where Break 3000 worked on a full album. More music will follow from these old sessions! Stay tuned. Closing out with Nature, a true hommage to the early Rephlex sound and produced around 97/98. Acts like Bochum Welt, Darcangelo and -Ziq had an immense influence on Break 3000 and are a reason why he started to make more electro orientated music. All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.
Two vocal tracks and two instrumentals. The classic EP structure reflects the class act that is Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti. Italoconnection are back at the Bordello weaving their synthesizer magic. And those analogue lines are what immediately wash over the listener in Like A Star. Crisp percussion and sailing melodies break to a glorious hook before Venturas unmistakable voice takes hold. Paying homage to Moroders From Here To Eternity, Italoconnection deliver a vocoder dipped love affair as smouldering vocals pitch ever higher. The instrumental strips back all lyrics, but allows the breathy keys to remain and keep that human touch amidst the addictive chords and rich textures. Bold machine brass introduces Make It Real. These blasts form the melodic backbone for this ballad to self-belief where Venturas impassioned words are impeccably coupled with Gozzettis sparkling synthwork. That synthwork comes to the fore in the finale. With lyrics pared back, the machines sing a different song as that energy packed melody is charged with even more intensity. Quality through and through, as always with Italoconnection.

When writing Storyteller I wanted to capture the essence of deserts mystique and beauty. Theres something about that vast, open space - the stillness, the raw power - that really spoke to me. I wanted to take listeners on a sonic journey through that landscape: drifting across dunes beneath a star-studded sky, deeper into the heart and soul of the desert. Inner Zone and Mojave write into that same story. The profound silence of the desert, the whispering wind and the ever-changing patterns of the sand dunes really sparked my creative fire.
And then comes Sunday loved by some, hated by others, yet always a special day. A moment to relive the sensations of the night before, when the DJ set has ended… or better yet, to keep the music alive in an afterhour journey.

DYSTORTION Extrawelts Latest and Longest-Brewing Album Lands This December on Cocoon In this beautiful world marked by rising chaos, sometimes the simplest way to escape its troubles is through sonic relief. Germanys renowned electronic duo Extrawelt will offer exactly that with their 5th full-length album, DYSTORTION, via Cocoon Recordings this December. For over two decades, the humble duo behind Extrawelt, who shy away from making music for clicks, have been a steadfast presence in electronic music. Known as serious studio and tour-focused artists who craft timepiece albums, each a work of enduring craft, that go on to create atmospheric, out-of-the-box live acts, theyve been shaping and redefining electronica since their first release. DYSTORTION is their most diverse and evocative album to date. Imagined over six years and shaped by a world in flux through COVID, political upheavals, social media, and AI, it reflects the contrasts and twists weve all felt while offering surges of serenity and hope. From brooding tension to playful relief, it moves through different states in an evolved Extrawelt manner. The albums opening credit, Grand Départ, as if a cinematic prelude, invites us into a world of creeping bass, an explicitly Extrawelt sound thats synonymous with the anti-genre genre they work within. The albums second track, Clapland, sees Extrawelt joining forces with Jimi Jules, a name synonymous with excellence in electronic music, creating a rare collaboration that is felt in every note. Soon, the mood shifts into softer melodies as heard in Surrounded By Miracles, Hope Sounds Good, and Sir Stringalot, which bring bright euphorics to balance the darker moments in an album echoed by industrial influences. Later, as Dystortion (the albums title track) unfolds, were drawn into something few electronic artists can create: raw emotion. This is a gritty landscape as reflective as it is pulsing, glitchy, intense, and richly textured. DYSTORTION is a reflection of a complex, divided world, carried through dramatically with Extrawelts signature techno tension. Like the world right now, it is full of contradictions, surprises, and moments of introspection, an essential listen for fans of mature electronic music that may or may not need a reminder of why, after 20 years, were still listening.
