The Vinyl Version comes as a gatefold cover. Every producer’s dream is to one day complete and release a full length album. After a string of well received 12″ singles on my own label, Emphasis Recordings, and most recently, on labels like Aesthetic Audio, Machining Dreams, Syncrophone, and Dolly, I thought now is the time to start realizing that dream of the full length album. The idea for the album really started around year 1999 and/or 2000, when I completed the tracks, “Interstice,” “It’s Perceived As Sound,” and “Brink Of Dawn.” When the tracks were done, I felt they were better suited for an album release because I experimented outside of the typical 4/4 dance track. I wanted to experiment with ambient music; like something without a kick drum, or different time signatures, which led me to creating a jazz tune using electronic instruments. “It’s Perceived As Sound” was conceived in that way. But putting an album out during that time would not have garnished the impact that I wanted, since I was still a relatively unknown artist. So I put the tracks aside. Over the last decade, I worked on many more 12″ singles to get my name out there, while still working on tracks that I thought would suit the album. Tracks like “Eternal” and “Heat Burst,” produced back in 2011, help add to this album some of that Chicago/ Detroit vibe that I’ve been known for. As I was getting close to finishing the album, I was thinking which label should release it? The first thing that came to my mind was Smallville. Last year I read two interviews on blogs featuring Smallpeople, a.k.a. Julius Steinhoff and Just Von Ahlefeld, who also run the label and store out of Hamburg.
