Sales Information:

Even though I make repetitive music, our motto since day one has been to ‘challenge ourselves.’ Ed Banger records is 10 years old this year. Strafe “Set it off” is 30 years old… I wanted to make something influenced by the very early years of my love story with electronic music. Thunderbird Gerard spitted it perfectly, adding his twist and took this track to another dimension. While everybody is going back to disco (I send my love to Breakbot), I still feel the need for something darker and harder. Gesaffelstein & The Hacker’s protégé MAELSTROM was #1 on the list as my older brother forced me to like Front 242 when I was 14. MAELSTROM delivered the perfect remix, for those who know Baalsaal in Hamburg or Hotel Shangai in Essen let’s pretend it’s 3am and dance. When PARRIS MITCHELL emailed me it made my day. Following the Daft Punk adventure from Chicago, he knew what’s up. For those who don’t remember, PARRIS is responsible for the Dance Mania classic “Ghetto Shout Out!” who later influenced the Daft’s “Teachers". Feeling the Dance Mania and Kraftwerk vibes in his rework took me back to the time when we were record shopping. Yes… this record is full of nostalgia. “THIS SONG” can be seen as the dark side of the Rainbow man. But having fun with my Sidstation, getting some more tattoos, listening to Kenny Dope and asking my Australian mate Andrew Woodhead to sing was fun. Yes, sad songs make me happy. XAVIER DE ROSNAY (half of Justice, for the ones from Mars) told me this track should have been more “minimal".
