no light at the end of the tunnel. no helping hand to pull you out of the hole. no second chances. no god to cure this deadly disease. no heaven to save your soul after your final seconds... hope will hold on, but in the end, death shall claim it. all this, we understand a little more, day by day.
we will experience our absolute zero, and the stages of life that come as close. we think that we will never recover and that we are not strong enough to fight against it. our immaculate, peaceful souls, that we begin our lives with, start to bleed, and slowly get torn into, bit by bit by the cold hard truth that breaks our protective walls. we learn to handle and accept this even as pieces of us shatter and die every time a little bit more inside us. to give light, we must endure burning. but what if everything we are able to burn is gone?
there is no other way... we are falling apart a bit more, every day.

it is a big temptation - whilst striving to place oneself on the map - to favour and repeat established structures and norms in order to gain fortune, fame and power. to cripple a work of art under pressure of commercial success and to trade the uniqueness of a creative spark for an egoistic idea means using a calculating mind to overrule art and emotions. but this pulse of an artist is not his mind but his heart with which he exposes his energy and vibration through frequencies. for this reason there is only one way which retains the creation in its innocent spontaneous form in order to stay true to its inspirational core. the path of resistance! (johannes heil)

chicago dj and producer olin follows up the debut release on his new record label, boundary movement, with tpi featuring four diverse cuts. up-tempo electro, moody minimalism, old-school melodies, and chugging deep house all woven seamlessly. the a side begins with �tpi,� an exercise in minimalism and micro-detail. unmistakably olin�s own, insistent synth stabs keep time while needlepoint percussion keeps the ear guessing. if you thought olin�s palette was limited to techno and house, a2 �corsaren� will prove you wrong � this is pitch-perfect electro in a classic style, a slow-building interplay of sci-fi synthesizers wrapped around icy cool call-and-response kicks and handclaps. b1 �thanks rob� is bom02�s most straightforward cut � and one of its best. building momentum slowly across its eight-minute runtime, �thanks rob� impresses as the larger-than-life bass swell hits. the dancefloor will be rapt � proceed carefully. b2 �hyssop,� feeling like it comes from a similar vintage as �corsaren,� might have been called �ambient techno� decades ago, but its upwardly mobile percussion makes it feel as at home in a club as it does in the chill-out room. it�s just the thing to close out this broad-spectrum record. � chris zaldua
