when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon

bekeschus is a new project in eintakts artist portfolio. the brothers benjamin and sander present here their first release called >dieser moment<. this ep is a combination of moody electronic styles containing 4 tracks floating between deep, dub, and dirty. the songs connect modern music-to-the-floor with timeless sounds and arrangements that both touch inside and move forward. sound inspirations derive from numerous movements of pre and post millennium artificial sound scapes. especially, early club sessions in berlin since 2000 shaped the brothers view and interpretation of the input and output of electronic culture. >dieser moment< stands for an audiophile time document of their development, and at the same time awareness of >this moment<.in the year 2000 the brothers started to engage their selves in djing...
