a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

berlin s miro pajic has an extended history with his multitude of techno releases and alias. >data devils< showcases his modern talents and ear for the dancefloor. begin with the original creations >bubble trouble< and >data devils<. hypnotic and quirky digital pathways into an often hidden soul of berlin and electronic dance music. both cuts snap the groove and rise to the occasion grabbing the listener with the keyboard workouts and the dancer with his slick backbeats. the return of john selway(semblance factor/tronic) to tora is an epic and massive adventure. selway crafts the title cut into his own, building with layers before he unleashes a frenzy that will not go unnoticed. promo of the remix is already in the hands of top jocks (cristian smith, beyer,hawtin, abe duque) and is primed to be a memorable fall highlight
