with fokus marcel fengler extracts himself far from the boundaries of a conventional dj/producer debut

with a previous outing on broke recordings, affinity is a great new hope in the world of tear-out. -the andromeda strain - smacks of huge production skills, immediately hitting the big anthemic sound that defines hardcore beats.

>night falls<, has the potential to become a summer-hymn, awakening reminiscences of the old days, creating a more epic and filigree atmosphere. the taster single for booka shade s soon to be released second album >movements< works with a spine-tingling trance riff over scuffled, hazy beats and a strong story-telling bassline. on >trespass 06<, arno and walter delve deeper into pared back club material: a follow up to the experimental track >trespass< which they produced back in 1995 for their then label, touché, the 2006 track dispenses with infectious melodies and hooks, following instead a linear, tribal influenced rhythm

a.r.c. soundtracks is the audio/visual project of k.craig and david armes. dereliction//mirror is the duoÕs third release, following on from a debut album, archive: volume one (little crackd rabbit) and a cassette release for sacred tapes, from a shattered beam. dereliction//mirror was created on-residency at salford s islington mill, home to gnod, sacred tapes and many other noise/experimental musicians and labels. it is an audio/visual piece that uses the semi-derelict attic spaces as both inspiration and source material. focussing on the notion of ruins and their potential for reappropriation, dereliction//mirror combines a dense, multi-layered sound-world with ritualistic visuals to create an immersive, hypnotic work. this new film and soundtrack takes us into a bleak auditory realm of post-industrial structures and traces the role of the body within these liminal spaces. strained harmonics and industrial, discordance mesh with veiled rhythms and spoken-word narrative to create a heavy, static energy to both sound and visuals.

fokus ist mit elf abwechslungs- und detailreichen tracks das produkt, welches innerhalb dreier intensiver monate in dem berliner studio von fengler entstand. das klangkonzept fŸr sein album, die seine liebe fŸr ausgefallene elektronik, abstrakte melodien, brachiale strukturen und ergreifende bassfrequenzen darstellt, Ð ist das resultat eines sorgfŠltig erlesenes und intensives hšrerlebnis.
