The/Das ist ein aus der Formation Bodi Bill hervorgegangenes Musikprojekt von Fabian Fenk (Gesang) und Philipp Koller (Elektronik, Mix), das 2012 in Berlin gegrŸndet wurde. Der Bandname soll eine neutrale Bedeutung haben und in keine bestimmte Richtung verweisen. Ihren Sound nennen die beiden Techno tenderness, was in etwa chilliger Afterhour-Musik bzw. New Romantic House entspricht. Diesen fanden die geneigten Hšrer auf bislang Ÿber einer Handvoll Veršffentlichungen, darunter der LP -Freezer- von 2014. Dessen innig ersehnter Nachfolger erscheint auf dem italienischen, von DJ Tennis gefŸhrten Label Life And Death. WŠhrend bei frŸheren Releases eher der Homelistening-Aspekt betont wurde, gibt das ProduzentenDuo auf -Exit Strategies- verstŠrkt clubfreundliche Seiten von sich preis. DafŸr vermengen die Zwei ziemlich geschickt, geschmackssicher und facettenreich ursprŸnglichen Techno Berliner PrŠgung und organische Soundschleifen miteinander und wŸrzen das Ganze mit verspielten kinematografischen Details. Ein aufwŠndiges Verfahren, dessen Umsetzung von losen Skizzen Ÿber die ersten Arrangements und immer wieder neuen †berarbeitungen bis zum finalen Mix im Studio rund drei Jahre dauerte.

Sales Information:

Berlin duo The/Das are to release their sophomore album, Exit Strategies, on Life And Death in September 2017, with a first EP from it, ›Drug Dilling‹, coming in July. The absorbing 12-tracker is the result of a period of searching that finds the new line-up of Fabian Fenk and Philipp Koller combine multiple ideas, layers, fragments and sounds and refine their distinct idea of techno tenderness. It makes for a soothing and escapist 60 minute listen that works as well at home, on headphones, as it does loud in the club. The new album is a perfect blend of the pair’s Berlin techno roots with a devotion to organic sounds and cinematic details that makes it a real trip for the head, heart and heel from start to finish. More house influenced than their previous works on labels like Sinnbus, Krakatau and DJ Tennis’s Life And Death, their artistic vision ties it all together as the duo continues to push each other, bounce ideas back and forth and eventually distill them into something fresh and new. The album itself was an unhurried affair made from various sketched starting points collected over three years of research. Influenced from their travels, a decade of DJ gigs and shared musical experiences, they then headed into the studio for three intense months to arrange, rework, jam out new material, edit and collate all their sounds and ideas. Finally, they spent three weeks behind the mixing desk, shaping the whole lot into one complete form. Made using an array of drum machines and with a new focus on sampling, the album has experimental loops, sounds and rhythms
