BLOCK 3000EP
|
City Centre Offices announces its last ever release. Operating on the fringes between delicate electronica and full-on disco-fueled dancefloor extravaganza, Michael Zorn and Hans Möller, as Boy Robot, bridged gaps between genres and scenes. Afterwards, they simply moved on, shelving the project. Around 2010, Zorn contacted Thaddeus Herrmann (formerly of Herrmann & Kleine) with the idea to work on some tracks. It did not take long to finish them, but for reasons both of them do not remember, the results never got released. Until now. This is the final transmission. Both of Boy Robot and City Centre Offices.

LP version. Electronica aimed firmly for the dancefloor, Rotten Cocktails is Hans Möller (Boulderdash) and Michael Zorn's second album. Assembling disco-stompers, French filterhouse, and rocking robotics, Boy Robot merge their unique approach towards melody and sound with sometimes straight, sometimes dreamy beats, converting every dancefloor into a mosh-pit of the freshest electronica ever heard.

Electronica aimed firmly for the dancefloor, Rotten Cocktails is Hans Möller (Boulderdash) and Michael Zorn's second album after 2003's smasher Glamorizing Corporate Lifestyle (CCO 016 CD/LP). Boy Robot is the meeting of two ex-software industry solo artists who have forged a musical history all their own. This release is all about power, about the punch of a hefty bass drum, about the type of energy thought to be impossible in what we call electronica. Assembling disco-stompers, French filterhouse, and rocking robotics, Boy Robot merge their unique approach towards melody and sound with sometimes straight, sometimes dreamy beats, converting every dancefloor into a mosh-pit of the freshest electronica ever heard. Rotten Cocktails is a mélange that will never let you down: let's drink to that.

"It had to happen. Imagine two successful solo artists, Michael Zorn and Hans Möller (used to be a member of the highly successful Swedish project Boulderdash), just happening to meet at work in Berlin and realising that they share not only an interest in music, but, more specifically, a love for that particular tinge of electronic music that finds itself surrounded by a dubby effervescence. The 10 tracks on board manage to encapsulate and dissect a pool of sub-generic ideas that scarcely make an appearance on a single body of work, perfectly fusing the musical signatures that each artist has perfected over the course of the last few years. From an unfolding rigid digital riddim that Mr Zorn structures so well, a cascade of twilight melodies weaving itself in and out of the ride to a ballearic vibe that seems deliciously out of place, like a tranquilised, late night version of post-rave blues. If you're familiar with the work of both of them, you will be instantly aware of the magic at play. Over the last couple of years, Zorn has acquired a reputation for deep technoid tracks, focusing on complex rhythms. Möller fits perfectly into that image, adding his own vision of percussive structure and melodies, playing the melodica and the kalimba imbuing the whole album with a more acoustic edge."
