ENF 002EP
|
The first new Electro Clash tracks from Break 3000 since 2003! After a string of re-issues of old gems on Italy's Mondo Phase, the Argentinian label Calypso's Dream and his own Electron Feel, Break 3000 is finally back with some new original cuts! The A-side "Electronique" has all the ingredients you would want from a hard-hitting Electro Clash track. EBM style drums and a powerful raw bass line topped with soaring rave leads and pads and added original (Vocoder) vocals by Break 3000 himself. This one is road tested already on dance floors and big systems and a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Second up is the driving "Continua", leaning more towards Break 3000 techno classics like "Flash" and "Fix" this filtered rave lead will make a wild crowd go even wilder. Dark and twisted electro techno at its best. The B-side opens with another aspect of the Break 3000 sound spectrum. In a Detroit meets Rotterdam styled electro setting this song uses a lot of the old sounds, mostly coming from his original EMU sampler used at the time and a great '80s vocal sample gives this track it's title. Closing out this new EP is the wonderful Marcello Giordani from Parma, Italy who build a strong reputation with his Italo Deviance label over the years. He gives the original "Electronique" a great funky "Proto House" bass line in best Bobby Orlando manner, what a brilliant crossover track this one is! With the Vermona drum sounds his -- dark disco meets early house -- jam will certainly be on many DJ's want list. All tracks are mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne. Music, photography and art by Break 3000.

Break 3000 present this special vinyl re-issue of some much sought after electro clash classics from the period 1998-2003. Available on limited red marbled vinyl for the first time again in almost 25 years! After the fast-selling Emolotion EP on Italy's "Mondo Phase" imprint and the The Rise of Poseidon 1 on the Argentinian label Calypso's Dream comes the final chapter of the early '00s electro and electro clash gems produced by Break 3000 while living in Maastricht and Cologne. The first track is a remix made for the legendary Pocketgame label from Germany in 2003 that was run by Maru & Comix, released on the We Are He-Man EP by STR & Tim Tycoon that also featured a stellar Legowelt remix. This one is an absolute belter of a track and to this day is one of Break 3000's favorite tunes he ever produced. Followed by the cool, dark and Cold-Wave'esque electro cut "The Wait" that was released on a massive compilation on Pocketgame that same year called Bonuslevel One: North and South with such amazing artists on it as Steril, Ladytron, Mutron, Nitsch and Gleinser, Hong Kong Counterfeit, and of course the label heads Maru & Comix. The B-side looks back in time even further. "Electric Blue" and "Spacemachinenreise" were released on Meuse Muzique from Maastricht and were on the Maastricht-Liege EP and the Electric Kingdom EP from 2002 and 2003. Lastly "Lectrolite #2" was released on a one-off vinyl release on Break 3000's own Casa Nova imprint in 1999. All tracks have been carefully re-mastered from the original tapes and sound better than ever!

"The Dutchman Peter Gijselers aka Break 3000 runs the label Dirt Crew and Players Paradise together with his friend James Flavour. They released there first Dirt Crew records on My Best Friend and have been releasing regularly on MBF since. In 2005 Peter gave his solo debut under his pseudonym Break 3000 on MBF LTD which was a huge success. 'Lights' delivers a jack tune par-excellence and combines it with Carl Craig-like strings that succeed in to a 13 minute rocker with emotional passages that once again put Break 3000 on the big dance floors! The flipside is a Break 3000 remix of Steve Barnes and Riley Reinhold's track 'Odyssey'. The track is done in a Dirt Crew fashion. It is a 'superfett' production with big basslines and guitars playing the Odyssey theme. A true track for House DJs!"

"A psychedelic highlight once again on the sublabel of MBF, MBF Limited . Break 3000 known for his records on MBF with Adam Kroll and his share on the Dirt Crew project gives us 'Flash'. It is a monumental track, beautiful but at the same time quite deranged and bizarre, a trip on unknown territory . It could as well be a soundtrack for Tarkowskis 'Stalker'. But it's glamorous chords have reminded someone of seals music. So we guess it has that character as well. On the flipside we find a quite smooth and slick house tracks, not as bizarre more nice and almost the opposite. So there is more than one truth in a 'Flash'!"
