Mistress Recordings welcomes Anthony Rother. For more than 25 years, the legendary producer from Offenbach, Germany aggregated a vast musical canon that reflects his unique career as a sound researcher exploring the aesthetics far beyond the boundaries of electro, techno, and pop music. While Mistress 12 (HU-MR12-SH) features completely new electro techno endeavors including "Technic Electric" from DVS1's Fabric 96 mix (FABRIC 191CD, 2017), the second 12-inch is a re-release of Rother's Datapunk classic "Back Home" that comes with new vocal-centered interpretations, a never-ending acapella loop, and two club edits by DVS1.

DTPLTD 013EP
|
Two tracks from Anthony Rother's Popkiller 2 album. "Mother" has an audibly compressed sound, using the unmistakable sounds of his singing voice once again, giving the Rother-style a brand new facet. "Cinema" is an abstract, minimalist party track: as funky and rocking as it is elegant, held up by a video-game tune and reaching its climax with a filter reverb.

Frankfurt-based producer Anthony Rother presents Popkiller II, the follow-up to 2004's Popkiller. After freeing himself from his last remaining existing constraints, Rother re-designed his website and turned Datapunk into an exclusive outlet for his own material. Where the musical journey will go in the future is revealed by "Big Boys," a track in a rocky electro style that has already united the pop world with the club world in an innovative way with the Popkiller sound of 2004. And yet somehow, Rother manages to not only tie in the ten songs with the Popkiller spirit, but to also breathe new life into his aesthetic. The first song "Night" is already a link and constitutes the counterpoint to Popkiller's predecessor "Day," at the same time. Similarly, instrumentals such as "Cinema," "Skyline" and "Gates" reflect Rother's musical range from sci-fi to abstract techno in an exceptionally diverse way. However, what makes Popkiller 2 distinctive on the underground music scene are its vocal-centric themes such as "Rotation," "Mother" (as a follow-up to the Popkiller hit "Father") or the dramatic "Grab Your Life." Practically vocoded unfiltered, Rother goes all out with his vocals once again and convinces with melodic tracks full of emotion, raw beauty and irrepressible energy. Completely self-determined and artistically concentrated once again, with Popkiller 2 we are the ear-witnesses to an Anthony Rother who once again produces music that is fully free.

GIGOLO 247EP

The legendary Anthony Rother presents "Hot Chocolate In The Milky Way," a journey through a melodic soundscape of beats and open chords, recalling the work of John Carpenter -- the inspiration behind Rother's formative work. "Green Star Drifts" is a techno track with more than a hint of electro. Both tracks explore both ends of the wide range that encompasses Rother's body of work.

Includes an unmixed bonus CD: 2 CDs for the price of one! Joining the ranks of Dave Clarke, DJ Hell, Joris Voorn, Steve Bug, Shinedoe, Adam Beyer, Technasia, and Deetron who have all been firm favorites at Belgium's illustrious techno mecca, Fuse, Anthony Rother presents a live mix to add some German techno spice to the series, taking us on a journey through the new stripped-down sounds of techno. For over 17 years, Anthony Rother has been working, playing, living and representing electro and techno. With his club label Datapunk, he has been transforming the aesthetics of electro into today's music for several years now. Some extraordinary singles, like productions for Sven Väth's Cocoon label, and Rother's fifth studio album Popkiller prove the timelessness of his sound. As the head of Datapunk and Stahl, Rother has been taking his production skills from the dancefloor to more experimental realms and back again, as he develops his DJ skills using a laptop, mixer and controller. With his first mix for Fuse, he tackles the minimally-edged dubs of Wolfgang Voigt's Studio 1, the unmistakable sound of Mad Mike/UR, the deep, dream-like grooves of Ricardo Tobar, Florian Senfter's (aka Zombie Nation) John Starlight alter ego and Pig & Dan's chugging minimalism, while taking it all back to the highly-polished electro stylings of Frank Kusserow's remix of La Rez's "Wo Kommen Wir Her." Other artists include: Boys Noize, Leke Da Loco, John Kelvin & Darmon D, Utku Dalmaz, Fetish &Me, Freakslum, Rother vs. Telekraft, Tony Rohr & Alexi Delano, and Baustein.

Since 1990, the Detroit Underground Resistance collective around "Mad Mike" Banks has been a profound sociological network in sound. Remixes by the group are rare, and here they take on Anthony Rother's 2005 single When The Sun Goes Down. On the "Ain't No Sunshine" remix, the bass drum comes in after more than two minutes, contrasting dramatically with the "Flash Light Remix," whose psychoactively wandering chord hook will astonish both Detroit traditionalists and contemporary sound researchers.

This is part three of the Datapunk label's We Are Punks, CD compilation series, curated by Anthony Rother and including 4 previously-unreleased tracks. Almost a year has now gone by since the highly-acclaimed second edition of the Datapunk CD anthology -- high time, therefore, that the label states the position of its sound once more in the year 2008. We Are Punks 3 starts with something of a sensation: The remix of the 2005 Rother single "When The Sun Goes Down" is by none other than the Underground Resistance collective, which is headed up by "Mad Mike" Banks. The first tones that mark the cautious start to the remix, which is only available on this CD, and in which the bass drum only kicks in after two minutes, demonstrates that something interesting is going on at Datapunk right now. Also, in the trusted hands of main mix-man DJ Matthias Gustke, aka Ziel 100, an almost 80-minute long psychoactive cocktail has been created which impresses not least because the world of sounds continually avoids any clear classification of style. Unusually low key at the start, Bremen Herzblut and Spiel-Zeug-Schallplatten record producer Stephan Bodzin, and Patrick Zigon, known for his remixes for Cocoon, Treibstoff and Great Stuff, formulate a modern understanding of deep and harmonic techno which works really well, whether played in the nightclub setting or elsewhere. Later on, however, the energy levels increase considerably, and those who don't dance themselves into a sweat with the acoustic loss of control by Sven Väth and Anthony Rother ("S'Kränkt'), Hell + Rother's cryonic "Bodyfarm" inferno, the 2008 acid by Pig & Dan ("Dream Of Bells") or the tribal percussive dub-tech inferno of "Temperature" by Marcus Schmal aka Broombeck (previously known through his ambient project Guardner), surely aren't into techno. Other artists include: Loco Dice, Telekraft and Frank Kusserow.

TELEKRAFT 001CD
|
This is Germany-based electro artist/producer Anthony Rother's first release for the Telekraft label. Even in the fifth year after founding the Datapunk label, Rother still always surprises; he is a scientist whose name permits strange associations between mechatronics and the art world. After his acclaimed releases Popkiller (2004) and Super Space Model (2006), Anthony Rother concentrates fully upon the digital nature of the sounds, not just in the programmatic statement of My Name Is Beuys Von Telekraft. As Rother himself contextualizes, "Especially during the past few years, the aesthetic perception of music has been restricted to an extremely reduced and compromised code, between MP3s, mobile ring tones and modern telecommunication. Beuys von Telekraft adopts this development as his own. It was my aim to use the poor quality of compressed sounds, reduced frequency ranges, lowered sampling rates and strictly digital sounds as a self-sufficient stylistic device, and despite this to produce fat-sounding club music that sounds anything but lo-fi." In terms of content, the lyrics of "My Name Is Telekraft," "Welcome To My Laboratory" and "Girl Construction" -- which are delivered in English as well as in German -- stand in the tradition of the man-machine discourse that was already fascinating Rother on his Psi49net albums at the beginning of the millennium. New, however, with this reference to the golden age of science fiction, is a certain penchant for humorous overstatement. This applies particularly to "Liquid System," the modulated synth hookline of which stretches over 16 whole bars, remaining constantly in motion in its unpredictability, and which will thus burn itself inescapably into the collective memory of the dancefloor. And as if that was not enough, Rother comes up with another top-class musical experiment with the ten tracks on the bonus CD, Geomatrix, a kind of dark film episode of the sound experiments of Beuys von Telekraft. Completely without beats and yet keeping the aesthetic of energetic noises that is so typical of Rother, he designs a future-oriented form of modern ambient without any cuddly lounge aspects. Focused and radical at the same time, "Geomatrix" creates a deeply impressive atmospheric vision of the darker side of the urban experience. As "64 Bit Audio" puts it so nicely, "The system translates reality into frequencies."

TELEKRAFT 001EP

Parallel to the release of the album My Name Is Beuys Von Telekraft, Anthony Rother also thinks about all the vinyl lovers. The vocals on "My Name Is Telekraft" make Beuys von Telekraft into a more than likable sci-fi star. Distinctly more gradual and stripped-down in its formulation, "Digital Vision" is Rother's highly personal idiom of techno between programmer's code, Chicago and Rhine Main.

This is a thrilling foretaste of the third Rother album on Datapunk. "Don't Panic" features vocoder voices and is a unique vision of a futuristic abstraction between techno, disco and electro. The "Dataclash Mix" on the B-side leaves the listener speechless. Going against the grain with extremely surprising noise effects, this mix is tailor-made even for reductionist DJ sets in its psychoactive darkness.

This is part two of the Datapunk label's We Are Punks CD compilation series. Given wings by the outstanding success of the first edition of the anthology as well as the Various Punks Volume A double EP, Anthony Rother and Matthias Gustke aka Ziel 100 once again select the best melodies from the successful label. With over 150 minutes playing time on two completely mixed CDs, the second chapter of We Are Punks is an intensive bridging of the past and future of a label which has defined the sound of modern clubs through a fertilization of techno and electro into a new hybrid. In addition to the compiled Datapunk club hits of the last few months (Anthony Rother's "Moderntronic 3" and "So Good," Billy Nasty's "Iconic Warfare" and/or "Electro Maloquerio," Umek's "Vandal Derivate" or Kiko's "30.1"), many of which appear on CD format for the first time, there are seven exclusive tracks which until now have not been released, which will appear on two vinyl full-lengths at the same time and will anticipate the sound profile of the label for 2008. Particularly worth mentioning are the label debuts of Polish producer Robert M aka Elektro One and Daniel Wilhelm from Hamburg. Robert M's "Elektro Tape" is a prime example of a playful and aggressive version of electronic dance music, which shows an exciting way out of the uniformity of the minimal techno dogma, and the organ sounds of "Alster Dream" by Daniel Wilhelm remain constantly present in the balance of a night dancing away. In addition, Ziel 100 shines with a streamlined bass line feat, while Frank Kusserow provides a sensual balance with his melodramatic "Just A Little Traged" and the tradition of electro comes into its own with a return to the old by Miss Kittin & The Hacker. Finally, in year five of the still-young label history, there is one thing that Datapunk doesn't want under any circumstances: to sit back and mark time. Also includes Artist Unknown, Xenia Beliayeva, Gregor Tresher, Christopher Kah and Internal Sync.

During the past 4 years of its existence, Anthony Rother's Datapunk label has been a massive influence on the aesthetics of electronic dance music in the 21st century with its triumphal procession of electro. In addition to prominent singles and LP releases by Rother, in conjunction with Sven Väth and DJ Hell, among others, as well as landmark productions from Johannes Heil, Artist Unknown, Billy Nasty, Bodzin & Huntemann, Xenia Beliayeva, and many others, a cross-fertilization of techno and electro was cultivated into a new hybrid, which has defined the global sound of the clubs in recent years like nothing else. We Are Punks, now for the first time, integrates the Datapunk singles, which so far have only mostly been available on vinyl, in a comprehensive and completely non-stop mixed CD anthology with over four hours of play time. Rother has taken almost 40 tracks from the label's past, present and future: CD1 and CD2 review the most important moments of the Datapunk history, which is so rich in club hits (including Johannes Heil's "The World"; Väth vs. Rother's "Springlove"; Rother's "Father" and "Punks"), and CD3 looks forward. In addition to some remixes and new tracks, this is an exclusive look at the sound of Datapunk in 2007. One standout example is the remix of the Super Space Model hit "Don't Worry," where Xenia Beliayeva provides a congenial duet with Rother. This compilation also takes a look at some new faces in the punk squad, including Frank Kusserow, Elektrodrei and Kiko. New wave, disco, electro, what-have-you, this is the perfect amalgamation, encompassing the tonal cosmos of the label perfectly. Other artists include: Datapunk Rockstars, Gregor Tresher, Boys Noize, Terence Fixmer and Artist Unknown.

The Moderntronic EP takes a high-contrast journey between binary beeps resolved in subsonic bass pulse and epic harmony baroque with electronic spinet on the A-side, while the B-side holds a likeness to "Popkiller" or "Super Space Model" times. Of course everything remains strictly formatted to the dancefloor despite new, textural sound geometry. The dawn of a new era. Sven Väth and Tiefschwarz have already introduced this to their dancefloors -- why don't you?

This Is Electro combines the most essential tracks of the last eight years produced in the studio by Anthony Rother, the 30-year old best-selling producer from Offenbach. Like no other, Rother shaped the aesthetics of the electro-music genre for years and years with his international ground-breaking releases, precisely because he never stood still; instead he was the pioneer of stylish motorbeats. This landmark development of electro-music will be obvious in the two CD versions of the DVD sets This Is Electro, which, with 28 tracks and over two hours playtime, combine the most important points of Rother's career in completely remixed and digitally remastered versions. In addition to the greatest hits of his albums Simulationszeitalter (2000), Hacker (2002) and the Little Computer People LP Electro Pop (2001), there are a variety of tracks, which have only been available on vinyl up to now and, to some extent, are sought-after collector's items. Additionally, the CDs also include the five unreleased tracks "Mathematik," "Adam & Eve," "Krieg (Little Computer People Remix)," "Forever" and "Luzifer." Not least, a lot of heart and soul has gone into the accompanying DVD. As well as a complete recording of a live set at the Belgian cult club FUSE (Brussels) from November 2003, it also contains video clips of Anthony Rother. The DVD is in European PAL format and may not be compatible with DVD players in the US; region free, 100 minutes.

This is Germany-based electro artist/producer Anthony Rother's fervently anticipated second album on his artistic platform, Datapunk. The first track "Nature" immediately confronts with two diametrically opposed concepts: can one compare the wild aesthetic of nature with the virtually fabricated beauty from the world of supermodels? And where do the psychoactive, rocking electric guitars actually come from? But have no fear, Super Space Model is an uninhibited further development of his highly-acclaimed 2004 album Popkiller, continuing the theme of reciprocal communication and interchange between techno and electro into a new hybrid, which has defined the global sound of the clubs in the last two years like nothing else. And whoever has followed this tonal development (at least in intonations) knows about the outstanding significance of Rother's work in general -- and his Datapunk label in particular -- for the triumphant advance of electro in modern times. The eleven tracks on Super Space Model emerged completely on analogous syntheses in a vast number of feverish, steamy club nights. As Rother himself states, "This time I deliberately decided in favor of analog instruments during the selection of tonal means. Of course, Datapunk flirts with the idea of digitalization as a notion, but the 'punk' ultimately stands above all for artistic freedom. This is also why I see no contradiction here." Tracks such as "Nature," "Don't Worry," "Who Dies?," "Lucifer," and the trance-y "Gott" take up rather unusual and intense electro themes in the context of the club, alongside playfully improvised synthesized lines as in "Space Rock." And of course, also included are typically-Datapunk dance floor fillers that ride far far beyond 2006 into the future sound of techno.

"Life is wonderful. Unexpected words to hear from almost thirty-year old Anthony Rother at the beginning of his fifth studio album. Are they gone, the times of skepticism about the process of independence of technology and its effects on the biosocial systems which had formative influence on his last two albums Simulationszeitalter and Hacker. Or is the new inside orientation in which Rather touches upon themes the family, friendship, or emotion pointing to the most important values on the threshold to the future? And how does the title of the album fit in? OK, curiosity kills cats, video kills the radio star, and copy kills the music industry but who would dare attacking pop culture'? With Popkiller Anthony Rother establishes the format 'artist album' on his latest baby Datapunk -- a label which already transported the aesthetics at Elektro with great success into the here and now with the EP Bad To The Bone/Back Home, and once more, the limits between the often hermetically separated styles of electronic dance music are blurred. 'Some people consider my releases on Datapunk Techno but my roots remain Elektro. For me, this blend of styles makes music simply more interesting at the moment than ever before. I'm really in the mood of getting ready to go. With Popkiller, I have since long reached a point where I cannot estimate how my surrounding will be reacting. I personally have a good feeling with the album, but I'm aware that Popkiller requires a high degree of flexibility, and that is creating a certain tension.'"

"After more than three years, it has finally come true -- Anthony Rother left his first and, so far, last footprints at Sven Vath's label Cocoon Recordings with the opening track for Cocoon's first Label Compilation A in 2000, 552000 under the alias 'Little Computer People'. Now, he presents a 12" record with the telling name Bodytalk, which was exclusively produced for Cocoon Recordings. With 'Come With Me', Mr. Rother invites us politely to follow him and gives one more definition of Elektro in 2003 at the same time. The futuristic sounding track melts the harmonies and beats with Rother-like vocals and sound specials, giving the music a light percussive touch, especially at the end. The flipside brings 'Bodytalk' to your ears and shows a somehow different facet of the artist Anthony Rother -- 'gimme that damn Guitar'. With 'Bodytalk' and 'Come With Me', Anthony Rother has made two tracks which will cause some confusion in the Techno Community for sure."
