Come one, come all!
Beings equipped with upper limbs who, at least once, have kept your hands high with open palms, in ecstasy, in the dark of a dancefloor.
This is for you. Bipeds who love to move limbs and whatever else to the right beat.
For you. Nostalgics of sweaty, shared nights, in front of a DJ. In ecstatic empathy. In a club, a rave, a party, a room. Anywhere. With closed eyes. Observing massive patterns cut with scalpels. Electro-digital bubbles made of obese yet genuine basses.
Hear! Hear!
Ears trained for borderless and uncompromising electronic. This is for you. For those who want to tune into the magnificent progressive destiny of the electro-techno-IDM scene or however you prefer to call it.
Because this Orchestra plays joyously, dancing and yet thoughtful. And it produces bubbles that contain the past, present, and future of many sounds made with digital instruments. Changing bubbles that possess resonances of Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Carl Craig, Faithless…
Bubbles that preserve what good has come from the techno, trance, electro, ambient, glitch constellations… Bubbles that perhaps could only be born in Berlin. A mutating city where dance Teutonism sprouts in small and big venues (Tresor). Where the muse Ellen "Berlinette" Allien whispers and enchants for quite some time. And her voice rests perfectly on the techno-constructive Apparatus of Sascha Ring.
A successful duo for a consistent, eclectic, and rare album, never boring. An album pervaded with minimal tracks, unusual breakbeats and a tendency to surprise. An album that includes at least 4 gems. "Way out" permeated by a dream-pop melancholy for which Royksopp (and also New Order) would go to great lengths. "Bubble" placid and sensual, where our heroine's voice evokes unfathomable desires. "Metric" built of oblique grooves and sound accidents that make it ideal for a spy story. "Floating points" with an almost industrial pace that perhaps wouldn't displease the survivors of Pankow and Front 242.
In the heart of what we call Europe beats a robust and fascinating pulse. A pulse that unites body and mind. A style, not just musical. Hypnotic electech pop is the name of the beat, for those who wish to enjoy it.

06 Sleepless (03:36)
Sleepless on the highway
Rushing through the fields
Translation keeps me wide awake
Tomorrow is not here
Floating in white space
New codes feeling strange
Sky is wide and bright
Daylight burns my eyes
11 Leave Me Alone (03:17)
A valley of ice, I see
The fire is close, but far to reach
The sun is rare
And the moon is green
On Mars I wanna be, surprises for the brain
Too many choices, you got
Keep my eyes on you, but no time
Too many messages
On my phone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So hard to decide
If your light burns bright
Just a moment of peace
The white spot in the black
It's gonna be cold
Leaving
A valley of ice
A valley of ice
13 Bubbles (04:58)
Words are passing by, like trees on a road
You're talking bubbles in the air
Floating around you, away and displode
Eyes opened wide, I stare
Thoughts from out of space, drifting aside
Your words are echoes in the woods
Leaves twisting around, fall and die
Wind guides you home, but where?
Where will it be
Here or there
One day you'll find it
Here or there
