The latest release from the German electro/electrobreaks/technobreaks label, Maschinen Musik is out. Two slamming electro cuts from Solar Chrome.

Solar Chrome – Aero [Maschinen Musik]
Both tracks hitting my buttons and then some.

As the title suggests, back on November 27th I played at a warehouse party in Hackney, well Hackney Wick. This is the recording of my set. Coming in at just shy of 90minutes and thundering along at a steady 140bpm it’s rammed full of, in my humble opinion, rolling, heavy bass licked tracks. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed mixing it.

Molez was captivated by the dark atmospherics and futuristic sounds and in 2006 met up with one of the members of the Sympton Crew (an organisation responsible for pushing diverse electronic music in Subotica). That member was Noiz, who noticed that they both shared a similar musical taste. From that meeting, Molez joined members Dekode, Drum:R and Noiz to spread the Sympton sound through Serbia. Thanks to Dekode’s electro, IDM and dubstep records Molez grew interested in producing 140bpm paced music rather than producing drum & bass tracks. His productions are characterized by deep and sci-fi soundscapes.

In early 2008 he met up with Alien Pimp (owner of DubKraft Records) who gave Molez his first track; Sabotage on the Cinematic Dubstep Vol 01 release. With this digital release, Molez became one of the first Serbian dubstep producers. He went on to release his fierce, technoid influenced track Scythe on Rottun Recordings Pressure Chamber EP. That same year he was signed to John Bushby’s excellent Digital Distortions label where he released his first EP: Letdown. It was this EP that got me interested in him and I wrote at the time:

“Woah. Serious sound sculpture coming out of this hybrid electro, glitch, dubstep, bass rich behemoth of a track. Molez is a new name to ]dD[ but after this, I can see a very bright future ahead. This is a producer in full control of their sound.”

Music done with machines and that sounds like machines: Based on this idea, Maschinen Musik was founded in 2003 by German DJ and producer Andreas Schmehl (Dr. Schmidt) to fill what he felt was a gap in the broad spectrum of electronic dance music. With the desire to promote a new vision of electronic music, a vision in which Techno, Breakbeats, Electro, and Industrial come together to form a new, raw sound, we created a label that is anchored in both the Techno and Breakbeat scenes. Today, Maschinen Musik provides a professional platform for artists that think outside established patterns and who share the love for dark, powerful, and yet danceable music.
