INFO

Cybotron has re-emerged in our contemporary cybercultural age when artifactual futures begin a transition into a new era of
"Meta".

By combining their knowledge of philosophy, science fiction, and mechanical engineering, at a time when electronic instrument
companies were only just beginning to distribute their products to the masses, two prosumer audio technicians named Juan
Atkins and Rik Davis were able to re-engineer Cybotron – a combination of the words “Cyborg” and “Cyclotron” (an atomic
particle accelerator) – to be used as a home studio performance music that would change the course of independently produced
and distributed electronic music.

Dissolving the boundary between singer, songwriter, and producer, Juan Atkins named Cybotron’s future forward funkadelic
sound “techno” in reference to Alvin Toler’s concept of unlikely “techno rebels” against technocracy. Techno is music that
sounds like technology, and its purpose was to help society survive our collision with a universally felt “future shock” by inserting
an audio virus into the cultural matrix.

Techno’s blueprint spread across the Detroit-Berlin Axis between Metroplex and Tresor. As human society began its transition
from a post-industrial to an information-based market economy, Cybotron enabled a thorough system override of the human
senses towards a tangible man-machine hybridity and showed the world how to channel their emotions and imaginations into
new sound technologies and create new ‘sonic’ spatialities where listeners can transport themselves out of the physical world
into the future. The cover of their debut album Enter (1983) transmitted a fragmented view of a body in motion being digitized
mid-stride, dissolving physical and virtual reality into sonic fiction.

Today, the man-machine hybridity of Cybotron is still the truest form of techno, coevolving in conversation with the technological music they created and inspired. The latest data disk marks a new chapter that reflects a techgnostic musical expression of
the knowledge acquired during their decades-long hiatus. Unlike the dance music industrial replications of the Model 500
formula, acknowledging the content marketing expectations that segments music into specific, sellable genres, this techno
music is self-aware. Cybotron processes dance music tropes spawned from its very own blueprint with a meta-tactical precision
out of sync with our current rave new world.

Cybotron’s return demonstrates a studied engagement with what techno was and should be with a peerless update of Juan
Atkins’ initial inventive idea of do-it-yourself electrically reengineered music xeroxed onto both sides of the 12” – uploaded
directly into the alleys of your mind.

Release Info:

Oscean comes out firing from the outset on their new
12” entitled Multirays. The Argentinian duo of Andrés
Zacco and Sebastián Galante are following up on the
first release of their collaboration, Ideoma, also released
on Tresor Records. With Multirays, this burgeoning
collaboration reveals a promising evolution, moving into
more rhythmically diverse environments and playful
structures.
The opening track, Multidimensional, strikes with
confronting beats and a searching, woolly bass sound.
Constantly growing, it moves confidently with its
skittering percussion work, ebbing and flowing through
filter movements and expansive synths. Invisible Rays
draws in breathing techno pulses, as Zacco and Galante
cast drenches of feedback across the spectrum. A
deceptively mellow melody, recalling Spiral from their
debut EP, teases at a deeper melodic progression, but
the focus stays locked on the animated rhythms,
tempting towards divergent grooves but expertly
keeping feet on the floor.
In Drivion, Oscean investigates electro territories,
simultaneously bubbling and driving. Echoed
arpeggiations and upfront beats funnel impulses
between neurons. Broad synth gestures oer gateways
into abstraction before, without barely a hint, the
rhythms beat once more.
On the closing track, Horizonsz, the duo drive forth
through skipping rhythms and soul-searching bass
murmurs. Synth pads beckon with fresnel lens
reflections and rising warmth, motioning towards a
stunning moment of euphoria, where futurist mirages
coexist with distant memories.

Oxia's classic 'Domino' gets reworked for it's ten year anniversary - in 2 vinyl parts.

A decade after initially seeing the light, Oxia's now classic 'Domino' get's reworked to celebrate it's anniversary. The new release features a new cut by Oxia himself as well as several remixes by none other than Frankey & Sandrino, Robag Wruhme and Matador. The EP will be released through Agoria's newly found record label Sapiens on February 24th.

Ten years ago the track made waves in the international dance music circuit, striking up chords with techno, trance and house DJs alike to quickly become an all-time classic. Having never expected the track to reach the status that it his, it's a very dear project to Oxia and he needed quite some persuading to give in and let Agoria and his team create something that was worthy of the original. The set of tracks are the first officially commissioned remixes by Oxia ever.

"Finding remixers took some time, the amazing Frankey & Sandrino who's track 'Acamar' is my absolute favourite of 2015, Matador that just launched his Rukus label as well is the multi-talented ex label mate at Kompakt Robag Wruhme. They are all incredibly gifted and fortunately patient enough to wait for this EP" - OXIA
