Elektrabel
Who is the most interesting techno person in the Czech
Republic of now? Defi nitely Elektrabel! Jeff Mills chose this shy
guy for Mission 01 on Axis’s new sublabel 6277.
Elektrabel delivered 3 Mills-esque stormers and an ambient number.
His record was the hardest and freshest to come from the Axis camp
in the last couple of years. His tracks are full of pounding rhythms
set the stage and with the basslines shadowing the rhythm, while
underneath melodies appear ghostlike changing throughout with odd
harmonics shimmying around and delivering that SFX futuristic vibe
that works so well. The tracks on Mission 01 record were the brilliant
examples of why this label has been so good so often.
The press and the reviewers were confused because they didn't know
if Elektrabel was a one-record project from Jeff Mills or some unknown
person. The fresh ‘Crocks EP‘ which will be followed
by the Elektrabel LP For Various Reason (all on Mission/6277) show
that Elektrabel is no
longer unknown. Clever music for open minded people. New EP for
Mission/6277, was released in October and called Trefa.
Elektrabel starts his mission to European parties – big succes
he get for his live performance at W-Parade in Wroclaw, Poland or
at Summer Of Love, Pardubice Czech Republic. And he was invited
from Jeff Mills to perform at Contact Special night at Womb club
in Tokyo Japan in October 2005 as a part of Jeff ’s residency.
For Elektrabel it was great success and people really loved his
dark, precious and original way of techno. In DJ Mag – november
2005 in article TOP 100 DJ’s was Jeff Mills asked who is Best
for 2006 by his view. Try to guess what's Jeff reply...
For 2006 Elektrabel work on new releases on Mission/6277 and prepare
his fi rst European tour include some of the fi nest summer festivals
and premium clubs.
Believe that his music will be still the sort of fast-paced tight
techno that both Mills and Rob Hood do so well.
Elektrabel is avaiable for LIVE shows only!
Jeff Mills about Elektrabel:
„Composing Electronic Music for just a few years, Elektrabel
is no new-comer to a unique knowledge of composing music with rare
and uncompromising emotion. The sounds of Elektrabel are pure and
they are precise. A purity that immediately caught the mature ears
at Axis
Records as soon as they heard his fi rst demo sample cd. As one-time
miracles are common at this avant garde level of the music industry,
being able to succeed and show further promise beyond that initial
stage are what most of today’s Techno producers are never
able to
achieve. The unique formula of Elektrabel is not hard to understand,
it involves vision, an objective and a logical mental structure
to materialise such ideas and then, a sense of measuring what he
has done in the past and what he needs to do in the future. Even
at the early days of Electronic Music, there has always been a common
desperation to locate those that excel. Elektrabel is relevant and
here to be consumed. With what he has created thus far, it is clear
that he has a
long and adventurous future ahead of him, a supression of such talent
would be nothing less than tragic.“
