Bpitch's ever-respected ringleader follows up 2001's fabulous "Stadtkind" album and the recent Weiss mix with a fresh new nine-tracker, "Berlinette." Building on the ace "Erdbeermund" 12", the album is a much more focused effort than we've witnessed from her before. Dense structures, chunky glitchtronix, heavy beats (some of which are courtesy of beat-twister extraordinaire, Apparat), and devastating basslines and melodies all combine to form a unique collection of 21st century technopop. Recommended!

VINYL FORMAT. "Elphine" is a track off of Ellen Allien's highly-acclaimed Sool. Zander VT and Troy Pierce purify this track with a pair of special remixes. "Elphine" creeps into your subconscious and produces positive energy. For Zander VT's remix, the characteristic "Elphine" hook crosses the whole remix theme and pushes the audience straight onto the dancefloor. Troy Pierce's remix is unique, pushed by an impulsive bass line and newly-arranged vocals, taken from the original.

Sool is the fourth full-length solo release (following Stadtkind, Berlinette and Thrills) by the inimitable queen, Ellen Allien. Welcome once again to the Allien world: this one is subtle, mysterious, and minimal. Created in the deepest and darkest of Berlin's winters, 2007-2008, Sool is intended to be a valve, a loophole, a respite from the crazy summers into the introspection and hibernation of winter. This could easily be Allien's most intimate album yet: the sounds of everyday life and snatches of whisp   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. After Ellen Allien's long-expected fourth solo album Sool, here is the first 12'', which presents two tracks off of the album in extended vinyl versions. "Sprung" is characterized best by a permanent moving back and forth. Smooth, precise loops and subliminal bass lines accent the mysterious effects. "Its" is driving and direct -- a rough and straight piece of music that evolves, goes forward, and absorbs the listener completely.

This is the eagerly-awaited fourth installment in BPitch Control's Boogy Bytes series, mixed by the label queen herself, Ellen Allien. Allien describes this mix as "emotional, noisy, trippy, weird and sexual," an apt characterization of her typology of sound that is perhaps more crooked, more abstract or technoid than others, but with a seamless queue of artists that you can't help but be excited about. As a DJ, she maintains that emotional and direct contact to the audience always comes first -- lik   [ read more ]

Techno-goddess Ellen Allien returns with her third studio album. Teaming up with Holger Zielske with whom she also produced Stadtkind and Berlinette, Thrills harkens back to the dark, dense warehouses of German clubs like Tresor and Detroit basement acid house blowouts. Allien also conducts experiments with new-old units such as the Roland 808 and an ARP 2600 to produce warmer, more relaxed digital sounds. Thrills connects the dots of 808 State, Gina X and Kompakt.
