No replies?! Emika is so sick man, Double Edge, Drop the Other, Cooling Room and now 2012 all so big, tunes of epic proportions..! her album is going to be ridiculai if her current output is anything to go by! Plus pinch remix of double edge is probably 1 of my favourite remixes this year, big up Pinch !

just read this interview , interesting... http://www.dummymag.com/features/2010/1 ... bergorama/



easily 1 of the best things dubstep has spawned in recent memory. Music is beautiful melodically, the use of hushed vocals, strings and synths is masterful and all served with some hard ass kicks and insane sub bass..

oh and I love her. Real love...ha
my eyez are peeeled....

First heard the Pinch remix of Double Edge which I thought was the nuts. Then when I heard the original on my way home from work i'm sure a little pre-cum found its way into my boxers on the first drop. Tis well nice.

Lookin forward to an album from her. And will be purchasing some kleenex along with it in case it gets messy

Not really my thing.
The Scuba remix of "Drop The Other" was very good though.

Dont get the Pinch remix (maybe need to hear on a system) but Double Edge OG and Drop The Other (og + vulpine rmx) is fine

Ostgut Ton releases this unique compilation of music crafted from field recordings made inside the two Berlin clubs Berghain and Panorama Bar. The concept and original recordings were made by the Berlin based producer Emika. Over a period of two months Emika created the recordings in the clubs while they were closed to the public and edited them into a library of sounds. The library was then given to all the Ostgut Ton artists, but also to club associates like DJ Pete aka Substance, Dinky, Cassy, Margaret Dygas, Ryan Elliott and Scuba using his SCB alias, to make music with. This release marks the celebration of the label’s five year anniversary.

Emika’s idea started from feeling the whole building resonating from the music being played, which lead to the question: which sounds exist here when there is no party? Intrigued by stories of how the club spaces and sound systems influence the resident DJ sets and productions, Emika was curious to explore what music could be made from the building itself. Berghain’s sound technicians Krischan Makswitat and Silvio König, helped to record the entire light rig including the strobe lights, which in itself sounds techno. Other interesting sources to record were the large cooling rooms used for storing thousands of drinks in bottles. The ventilation systems in these rooms make incredible sub frequencies mixed with the sound of the bottles vibrating against each other. The club also contains large swings made from metal which creak and moan at the slightest of movements.

In total the library comprised over four gigabytes of sounds, and the artists were not given restrictions on how to make music from the library. The tracks on this compilation consist of each artists signature production aesthetics and feature debut solo productions by our residents Fiedel (one half of seminal Berlin based outfit MMM), Boris and Prosumer’s long term production partner Tama Sumo. All together this release highlights the special and inseparable relationships between the label, club space, and collective of artists.
