Berlin’s gender-nonconforming and Pornceptual co-founder Projekt Gestalten sees his new EP « Wretched Cuts » on a classy pink marbled vinyl, for a 100% Brazilian release on New York’s techno label Mild Fantasy (ran by Elle Dee, originating from Brazil). The mini album is closed by an eagerly awaited reinterpretation of the first track, « Wise People In Reverse », by Rio de Janeiro born and Berlin based female artist The Lady Machine who is a also a Pornceptual resident. The remix from the is a clean, peak time techno tool which got rid of the saturated elements and disturbing synths to make room for a DJ friendly dance floor killer weapon. Your attention is instantly caught in the first minute with the repetitive percussive progression and the delicate, driving and round bassline. As the track goes and the tension builds up, there is a resurgence in what you can sense as an hypnotic Brazilian induced vibe brought by the amazonian drum kit used, echoing to Projekt Gestalten’s dear origins and the themes he explores in the EP: Estamira and the Brazilian documentary of the same name.The Lady Machine’s remix is incredibly efficient and powerful, definitely incarnating the spirit of the twenty first century modern techno, so get lined up and get ready for a serious knuckle distribution just in time for the end of the year’s celebrations by ordering your copy here: https://mildfantasy.bandcamp.com/album/wretched-cuts-ep
