ELEKTRABEL
MISSION 6277 | AXIS RECORDS

Jeff Mills chose this shy guy for AXIS Records' new label 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. "Crocks EP" which followed Elektrabel's LP "For Various Reason" (also on Mission/6277) showed that Elektrabel was no longer unknown. The track was also choosen by Dave Clarke for his "World Service 2" compilation. Clever music for open minded people.

In 2006 Elektrabel worked on new releases on Mission/6277 and did his first European tour including some of the finest summer festivals and premium clubs – big succes he got for his live performance at TRESOR, Berlin, Germany; PACHA Budapest, Hungary; W-PARADE, Wroclaw, Poland; SUMMER OF LOVE FESTIVAL, in Czech Republic; and in TOKYO JAPAN where he was invited by Jeff Mills to perform at "CONTACT SPECIAL" at WOMB CLUB - Jeff ’s residency night. For Elektrabel it was certainly a successful tour as the crowd loved his precious and original style. In DJMAG (November 2005) in the article "TOP 100 DJs", Jeff Mills was asked who was the upcoming name to watch out for... Try to guess what Jeff replied...



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.“



USER COMMENT posted on DISCOGS by nilzmenace

“A producer that only recently caught my eye. He releases very little but I'm glad to hear that he prefers quality over quantity. The atmosphere or vibe he creates whitin his tracks is breathtaking and shows you how talented this guy really is. Take the track Popis 18b for instance, slow techno track at 120 BPM that is dark hypnotic with synths that take you to the abyss. It is only a matter of time before this guy breaks through and by God he deserves it.“

"...If someone believes that electronic music, after its blast, is now passing thru a crisis, perhaps he doesn’t know how to differentiate the chaff from the wheat or cant find the golden needle in the huge hayloft of outputs made in domestic studios..."
