STERAC – SECRET LIFE OF MACHINES RMXS

ARTIST: STERAC AKA STEVE RACHMAD

TITLE: SECRET LIFE OF MACHINES – THE REMIXES PART 1 (AND 2)

LABEL: 100% PURE

In June this year, STERAC aka Steve Rachmad reached back to the first album 100% Pure ever released in 1995 – the classic milestone in the history of Detroit Techno ‘Secret Life of Machines’ and recreated it using the very same studio machines that he had owned back then.

A composition of seven beautifully sultry tracks from the melodic techno flow of ‘Axion’ to the sheer brilliance, beauty and soul of ‘Astronotes’ – each paving the way to the defining sound of ‘Secret Life of Machines’.

The album received the same glorious feedback as it did 17 years before, with everyone blown away by its fresh, thrilling Detroit Techno futuristic flavours.

To complement the timelessness and delicious smoothness of the remastered album, the European father of Detroit Techno then followed up with four brand new remixes, tailored to today’s tempo and sound.

They say good things come in threes which is why 100% PURE now heats up the summer with THE REMIXES. Inspired by the remastered album and taking it as springboard for remix inspiration, they’ll be welcoming the Techno viewpoints of Joel Mull, Heiko Laux, Marc Romboy, Klartraum, Nadja Lind and Samuel L Session in THE REMIXES PART 1. Then we’ll follow up the Tech House visions of 2000 and One, Joris Voorn, Ricardo Villalobos, Christian Smith and Vince Watson in THE REMIXES PART 2.

Part 1 is out 13th of August 2012, Part 2 is out 27th of August 2012.

Ranking is def 10/10.
