Buchla synth improvisations and explorations, and added vibrating metal plates creates avant-garde ambience 💆🏻‍♀️_______________________________Pressarbitrary presents the first in a series of remix collaborations and releases by Mads Emil Nielsen and Chromacolor, a project from the German sound artist and producer Hanno Leichtmann.Mads Emil Nielsen’s Constellation (side A) was created by combining several granulations and textures based on a single short recording, extracted from improvisations made with the Buchla synthesizer at EMS, Stockholm – combined with randomly looping orchestral samples, edited and produced in his studio in Copenhagen. After having heard Nielsen’s live performance in Berlin in 2017, Hanno Leichtmann suggested remixing various of his tracks including Constellation (Remix – side B).For this rework, Leichtmann provides an ambient feel by working with various sources, all of which generate sound using vibrating metal plates in different sizes – including a Premier Vibraphone, a Fender Rhodes and a Hohner Guitaret.Constellation (arbitrary12) is now published on 10” vinyl + DL.Constellation written & produced by Mads Emil Nielsen at EMS Elektronmusikstudion, Stockholm and in Copenhagen. Constellation Chromacolor Remix written & produced by Hanno Leichtmann at Static Music, Berlin.Mastered and cut by Kassian Troyer at D&M, Berlin. Artwork by Karel Martens.

WildRecords is thrilled to release this twisted reinterpretation of the legendary US underground disco medley, “On & On” by Mach. A certified party banger, heavily rotated on some of Berlin’s finest dance floors, it finally merits its place on a single-sided 12”. Crossing between disco’s darkest edges and uplifting ballroom dance music—with hints of Düsseldorf’s beste elektronische musik, Summer’s seductive ‘Bad Girls,’ and P. Cowley’s mystical touch—this mischievous record will suit a variety of DJ sets and is sure to make the crowd sweat wild. “On & On” by Mach is the record that inspired Jesse Saunders’ “On and On”, released in January 1984 on Chicago’s Jes Say Records. The story goes that Saunder’s copy of Mach’s record was stolen one night, so he decided to create his own version—marking the birth of House music.

Danish fast paced LOL-trance. A-side contains a sample from Ofra Haza - Im Nin´ Alu. The sample was never cleared, and the track was never commercially released.
