Barcode: 880319884016 Optimo Trax presents a 4-track EP from Germany™s Mathias Schober, head honcho of Berlin™s Lossless label. As always we prefer to let our artists do the talking. Here™s what Mathias has to say about this release - The idea behind all tracks on the EP was a simple setup of drums and one synth that would do a main sequence/sound, yet there™s a lot of detail in all of them. ˜In A Certain Way™ features a 808ish beat with a main sequence coming from a tiny monophon synth called Atmegatron - 8Bit love, it turned out being much more music than I thought it would be when I set everything up. ˜But What Rules Are Made For™ is the same setup but the sequence is a 101 and so are all the washed out fx synths. On ˜Is To Break Them™ I went a different route, I had the dub, delayed stabs synth first as I was messin™ with my Moog and a Space Echo - which btw is used on every single track I release, if you haven™t noticed yet. So I was trying to build something around those stabs in order to fit the track to the others and so I ended up with another sequence coming from my Moog. As there was still space on the record, I decided to add an ambient version of ˜Is To Break Them™, I love the ambience on this track. I hope that my love for dub sounds is obvious enough on these tracks. Happy I found such an excellent home for the EP! 01 In A Certain Way 02 But What Rules Are Made For 03 Is To Break Them 04 Is To Break Them
