FROM THE FALLEN PAGE

The long awaited debut album of Minus' first lady Magda! 10 tracks with punchy basslines and hypnotic drum patterns - "From The Fallen page" is telling the story of Magda's time in Detroit. Magda has not been searching these memories; the memories have found her! Haunting electronic soundworlds that fall somewhere in-between reality and some sort of intangible dreamscape, brimming with nostalgic clues to the past and a curiosity-rousing sense of remembrance. Out of the memoirs of experience comes a lost chapter, an entire world tucked away for the right discoverer to find: the uncovering of thoughts 'From The Fallen Page.' Magda Chojnacka was born in Zywiec, Poland. In 1984, with 9 years, she moved to the USA together with her parents. In 1986, her family settled in Detroit. While she was attending college, she was captivated by the fascination of DJing and techno. Magda started her DJ career in 1996. Through club residencies in Detroit, Magda became associated with Richie Hawtin's Minus label. meanwhile residing in Berlin, her first record on Minus came out in 2005. One year later, she recorded her first mix CD "She's A Dancing Machine" which consists of 72 tracks. It was a tremendous success. 'From The Fallen Page' is an engulfing, transportive album that takes listeners from one end of the spectrum to the other, treading the fine lines of extremities along the way. Starting with 'Get Down Goblin,' a growling, dramatic entrance into her electronic voyage, the album bleeds into tracks of all shapes and sizes, from the swelling, eery chords and solid rhythms of 'Lost In Time,' to the oozy, bass-ridden 'Breakout,' to the dynamic techy workout of 'Your Love Attack'. And though the tracks sequence to tell a story, they all fall under the same alluring spell regardless of order: for instance, 'Music Box' - a daydreamy soundworld filled with chilling chords and a lurid sense of dread (indeed, a music box from a dark past) - is a cinematic pairing to the dizzying builds and piano fills of 'Doom Disco,' which sounds somewhere in-between a hand-clapping, bouncing club and an ancient, creaking haunted house. The funked-out, low-slung groove of 'Japan' closes the chapter, a m elancholic farewell immersed in soft, lush melodies. The darkly-tinged collection takes on a personal, animated effect as a result of entirely unique sounds. In fact, everything in the album's movement came about naturally, from its inception to its change in direction. Originally set out to be a post-punk, dark disco set of soundtrack-inspired music, it evolved into a melodious and percussive adventure into Magda's past and influences. The album's punchy basslines and hypnotic drum patterns tell of her days growing up in Detroit, she didn't purposefully set out to find memories; the memories found her.
