MONO (INC. DJ SKULL & JOHANNA KNUTSSON MIXES)

A1 Efdemin - Mono A2 Efdemin - Subconscious Dub B1 Efdemin - Sequence 100 (Johanna Knutsson Remix) B2 Efdemin - Sequence 100 (DJ Skull Remix) Counterchange celebrates its 25th release with a special 12™™ by much loved Berlin techno-sound-artist and Berghain resident Efdemin aka Phillip Sollmann, featuring two brand new productions, plus remixes of ˜Sequence 100™ (taken from Stream State, COUNTER014), by DJ Skull and Johanna Knutsson. ˜Mono™ steers an organic, runaway synth line (courtesy of the classic Korg Monopoly), along a sleek, 136 bpm set of modernist rails. In contrast, ˜Subconscious Dub™ bows to a dusty lo-fi house alter, while bouncing to a funky, techno-centric and contemporary pulse. Chicago™s DJ Skull is a revered member of techno and house history who continues to provide slinky bangers that joyfully evade pigeon-holing. Skull™s mix of ˜Sequence 100™ reshapes the cascading polyrhythms into an effervescent, summery deep-house stomper. In beguiling contrast, Malmö-based Johanna Knutsson channels sensitive storytelling and blissful tonal formations, ushering Efdemin™s original through a verdant forest of post-club ambience and subtle harmonics.
