Spektre – Recykled 1 - Respekt Records

The final installment of Spektre's Recykled series features four reworks that have really taken their original tracks to the next level.
"Incognito" is the first one up and Alex D'Elia & Nihil Young of Frequenza fame add some mighty grooveness while retaining the hypnotic elements that made the original stand out.
Subfractal have taken on the remix of "Flux Aeterna" and have mangled the main melody, effectively taking the whole track up a notch, and lacing it with their signature sound Kyfu & Rosie Romero' s remix of "Memory Effect" goes straight for the jugular, using fragments of the melody, but still keeping the vibe and keeping the intensity level high.
The final track of the pack is remixed by Reset Robot, and he has transformed "Descent" into a clean chugger with precise percussion in the leading role, and paranoid vocals setting the mood.

Tracklist:

1. Spektre - Tesseract (Sasha Carassi Respekt Remix)
2. Spektre - Kraken (Phunk Investigation Remix)

SPEKTRE & SUBFRACTAL

The mighty Spektre have teamed up with Subfractal, which is a logical progression since they are both fashioning the same brand of dark, brooding techno.

The aptly titled "Ram Raid" is characterized by it's carefully spaced arrangement, hitting hard where appropriate, yet leaving space for the track to breathe. Apocalyptic synths tear through the audio horizon as the track spirals into a dark hole of intense programming.

Sasha Carassi takes care of the remix and shifts into a head-on collision, going for a more direct approach and it pretty much sounds like a sonar in hell. The layers of loops keep the intensity level high and you've got a package that packs a might punch.

Tracklist:

1. Spektre & Subfractal - Ram Raid (Original Mix)
2. Spektre & Subfractal - Ram Raid (Sasha Carassi Remix)

1605-043 : Spektre - Sixteen Sins EP out on 1605 Music Therapy!!!

Spektre has been associated with Sixteenofive for a while now, in one way or another, so it should come as no surprise that they have chose us to release their awesome new "Sixteen Sins" EP. Fitting right in with our formula and recipe for good techno, we are delighted to have them on board and happy to present their latest opus. Containing two brand new original productions, the EP is further evidence (as if it were needed) of why the boys have become such hot property. Having had a phenomenal run in the last months, from barnstorming, blinding live shows and gigs to heavy support and rotation of their studio work from pretty much every self respecting techno jock, they seem to be going from strength to strentgh. Don't say we didn't warn you!!

Tracklist:
1. Spektre - Sixteen Sins (Original Mix)
2. Spektre - Power Of Five (Original Mix)

Spektre - Casting Shadows Without Lights (Remixes)

With Spektre's debut album causing a bit of a stir worldwide, it seemed like a very logical progression to to take two of the album's highlights and have them remixed by some of our favorite and most esteemed techno producers. Umek and Reset Robot hardly need any introduction-their many productions having cemented their reputations as A-listers in the techno world. Umek turns his hand to "Casting Shadows Without Light" and turns in a characteristically pounding version of the excellent original fusing his trademark drum and bass programming with Spekre's vocals and original parts to devastating effect. Reset Robot goes for "Descent" and creates a heads down percussion led dancefloor shaker, that is sure to stir up some commotion on a wide variety of dancefloors, the world over!

Pig & Dan - Mussian Rother EP (Spektre's Polygon Outing Remix)

After releasing the hugely successful “The Heat EP” on Yoshitoshi in 2009, Pig & Dan are back with 2 new originals. “Mussian Rother" and the b--‐side "Symphonies" are prime examples of Pig & Dan’s unique ability to provide forward thinking tech, replete with amazing sound design and mixes, while maintaining dance--‐floor sensibility. U.K. duo

Spektre’s remix of the savage 2009 Pig & Dan track, “Cubes”, gives the tune a fresh take with an undeniably dark and driving feel that only the Spektre boys can offer.

Based out of Berlin, German duo Exercise One join Spektre on remix
duties, re--‐working the title track “Mussian Rother”. Their remix of “Mussian Rother” is engaging and spacey, complete with a psychedelic build and sizzling percussion.

Release: 09.06.2010

SPEKTRE ‘CASTING SHADOWS WITHOUT LIGHT’ album release!

Our money’s on summer 2010 being a vintage year for live British dance music. Sure, the old guard such as Leftfield, Underworld, Way Out West, and Orbital will be picking up the headlines for their return to the festival circuit, but in terms of new blood, look no further than techno duo, Spektre.

Hailing from Sheffield - no stranger itself to successful man/machine syntheses - the pairing of ‘Filthy’ Rich and Paul Maddox is part of a new breed of rave-inspired, intelligent dance music young bucks.

They took the Glade festival and SW4 crowds by storm in 2009, having already travelled the UK, South American, US and European gig circuits packing out venues with their distinctive brand of exceptionally danceable electronic body music.

Release-wise, their productions and remixes for the likes of Fever Ray, Lionrock, Future Sound Of London, and many more, have afforded them plenty of plaudits from blogs and techno’s aristocracy (Sven Vath, Ritchie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, and Dubfire are all fans).

‘Casting Shadows Without Light’ is an astonishing debut album. CD 1 is a mixture of vocal electronica, spoken word samples, sci-fi audio steals, and instrumentals, as the 13 tracks veer from noisy epics and ether-soaked techno torch songs, to ambient interludes and an atmospheric drum n bass closer. And when it comes to a delicate use of melody, Spektre exude more warmth and beauty in 16 bars than a thousand indie troubadours ever will.

CD2 brings together a selection of extended mixes from the album, each in a longer form with a nod to the band’s dancefloor origins.

International dates in the UK, Europe, Australia, Israel, Slovenia, US, and beyond, begin from February, touring the album with their all-new live show. Please see the Spektre website for full details.

For booking request for an album tour date, please use our booking from in the booking section.


RELEASE DATE: APRIL, 26th 2010

RESPEKT is the label manifestation of the internationally recognised artist duo Spektre.

It has been developed as a base for the research and exploration of their sound and to experiment within the new and innovative world of electronic music that we live in today. Derived from an anagram of Spektre, the Respekt label stands for the artist's interminable belief in the underground soundtrack that spans the globe, and for the inspiration they gleam from producing, performing, and moving in the circles it revolves in.

As two of the most widely respected techno artists to come out of the UK in recent times, founders Paul Maddox & Richard Wakley have travelled the world in the past three years performing the Spektre LIVE show, to rapturous acclaim. While stealing the show at clubs around the globe, they have been inspired by cultures from every dance floor, and as producers they have released on the crème de la crème of techno's elite labels.

Massive support has come from the likes of techno kings Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Dubfire and Laurent Garnier, while James Zabiela has championed them as his "ones to watch" and quotes "Spektre's productions consist of solid techno that really remembers the rave. Music that is cool but also fun and highly danceable. These guys are just going to get bigger"…

The natural progression is their label RESPEKT, with the first release due at the end of November and another three before Spring serving as a build up to their eagerly anticipated debut studio album, due for release in early 2010.

Get ready to be inspired, exhilarated and enthralled. Get prepared for the next instalment and always, Expekt the unexspekted!!!

Spektre 'Live at Glade' Album OUT NOW!

It's a festival set. A dark, razor-sharp four-hander of tracks, FX, edits and more FX again, dished out in a hot tent to crazed kids in the late evening of one of the sunniest days of this year. It was a great festival, Glade - sunshine, countryside, a crowd that's equal part hippies, kids, rave veterans and sun worshippers, with Jeff Mills headlining. And the cozy little Sancho Panza tent off to one side that on the Friday night hosted Veryverywrongindeed - Tim Sheridan playing back to back with Mr C for four hours, a killer set from Mike Monday, Josh Tweek and Frenchy warming up, and a live set bang in the middle by our UK techno duo, Spektre.

They've a group who've been quietly climbing the European electronic ladder for a while now. They have releases across Dance Electric, Rotary Cocktail, Dekadent Schallplatten, Heimatmelodie, Suruba, Noir, and of course Veryverywrongindeed. Not to mention Sven Vath hammering their track Hover at his NYE Cocoon party, and other fans from Hawtin to Dubfire to Mark Broom, Magda, Mike Monday, Holgi Star, Dave Shokh, Chloé, Format B, Andrew Grant, Phonogenic, Sebastian Roya and VVWI favourite Ludovic Vendi. And this album is a record of that Glade set - in the tent that IDJ described as the highlight of the festival. Twelve of their own tracks plus a lucky 13th, their own remix of Andre Crom. Now out in all the wrong record stores, it's the first of a series of live CDs planned by Veryverywrongindeed to highlight up-and-coming producers ...
