Premiere: Fabrizio Rat Launches “La Machina” Imprint with “Double Bind” EP
Fabrizio Rat starts his own techno label La Machina, a platform for music-oriented to the dancefloor as well as to the mind.
The first release, the Double Bind EP, includes 4 tracks of uncompromising analog techno, labyrinthine sequences, hypnotic textures and banging beats mixing modular synths melodies, drum machines and acoustic piano sounds.
On the B side, a Phenakistoscope completes the experience, as the artwork animates when the record turns. Hand and mechanism, oscillator and string, man and machine have rarely been so close.
Fabrizio Rat Lands On German Label Odd/Even With 12-Track “Unconscious Mind” LP
Following three EPs and one LP, Fabrizio Rat releases his second solo album on Odd/Even, the German label ran by Andre Kronert.
Alongside his intensive touring Fabrizio Rat has never stopped producing, and his upcoming 12 track Unconscious Mind album is the result. The album is conceived entirely for the dancefloor, with no rest and no breath, no ambient or “quiet” tracks. Melodies emerge at times, resulting from original orchestrations of piano and machines. At other times more violent and static textures explore the extreme repetitions of piano harmonics, combined with slowly evolving filter-sweeping hypnosis.
