Premiere & Interview: Moteka Releases Debut Album on Skryptöm
Once upon a time in a distant place and in a distant time, lived a boy named Leon. Leon grew up in a land where legends of past battles between humans and machines, lead by the fierce TCX2290, were strong. It was said, victory of the humans over the robots was conducted by the mighty General Ostkröf III.

This twelve track techno journey is Moteka’s debut album on French techno label Skryptöm, and is beautifully illustrated by world-renowned artist Nicolas Delort.
