ZEITGEBER

Zeitgeber is a German word that, loosely translated, means synchronizer. It's?also the new project of Electric Deluxe head Speedy J and Stroboscopic?Artefacts' boss, Lucy. Both artists make some of the most forward-thinking techno?around, but Zeitgeber sees them pushing together even further into uncharted?territories. Freed of dancefloor considerations, the duo have constructed an album?that breathes with life and rewards close listening. That's no surprise when you?consider the artists involved. Speedy J has been around from techno's very?beginnings. Based in Rotterdam, his Electric Deluxe label has consistently released?techno that has gleefully tugged at the constraints of the genre. Lucy, on the other?hand, is a newer name to most techno fans, but his Stroboscopic Artefacts label?has quickly made a name for itself as one of the leading purveyors of the stuff.?You'd expect nothing less from two of the most talented producers in the techno?world. The culmination of 18 months of work, Zeitgeber is an album that is a?collaboration in the best sense. Two artists urging the other to new heights and?new sounds.??TRACKLISTING?A1.
