███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ Betrieb is Ekkehard Ehlers. Ekkehard is a part of MΣrz (Karaoke ░█
█░ Kalk), but also released a lot solo, mostly under the name of ░█
█░ Ekehard Ehlers - f.e. on Staubgold, Bottrop Boys and Orthlorng ░█
█░ Musork - but also as Betrieb on Klang Elektronik and Mille ░█
█░ Plateaux. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Mapstation is Stefan Schneider. Stefan is a member of To Rococo ░█
█░ Rot. With his solo project Mapstation, he released different eps ░█
█░ and two albums on Staubgold: A Way To Find The Day and Version ░█
█░ Train. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Betrieb -> Mapstation feat Ras Donovan: Ekkehard remixed two ░█
█░ pieces done by Mapstation with the voice of singer Ras Donovan. ░█
█░ The results are called New Directions (was released as a ░█
█░ maxi-double on Staubgold also and became underground hit) and ░█
█░ Gravity. The music Ekkehard Ehlers releases under the name of ░█
█░ Betrieb is, contrary to the music he creates under his own name, ░█
█░ very strongly related to the straight bassdrum of minimal techno. ░█
█░ So it was obvious that the two now ready remixes should be ░█
█░ published under the name of Betrieb. But, the careful way Ehlers ░█
█░ treated his material, especially the voice of Ras Donovan, at the ░█
█░ same time creating something definitely new,convinced all ░█
█░ participants in this project this project would have to be born ░█
█░ under the name of Betrieb -> Mapstation feat. Ras Donovan. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ÆIn the centre, near to the ear, the voice of Ras Donovan slowly ░█
█░ melts. In it, the whole mythical history of reggae, warm and deep ░█
█░ from the timewarp. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ The voice has a timbre like the best reggae singers in this world, ░█
█░ like velvet. Deeper into the room, Stefan Schneider plays his ░█
█░ game. Mostly, he just marks little dots, first tones, then ░█
█░ melodies.Æ [FAZ] On both last Mapstation albums, the voice of Ras ░█
█░ Donovan generated some numbers into real unique dub-electronics. ░█
█░ Reggae in the music of Stefan Schneider became physical through ░█
█░ this voice. No piece of music really sounds like reggae or dub, ░█
█░ Donovan just lets this (very) old music flow into the fine music ░█
█░ of Stefan Schneider, like a memory. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Ekkehard Ehlers was just as thrilled by the music of Mapstation as ░█
█░ FAZ was and edited both numbers the classical way as remixes. The ░█
█░ results left us breathless for months. Ehlers solved various ░█
█░ problems at the same time, like: How do I get this music on the ░█
█░ dancefloor? How do I preserve the magnificent soul Donovan has? ░█
█░ How do I do justice to the flow of Mapstation music? Ehlers leaves ░█
█░ the tracks the space they need to enfold. Microsampling and cut ░█
█░ up-techniques make sounds and voices whizzing around, without ░█
█░ breaks and the usual funk dogmatism of someone like Akufen. It ░█
█░ rather sounds like an indeterminable number of imaginary Ras ░█
█░ Donovans dances around a microphone that is dangling from the ░█
█░ ceiling in the middle of a room. They appear, and disappear, ░█
█░ shadowy and funky, but earthed as earthed can be. That is what ░█
█░ this voice is able to do. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ The music of Mapstation flows. Betrieb -> Mapstation feat. Ras ░█
█░ Donovan flows ahead, with the 4/4 as a metronome. Ekkehard Ehlers ░█
█░ preserves the flow, keeps the soul. Music without a beginning, ░█
█░ without an end, like life itself: moments of joy cut out of time. ░█
█░ We confess, we are hippies: the Grateful Dead of the straight ░█
█░ bassdrum. A summer on the dancefloor. Music that never ends. ░█
