Mobilee is proud to present "Berolina": the fourth and latest single from Marcin
Czubala, it's also a teaser for his forthcoming album, Chronicles of Never.
Backed by a fierce, driving remix from Russ Gabriel, who made his debut mobilee
appearance with Mobilee 040, it's a diverse and devastating twotrack package to
fit a wide range of hours and moods. In its sense of weightlessness and
suspended animation, "Berolina" is the perfect introduction to the world of
Marcin's album. All the signature elements of his work are here: the bumping,
slightly haphazard drums, not just electronic pulses but samples clipped from
the wider world; the pinprick tones mapping a voluminous nighttime sky; the
deep, steady bass; and more than anything else, the sense of slipperiness, of
morphing, mutating sounds that never assume one form for more than an instant
before taking another shape. "Berolina" is named for Marcin's first excursions
to Berlin, years ago; the title was the name of his customary train and thus, in
his words, "my first contact with the city, people, clubs and music." You can
hear that youthful sense of expectation and uncertainty in the music; you have
the sense that no matter how many times youÆve taken this particular train, you
never quite know where you're going to end up. Russ Gabriel, one of the
masterminds of Detroit techno and the Detroit tradition, pulls no punches in his
mix, turning the strange, corkscrewing sequences of the original into a muscular
groove marked with bell tones and warm stabs. His drum work, as ever, builds the
rhythm with short, sharp attacks and fills, building repetitive intensity
bar-by-bar, while filters and soft analog tones stretch out to describe a broad
horizon. His approach is self-assured and deeply funky, a commandment that goes
to the heart of the dance floor with tenacity and grace.
