With the resonant feedback received from the fans for the release of
DIGITAL FACTOR’s comeback album “A Chemical Process”, Mike Langer
decided to revisit the band’s impressive repertoire and rerelease with
Alfa Matrix fully remastered versions of his back-catalogue thanks to
the latest studio tools and technologies.
After the ‘Falling Down’ EP re-release, now comes the 1995 cult first full length album of DIGITAL FACTOR: “Relationchips”.
Back then, the DIGITAL FACTOR gang returned to the cult Elsterparkstudio
in Leipzig (Germany), one of the hubs of the dark electro music scene
in central Germany to record this album. Most demos of the album had
already been written before and two songs ("Years Ago" and "Work") were
also already known from the first tape release "Suiciety". With a song
like "Mindbooster", DIGITAL FACTOR also revealed their very first
punkish sound attitude, injecting guitars into their electronic sound
style; while tracks like the catchy vocoder tune "T.R.O.N.I.C." or yet
"Hope!" also showed the band’s more experimental and eclectic side. But
from “Relationchips”, we all of course remember one of DIGITAL FACTOR’s
bigger club hits with the merciless and hammering “Electro Shock” that
is still today part of the band’s live playlist!
“Relationchips” was released in 1995 as a collaboration release between Hard Records and Hyperium/Hypnobeat.
