This special Planete Rouge EP series kicks off with the re-release of
two classic tracks taken from Terence Fixmer’s first album ‘Muscle
Machine’, which was originally released on DJ Hell’s International
Deejay Gigolo Records in 2001. This acclaimed debut album spearheaded
the fusion of modern techno and EBM. In particular the tracks ‘Warm’
and ‘Rage’ both combined the raw and dark atmosphere of EBM with the
energy of driving techno. On ‘Relapse Volume 1’ the re-mastered
original versions of these two tracks are accompanied by remixes from
Sandwell District’s Regis and Planete Rouge’s own Alexey Volkov. Regis
(Karl O’Connor) hands in a sinister, looped-up version of ‘Warm’
replete with ghostly samples and a dizzying groove, while Alexey Volkov
turns his hand to ‘Rage’ delivering a deep, thumping remix that plays
with frequencies and a squelching bass. Look out for more in the ‘Relapse’ series, coming soon to Planete Rouge.
