Title:	Pik Ass
Label:	ASPEAK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	ASPEAK 004EP

"Some things just take some time. Released four years ago already in a promo version strictly limited to 250 pieces and since then a desperately wanted collectors item, the three tracks of Kanzleramt mastermind Heiko Laux from his Sense Fiction period finally see the artificial light of the clubs and record shops -- after numerous delays due to pressing and mastering. 'Pik Ass' focuses on string melancholy with wiper sounds and functional dub tech structures. The rhythmic elementary particles are pulsating forward alternately, arousing undamped enthusiasm even on a restrained tempo level. Following the short snare intermezzo 'Schnittlaux (Cut Edit),' 'Eartha Kitt' is also based on a similarly sensual string, but imitates the Kitt-like 'rolled R' with bass-stressed synthie sounds in a percussive dub context. How lovely that the timelessly hypnotic tracks of the Berlin-based Heiko Laux finally can be heard by everybody!"

"'Sense Fiction', the science of senses, starts where consciousness loses the leading function and the senses them self get the master control. Senses are also responsible for the production of this album. Heiko Laux presents on his new album his personal definition of techno in the new Century. All tracks were produced in Berlin and transfer the mood of the changes for the label as well as for the person Heiko Laux caused by the moving to Berlin to the listeners ear. The same as ever machines, the sensual mood of the Liquidism continues. Sense Fiction has been made as a part time record for a special part of the listeners life. As expression of the listeners moods, feelings and thoughts this album will be something very personal for the listener as well as for the producer -- Heiko Laux. Heavily influenced by the musical structures of jazz, Heiko tried to break with the conventional 4/4 techno drum pattern system and produced an album with a very unique funk, floating and still pumpin' techno.

"Offshore Funk is the new project by Kanzleramt owner Heiko Laux and his studio neighbour Teo Schulte, a jazz musician and producer from Berlin. Both celebrate their 10 years artist/producer/DJ anniversary in 2003 with this album. 'Offshore Funk' stands for the style clash of jazz chords, rock drums, Latin percussion, house grooves, funk licks, techno kicks and an overall disco flair. You can hear a large studio environment as well as as recorded percussions (Quica shakers), alienated voice recordings, guitar licks, vocoders and an electronic wind instrument."
