Label:	COCOON (GERMANY)

Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	COR 003CD

"The Greek word téchnè simply means a way to know things. Jacek Sienkiewicz knows techno. Born in Warsaw, Poland, Jacek has been busy focusing and developing his own style through his Recognition label. His tracks stand out as both a powerful dancefloor tool and as carefully crafted compositions. Téchnè is the second album by Jacek Sienkiewicz and is the first artist album to be released on Sven Vath's Cocoon Recordings. This is techno for the future."

Title:	Displaced
Label:	COCOON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	COR 008CD

"Technology that powers the world is supposed to be stable and not to fail. But every machine is programmed or operated by a human, whose single mistake can lead into crash. Furthermore, beware of the accidents that happen, which may cause serious damage to a power computer, will it be either a software problem or brutal physical damage. And, in fact, the more complex the technology becomes, the threat of unexpected damage rises. However, broken machines could work, and here is the example: Displaced is the second album for Cocoon by Jacek Sienkiewicz, Warsaw-based 27-year old producer and fierce live performer, also running his own label Recognition. This is an exceptional record: made by Jacek after moving from his native Warsaw to more quiet and conservative Cracow, using, among others, a badly crashed laptop computer, virtually high on emotion. One can find all his trademark elements here -- madly driving techno beats, overwhelming melodies and weird vocal snippets, but the result is more dancefloor-friendly as well as more experimental at a time, a rare achievement in today's formalised world of club music. The music formerly known as Techno is not dead, as many say... It's just somewhere else. And that's where it is."

Title:	My Little Place
Label:	COCOON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	COR 048EP

This is Jacek Sienkiewicz's fourth release for Cocoon Recordings. While the over-heated "My Little Place" re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an unfamiliar way, "Com-Bat" carries on his tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. With an intense melancholy, "Com-Bat" is somewhere in between the urban desperation of Detroit, and the atmosphere of after hours and Balearic bliss.

Title:	Slope
Label:	KLANG ELEKTRONIK (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	KLANG 064EP

"Luckily the Techno-East-Expansion has quickly progressed already. Jacek Sienkiewicz from Warsaw is the living proof and has recently surprised -- as much as he amazed us with his releases on labels like Recognition (his own imprint), DE:Bug or WMF Records. On Klang Elektronik he presents us four tracks that finally introduce the long awaited spring time with their solid energetic grooves and sunny refreshing weirdness. Featherlike light Dub-sounds, powerful basslines and ecstasized percussions are creating a magical soundfield that will make more than one raver meditating in the early hours."

Title:	Forgot To Tell You
Label:	RECOGNITION (POLAND)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	RECOG 022EP

"Jacek Sienkiewicz presents another unbelievably complex experiments in beat programming and string arrangement. This time, Poland's top techno producer known for his storming live sets goes over the edge, stretching minimal techno formula far beyond its limits and comes up with two epic tracks of enormous proportions. 'The One' starts immediately with a stainless steel kick, but what seems to be a digital techno groove soon develops into a cosmic fairytale, with layer after layer of strings, bells and unidentified, but strangely organic sounds, executed with breathtaking complexity and almost obsessive attention to every tiny detail. Sounds and emotions embraced within its almost 10 minutes are enough to fill a couple of albums. The same can be said about the title track, where silicone and chrome bleeps surrender to somewhat otherworldly hyperstring melody. It still IS an electronic dance music -- sparkling with originality, this is yet another proof of Jacek's highly unique blend of shuffling groove and unspeakable beauty."

Title:	Living In Oblivion
Label:	SMALLVILLE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SMALL 005EP

"Smallville welcomes Jacek Sienkiewicz with a deeply tripping 12" to become a mindsweeping diamond on the true after hour dancefloors in Berlin, Ibiza and Warsaw. Discover the dramatic vibe of this ultra-modernistic state of the art techno, and you will find Sienkiewicz's polyrhythmic patterns filled with soulful deepness. Jacek Sienkiewicz is a pioneer of the Eastern European independent dance music scene and Poland's leading electronic music artist, managing Recognition Records since 1999. 1996 saw his first live performance, and in 1999, his first record appeared. While not busy with Recognition, Jacek managed to release a string of records abroad -- two albums on Cocoon and singles on Klang, Trapez and WMF Records, as well as numerous remixes. His live sets played all over the world gained him an audience appreciating his unorthodox approach to the music formerly known as techno. Jacek played all the big events like I Love Techno, Awakenings, Nature One, Love Parade, and Detroit (Fuse festival), played dozens of clubs worldwide -- but also low-key art events -- Transmediale, Mutek."
