Super Hexagon Records present Leaving Time, a new EP by Christoph de Babalon. The EP has all the menace and grit that the Hamburg-born, Berlin-based producer is known for, but packs a potent, dance-ready punch that breaks new ground. Leaving Time begins with the snarling subs of "The Upper Hand", and momentum builds through the panoramic breakbeats of "I Trusted You" and dubwise groove of "Steps Into Solitude" to reach the symphonic release of "Got to Let Go". This record is doom-laden, introspective and crafted with intent. In short, it's CDB on a 140 / fwd tip -- fuck the chairs! Christoph de Bablon first became known for his work on Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings in the early 1990s and has championed a misanthropic take on drum and bass that has stood the test of time. A punk-influenced fusion of jungle, breakbeat and dark soundscapes, his signature sound has become the stuff of legend -- Thom Yorke once said Christoph's pioneering debut album If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It was the "most menacing record" in his collection. After a brief hiatus composing music for theater, recent releases on labels such as A Colourful Storm, V I S, and AD93 have sparked renewed interest in the German producer, and with much excitement from his loyal following of die-hard supporters. Full color printed sleeve.
