"Hamburg musician Tom Fleishchauer has been active as an organizer of several remarkable events, such as the Dub Conferences, or his recent house/techno club called Drift, as well as being a musician in bands like Faith Healer, Schwester Schwester, Rossburger Report (on the 4AD label), and as sound engineer to the likes of Blumfeld. Here is his debut CD on Decode recordings: 1336. It pictures musical landscapes and atmospheric impressions created by reduction and analog warmth. A very personal and emotional album, in 61 compact and homogenous minutes Relais covers the wide range from warm, organic, minimal electronic (like the melancholy opener 'Erik', a tribute to Erik Satie, or 'Rekonvaleszenz', a dark Coil-like epoch), through soulful house tunes and Detroit inspired techno, to disturbing sound scenarios like the Gescom-esque track 'Radiojet'."

"Ill-Young Kim might be known to some of you through his appearance on the German VIVA channel or his recent movie St.Pauli Nights by Söhnke Wortmann. Otherwise you might meet him in a café or a Cologne video rental store. His musical debut Spielzeug actually shows what the Cologne guy is doing most of his time: sitting at home and making crazy-funky music. Ill-Young is picking beats, whirling them around and creating new fragments with cut and paste. Filtered melodies are lifting you to heaven while the holy bass is giving the right punch for the floor and fantastic melodies release you from your earthy existence. Far away from scene-codes and Teutonic headmusic plays Ill-Young plays with his beats, kicks off with some funny voices and his favorite cartoon characters while loving old school synths and out of tune pianos. He arranges his music with more happenings per minute than you can easily (under)stand, just to keep himself from getting bored. The result could be called complex high energy electro-pop (or whatever), which might cause some synapses or legs to take up heavy movements. This is pure electro-fun on 17 tracks like they never came out of the plug. So do what you wanna do, Ill-Young does the same. And by the way, he loves Plaid, Clear and Rephlex, just to give you a clue."
