As a workaholic DJ in the 90s, Arne Michel traveled throughout Europe and created
‘The Announced’ parties when most people had no clue what impact techno was to
have on the musical world. Back in the days releasing as “Thee Engineer” he returned
to the party circus in the last years without an alias. Now working in the independent
film business in Berlin and spinning at many a fine underground club on our vibrant party
circuit, he’s finding the time to put out some fine tunes for us.
‘Danke, Goodbye’ is Arne’s second release on Exercise One’s Lan Muzic imprint. The
title track is remixed by the mysterious Chat Noir – who is this black cat of minimal?
None other than Pan-Pot’s Tassilo, launching here his solo alias which he’s found the
time to create in between releasing the debut Pan-Pot album and touring all over the
world. Busy kitty!
On the logo side we find Arne’s beautiful charming and melancholic “goodbye / / danke”
to gently pluck your heart strings. But in the hands of Tassilo it gets a classical extended
remix, with Arne’s beautiful melody a bed for new punchy percussion and noise. To go
a bit darker….Black Cat Style!
On the info side Arne Michel shows the know how he’s collected over the years.
“Ignore” and “Osmose” are both serious all round club tracks. „Osmose“ has the focus
more on the beat and percussion. Osmosis is an exchange of energy, and can be made
to do work, as when a growing tree-root splits a stone. ‘Ignore’ takes us to a darker,
trippy side of the music without ignoring anything you might need to fall into its
deepness. Can you hear them? No – I ignore them!!!
