shitkatapult strike 89 – 2XCD – out april 4th, 2008
This is an amazing double CD from one of our favorite labels.
Some of the best music we have heard this year.

sascha ring aka apparat remains special: this new double cd release on
berlin label shitkatapult presents a first and fine collection of apparat´s
remix work until today.

cd 1 showcases 11 giant mixes he did for artists like paul kalkbrenner (w/ ellen allien), francesco tristano, swayzak, boys noize, lusine, nathan fake, meteo/thiel, nitrada, raz ohara and himself. Plus an unreleased live apparat re-version of “let your love grow” by moderat (a cooperation between modeselektor and
apparat) feat. the great tikiman (aka paul st hilaire).

cd 2 assembles 11 re-mixes done for apparat plus several apparat remix 12″.
all of them appear on cd for the first time: telefon tel aviv, modeselektor,
chris de luca vs phon.o, thomas fehlmann, monolake, boys noize, lusine and
many more are featured artists. also this cd features a previously
unreleased mix: shrubbn!! remixing hailin from the edge.

btw:
shrubbn!! is a new techno monster project by hamburgs digital punk producer
schieres and t.raumschmiere. strange as usual (see also the great dave gahan remix on mute) the shrubbn!! remix presents a
half beat double bass heavy tune that kicks floor and brain. hailin from the
edge on the corner of what you can roll on.

all together remixes – and parts to be frickeled is a giant showcase of
nowadays electronic music pioneers merging their ways of making music. club
killer tracks as well as silent epics and musical wonders find together
in apparat´s musical cosmos. this cd is not meant as a follow up of the
successfull “walls” album, rather a way to understand apparat´s background,
friends, influences, work and ideas. if you like “walls” you surely love
this one – and even more you can step into this new motion of electronic
music that takes both steps: loops/tracks/club music vs. songwriting,
soundscapes, and new ways of experimenting and understanding what is
possible with bits and bytes, instrument(al)s and vocals.
