Two raw, previously unreleased productions from 1996. On the A-side of BM06 lies a track where house and techno come together to shape a mysterious, hypnotic atmosphere. “Sinh Session” is coloured with the warmth and passion that Deg absorbed from his musical influences of the time and it reflects an era of great emotional importance: for him, each track holds a story. The second track “There is no hope?” was co-created in 1996
with long-term associate, Mike D.M.A. (they’d been producing together since 1989). Its title resonates with the impression of decline and saturation felt in the mid-nineties, as if everything has been seen and done. There seemed to be a loss of energy and appetite, which foretold a decline of the Belgian underground techno scene to come in the following years. Most of the Circadian Rhythms output, either made alone or as a pair, was created during one-shot live sessions that also spawned parallel projects in other styles. Deg and Mike were in a phase of constant self-assessment, always experimenting and researching. You could say a wind of change was blowing, a shift could be felt: in fact, what they were making was completely out of phase with their audience’s expectations. They took the time to explore other musical territories, deconstructing and rebuilding new foundations in order to create a very personal identity. As we can conclude today: time was, and still is, their ally. In their own words: “we’re not stuck in the past, we’re always thirsty for the future." |
