about

Around 10 years ago, rotorik became known as a producer and live act in the area of the both weird and energetic "Brighton" techno, releasing several vinyls on renowned imprints, making it as far as being praised by BBC legend John Peel, and playing many legendary clubs and venues.

Now in 2011, rotorik once again ventures upon new areas with his first full-length album "Century Leader" (manoeuvre records mancd-03 / rotodrôme recordings roto-06). Once again he got inspired by British styles, but once again he is translating those into his very own type of sound language - by mixing up totally different genres, in order to create a new and daring mixture. Daring like a leader.

Evoking images of Bladerunner-esque sci-fi landscapes, like the coruscating metal of mega corporations' surveillance gliders under dark industrial skies, "Century Leader" is a complex high-tech work, unusually bursting with ideas & energy, experimental in both groove programming and sound design, yet always driving both body and brain.

"Century Leader" constitutes an unforeseen clash of sounds. For example, extremely heavy dubstep grooves and incredibly inventive basslines meet Belgian body music and industrial (including appropriate vocals by CS), while evacuation ambient (tm) soundscapes sometimes unexpectedly encounter traces of the powerful shuffling techno rotorik used to be known for.

With the change of style also come intrusive analogue basses that are now far heavier than from the 'old' rotorik, who was perhaps more known for his metallic precision... But of course you'll also find lots of the rotorik's trademark digital/fm sounds - it is still rotorik.

"Century Leader" is an album of many influences merged into one unique, uncompromising, independent style of electronic music - the sound of rotorik.

Released on manoeuvre records in February 11, 2011, it obviously consists of 11 tracks and costs you 11 Euros (compact disc version).
