Description:

'Mer (Phobia)' is about fear, the frightening feeling of being 
alone in a dark place, about anxieties we share and the 
hatred that imbues our minds. Phobia is an engine that creates 
power, a dark power deep inside our subconsicousnesses waiting 
to be released.  
Hatred is the consequence of fear and destruction the result of hatred. 
'Mer (Phobia)' is about destruction, 'Mer (Phobia)' is about fear. 

The Track 'Mer (Phobia)' is part of 'Industree' by Massju, first published 
by our friends of the US netlabel 'Electro-Space'. The Mer (Phobia) Remixes 
feature interpretations of innovative electronic-music producers with 
different stylistic backgrounds: Toxonic, Jens Robot of Illphabetik Records, 
Taktalsmittel's Org, Flextronic, Hirnsalbe, Weirdandwired's Wolfseule, 
Mouse Motion Listener, Massju and Electro-Space artist Tlahlok. 

The Remixers:

Toxonic, a Reaktor -Nerd and Breakbeat-producer par excellence, lives and 
Works in massju's neighbourhood. His productions are very elaborated and 
high-quality enough to bear comparison with well-kown breakcore 
producers such as Enduser or Bong-Ra, and this is no exaggeration. 
Check out Toxonic's Space for more tracks and information and be prepared 
to hear more of him at weirdandwired.net very soon.

Jens Robot, head of danish Illphabetik-Records and passionated Hardcore/
Breakcore-producer is playing his game with Mer (Phobia) the oldschool-way. 
Transforming this piece of music into this wicked amen-style track needs 
a lot of weird energy. That's the way we like it here at weirdandwired. 
Thanks Jens!

Remix number three is by Org. Taktalsmittel.com is his homebase and a 
high-quality contribution to the  netaudio-world. Always intelligent and 
sophisticated his tracks find the way into the mind of the listener. 
His remix is no exception and strikes with hypnotic beat-patterns and 
deep subbasses that open the door to your hippocamp-region. 

Next up is Flextronic's world of sounds. Extensive would be a good 
approximation to the  stylistic varity Flextronic is familiar to 
(i.e. drum'n'bass, dubstep, grime, techno and minimal). 
Beats are the link between them.
As co-organizer of Tempo90 and Dub-Break-Terror events he gained 
a lot of recognition not only in his homebase Trier but inside 
electronic-minds in whole europe. Check out
Flextronic's space to get more information about his activities.

Hirnsalbe is the project of Carsten Buch (Sinus Force) and Thomas Fuchs. 
Their netaudio-outputs include releases at Haushaltsware. Sinus force 
colaborated with famous netlabels such as Broque and Legoego and is 
well-known for his weird techno-tunes and stomping beats. To get more 
of these great guys take a look at their homepage. 

Wolfseule follows up the weird sounds of her debut 'Unverdauliche Skizzen' 
and shows us what it means to destruct a couple of samples and re-organize 
them the unconventional way. Skipping beats, noises from hell and a good 
portion of madness make this remix a true Wolfseule-trademark.

MML stands for Mouse Motion Listener. This project is too secret to talk about. 
Listen for yourself and get convinced that a lot of weirdness is going on here. 

Massju's Remix is an aggregation of the original-track's main sujet - fear. 
To intensifythe frightening atmosphere massju strips 'Mer (Phobia)' down to 
its primary components and sends them through his brain-convolutions, 
the outcome is fear paired with craziness.

Tlahlok's Remix is also part of 'Industree' (Electro-Space 013). 
Tlahlok is knwon for his post-electronic almost apocalyptic works on 
Electro-Space. When he remixed Mer (Phobia) he seemed to know what 
it means to abstract the original composition  - that is to create a tensed 
atmosphere. Tlahlok's Remix is pure but not poor of phobia.

If you're interested in remixing 'Mer (Phobia)' and becoming part of this 
release, send an E-Mail to matthias [at] matthias-heiderich.de to get

Thanks to Khärlez at Electro-Space, all the Remixers, 
and the netlabel-supporters.
