Info for RE: ECM

Selten schieben Alben schon vor ihrem Erscheinen derartige Bugwellen aus Erwartungen und aufgeregten Spekulationen voraus, wie die für Mitte Juni zur Veröffentlichung angesetzte "Re: ECM" des DJ/Produzenten-Duos Ricardo Villalobos und Max Loderbauer. Mit dem in Berlin ansässigen Chilenen Ricardo Villalobos veröffentlicht erstmals eine der größten internationalen Ikonen der Techno- und Club-Kultur ein Album auf Manfred Eichers Renommier-Label ECM. In rund 20 Tracks auf zwei Alben verarbeiten Villalobos und Loderbauer das musikalische ECM-Erbe zwischen Knaifel, Sclavis und Abercrombie zu einer minimalistischen Werkschau in Sachen Ambient-House und Elektronika.

Das "Re: ECM" schon sechs Monate vor Veröffentlichung den Leitartikel der ersten Groove-Ausgabe des neuen Jahres einnahm, war kein Zufall. Zu wichtig ist diese Platte in Elektronik, Minimal-House und Avantgarde-Kreisen, zu einflussreich wird sie im Spannungsfeld der renommierten Genrepostillen und des breiten Feuilletons sein - 2011 ist das Jahr von Villalobos / Loderbauer und "Re: ECM".

„Klangstoff für Atmosphäriker." (Stereoplay)

„Electronica-Remixe durch das Programm des renommierten Jazz und Klassik-Labels ECM." (musikexpress)

„Klingen tut das alles hervorragend, nicht zuletzt, weil im Unterschied zum Techno die Dynamik weit ist." (Stereo)

„Der Techno-DJ Ricardo Villalobos und der Musiker Max Loderbauer haben die Musik von Arvo Pärt, Christian Wallumrod, John Abercrombie und anderen ECM-Künstlern in beeindruckend komplexen Ambient verwandelt." (Rolling Stone)

Ricardo Villalobos
was born in the capital of Chile, Santiago, in the year 1970. However, at the age of three he moved to Germany with his family after General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the socialist government of Salvador Allende in 1973.

Ricardo Villalobos is a Chilean electronic music producer and DJ. He is well-known for his work in the minimal techno and microhouse genres.

Villalobos was born in the capital of Chile, Santiago, in the year 1970. However, at the age of three he moved to Germany with his family after General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the socialist government of Salvador Allende in 1973.

When Ricardo was around 10 or 11 he started to play conga and bongos. Though he loved music, he could never see himself as a musician. In the late eighties he began to make electronic music. From a very young age he has been a a big fan of Depeche Mode, even following their tours around Europe to listen to them.

Villalobos takes much of his inspiration from Depeche Mode, as well as other artists such as Daniel Miller, Thomas Melchior, Baby Ford, Daniel Bell and Andrew Weatherall. He has also taken inspiration from rhythmic South American music.

Villalobos began to play his music at parties while he was studying at university, but this was only for his own enjoyment. He started a label, Placid Flavour, in 1993 but this was unsuccessful. His first record was released on the German Playhouse label in 1994 and he began DJing as a professional in 1998, and is in present times regarded as one of the most important minimal DJs in Europe, alongside other talented chilean djs and producers such as Luciano Nicolet (an occasional collaborator) and Dandy Jack.

Max Loderbauer
Active as an engineer, producer, and musician across four decades, Max Loderbauer first came to notice in the late ‘80s as a member of Fischerman’s Friend. Known then as Daimler Max, Loderbauer’s associates included Stephan Fischer and Tom Thiel, as well as producer Thomas Fehlmann. Once the group went dormant, Loderbauer and Thiel established Sun Electric; one of the leading sources of entrancing downtempo and ambient techno through the ‘90s, the duo issued their best work on R&S subsidiary Apollo, including the 1995 live set 30.7.94 and the following year’s Present. During the 2000s and 2010s, Loderbauer collaborated in numerous settings, including NSI with Tobias Freund, Chica & the Folder with Paula Schopf, and Moritz von Oswald Trio with Vladislav Delay and von Oswald. Loderbauer was partly responsible for some of the most progressive and experimental electronic music released during these years. In 2011, he and contemporary Ricardo Villalobos assembled Re: ECM, a project that involved radical transformations of ECM label recordings by the likes of Bennie Maupin, Christian Wallumrød, John Abercrombie, and Arvo Pärt.

Re:ECM is a 2011 album by minimal techno producers Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer. It uses recordings released on the ECM Records label primarily associated with jazz and contemporary classical music as the basis for the tracks.
