Anthony Rother - Don't Panic (Dataclash Mix)German producer and label owner, Anthony Rother, has had quite a prolific career with releases dating back to 1997. I hesitate to use the word "prolific" actually since it seems like a bit of an understatement. This Dataclash mix in particular is pure 4/4 electro with a heavily vocoder-ed "Don't panic/It's automatic" lyric, which comes as no surprise given that Rother is often credited for the "revival" of electro from the '90s going into the year 2000 and beyond.
Rother has also released ambient albums and of course is no stranger to the techno scene having produced records by Sven Väth (in addition to collaborating with Väth under the appropriate Väth & Rother moniker) and remixed tracks by Miss Kittn, DJ Hell and the list goes on. Other artists he's worked with include electronic percussionist, Karl Bartos, of the venerable Kraftwerk. But, I suppose to make this more relevant to blog-hausers, his Datapunk label put out Boys Noize's second official release, the 2005 record "Are You In?".
Ellen Allien - Trash Scapes (Anthony Rother Remix)As an added bonus you can download the 2003 remix Rother did of Ellen Allien's "Trash Scapes" track which makes an appearance on a minimix by Rex the Dog. Not only does it appear on said mix, it's blended with the intro to Mel & Kim's "Respectable". Mel & Kim!
