Feels Like Drifting

Codec - DriftingThe first time I went to Berlin I'd taken a train in from Prague, where I was living at the time, and couldn't believe how cheap it was to get there. It was like the European equivalent of the Chinatown bus only it was the rail and ten times more comfortable with a spectacular view. The only thing on the agenda that weekend was finding Club Maria to see the French-Canadian freakshow that is Les Georges Leningrad. Years later I'd look down at the flyer and realize I'd seen Ascii.disko in a side room without quite knowing who that was. Whoops.
If relevance is what you're looking for then here it is: This track appears on a 12" split that Codec did with Ascii.disko which features "Drifting" on one side and "Phoenix" on the other. It's the latest release from German label (and Codec's own imprint), Body Function Records.
Where I wasn't too excited about Codec & Flexor as a duo, Codec alone is really putting his best foot forward with this absolute beauty of a record. If people who aren't familiar with techno or electronic music as a whole complain about it's vapidity and disconnect from any and all human emotion with its synthetic sounds and composition, this provides an excellent example of the sort of depth you can achieve within the genre. It strikes an emotional chord in me, at the very least, and I didn't even have to drop E.
