[019] Maarten van der Vleuten: Internaut EP

Release Date: February 2013

Format: 12” vinyl

Time for homegrown talent, one of the godfathers of Dutch Techno and a true electronic music pioneer: Maarten van der Vleuten.

This trailblazer has appeared on classic labels like R&S, Djax-Up-Beats and his own Signum Recordings, to name but a few, with his brand of machine music. Returning to Shipwrec, MVDV serves up his own recipe for Electro in the form of the ‘Internaut EP’. The title piece takes the rhythmic mould of the 808 but shifts the floorboards with industrial soundscapes and UK Techno sidesteps framing. A morphing and melting piece of otherworldly Electronics, over ten minutes of shifting synthsizer sands. “Holographic Inserts” lands with terse clips and pulsing basslines before a rumbling analogue chord breaks the surface. Warbling bulwarks of space meet clinical lines in an immense track of expansive proportions. An epic of atmospheric, sinister and sharp sounds; a style pushing the boundaries of Electro.

The first 150 copies are pressed on coloured/marbled vinyl. Comes in a silkscreen printed pvc sleeve.
