DIN (A) Tod mastermind Sven Claussen returns with his new project. The limited 7" single "Kronos" provides a fascinating first glimpse into a playful sonic universe comprised of Cold Wave and Minimal Electro. The first single of "Sleepless In Pyongyang" will only receive a physical release as a 7" vinyl single that is strictly limited to 99 copies. This rare gem is destined to become an absolute collector's item for people with a distinct taste in music. The name "Sleepless in Pyongyang" conjures up quite contrasting associations: on the one hand, it reminds of the coldness and inhumanity of a totalitarian regime while also sporting a striking (and most probably deliberate) similarity to the title of a highly successful romantic comedy. The combination of both extremes is a kind of fitting description of the music of Sven Claussen's newest endeavor. The title track mingles electronic coldness with a menacingly distorted voice to an intimidating musical vision in a monolithic behemoth of a song dominated by the mechanical prowess of electronic machines. The b-side "Starlight Desperation" is a more breezy affair. Powered by cult-machines like Roland's TR-707 and the Juno 60 synthesizer, the song reminds of the golden age of Cold Wave. Produced by Christiano Santini. Retro-charms meet unbridled creativity in tracks that will touch, captivate and unsettle.
