Bpitch Control Presents....
The label with the "fernsehturm" as their favourite cover emblem has been introducing diversity to the club society of Berlin since 1997. in the mean time there is no halt within the republic's borders. the label, created by Ellen Allien, tries to split the technoid-electronic microcosmos of the capital city with the function of being a platform for upcoming artists.

Berlin is growing from the important role as one of the cities where techno has been at home the most for the last 10 years to one where the world increasingly looks for inspiration. Bpitch control puts this consequently into practice and leaves its unmistakable marks on techno, hence "made in berlin".

Musically Bpitch control is not only defined by techno, it is a wide concept including self-organized parties on a regular basis, an open content label, visual implementation, and the successful move to keep the material conditions of production under it's own direction. Bpitch control considers itself a channel where the collective is the priority and the ideas of every individual have space. Reflection about the sound can become a mirror to the city of berlin. Acoustically bpitch control romps about in the vast plane of electronic music - just don't get stuck on one style.

BPitch Control Presents Ellen Allien Podcast May 2010

BPitch Control Presents Ellen Allien Podcast May 2010

Ellen Allien, owner of the BPitch Control label and Fairy Queen of Berlin's more delicately woven rave music, has been tinkering with the sound of the city for over a decade now. What has remained from all these years – packed with great releases, highly original remixes and exploratory mix CDs – are her five monolithic albums, each the condensed result of a completely different creative phase – made to stand the test of time. Indeed, looking back, each of them in its own right can be seen as marking a piece of techno history. You just have to think back to the feeling of astonishment upon hearing 'Stadtkind' for the first time. Or being spellbound by 'Berlinette'. Or being pulverised by the ARP in 'Thrills'. And let's not forget the superb collaboration with Apparat which resulted in 'Orchestra of Bubbles', perhaps the most beautiful indietronic gem to be produced in recent years. Now it already seems an eternity since Ellen Allien last remodelled her own sound with the sharp-edged diamond 'Sool' in 2008 – a release which opened the gates to a far-off parallel world where minimalist artefacts float through the room with a cool elegance and distanced allure. Yet, just like each of Ellen's previous albums, this was followed by a cut. A metamorphosis. A reincarnation.

With her new album, 'Dust', Ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. A warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. As such, what is perhaps Ellen's most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... The world according to Ellen.

'Dust' is available now on BPitch Control.
