Preceding the release of his next full length album, Dutchman Conforce has selected four tracks to release as the Dystopian Elements EP.

Aybee / Miles Sagnia – Eternal Radiance [AER004]
Aybee teams up with Miles Sagnia for two cuts each on the Eternal Radiance EP on Sagnia’s Atmospheric Existence imprint. Taking over the A-Side, Aybee serves up “A Glance” which oozes with classic US house charm. Acoustic piano chords and are layered on top of a chugging bassline and electronic melody, tightly produced and melting in its warmth. “Isis” gets heavier with a more underground vibe of crashing echoes and tinny drum arrangements. On the flip, Sagnia’s “Journey 2 Forever” fuses multi-tracked choral chants, the impeccable sound of the Hammond and a rapid techy groove. His Visual Foci Reprise of “Journey 2 Forever” ditches the chants, instead opting for a sensual male vocal.
Jeff Mills – 2087 [AXCD043]
Detroit heavyweight Jeff Mills has always been one of techno’s visionaries, prone to translating great concepts into near-cinematic soundscapes. Given techno’s roots, it’s no surprise that many of these concepts have been inspired by science fiction, and in particular obscure sci-fi films. Inspired by Franklin Adreon’s 1966 film Cyborg 2087, “2087” offers a dark and uneasy but at times brilliant mix of intense dancefloor techno, creepy electronica, woozy ambience and clunking IDM – all designed to mirror the cloying futurist horror of the original film.

Aubrey is providing a remix to close the EP.
