about

BROKEN TECHNO!! This was the first thought that popped into my head when I heard Piotr’s demo. Broken in the very best way. <3

“Broken techno” was a term affectionately used by some of our German friends to describe the dark and hard techno and schranz sounds we were hearing years ago when we lived in Germany.

Until then, I had understood the idea of the so-called “broken techno”, but had never heard anything that really felt like what my heart envisioned as truly “broken techno”. But with those first few moments of distorted kicks and clicks of Piotr’s album I just knew, and you will too.

From the spontaneity of Phateus to the swagger of Palma, the beauty of Kinross to the aggression of The Trump, Piotr Cisak’s techno brings to the table not only heavy, distorted rhythms but also intricate field recordings and melodies layered and interspersed throughout, and the effect is quite lovely. We hope you love Piotr Cisak’s Matrix as much as we do.

"With sheer efficiency Piotr Cisak laid down these adventurous rhythmic tracks as if it’s a railroad to follow as it steers through a zoo of unexpected expectations. Minimal it might be at first sight, but masterly full will it be upon discovery with all senses open at the second sight! These tunes are the tickets to a tripped out trance state, one in which screwed up minds can align in tripping madness, tightly feeling the kicks, claps, noises, basses and all the additional untraditional hypnotizing coolness." - yeahiknowitsucks.wordpress.com/2019/03/09/piotr-cisak-matrix/

" The music of Polish artist Piotr Cisak is far closer to what listeners might recognize as minimal techno. Sure, the house groove of the title track is somewhat noisier, infused by static and chopped clips of delayed-out jazz records that haven’t been polished away into smooth surfaces… but it’s still techno that owes something to Force Inc/Mille Plateux’s soundtracks for European hair salons. Things go more sideways as the album progresses, with arhythmic analog squelch and harsher elements threatening to take the Wolfgang Voigt-ish relentless throb off the rails. Luckily, “Kinross” offers some recognizable signifiers of house music bleep, but not without a layer of distortion and industrial-strength backbeat. The final track, “The Trump”, is the noisiest of them all with the most irritating melody over beats that will make you wonder whether your speakers are blown. It’s a nice effect. “Matrix” is an album for folks who like their techno weird, but not so weird that it isn’t
still techno." - Vital Weekly www.vitalweekly.net/1193.html
