Elec Pt.1 aka MANAGER_111 akaka TRAJICAL BITCH akakakaka THE MINISTER? And why is this guy making dirty rough banging chi-house/d-techno hybrid-tracks in his own special way? Born an raised in Duesseldorf, ANDREAS GEHM, the mysterious man behind that all - moved to Cologne a few years later. This proper guy stands not more or less for an uncompromising underground Techno and House conspiracy, whether you label it bleepy dry Acid , Chicago House, glitchy Acid-Phonk or shimmering Futura3000-Cosmic-Disco that definitely makes your ass move. The “D” stands for Duesseldorf and the “C” for Cologne, but of course these initials likewise pertain to Detroit [Techno] and Chicago [Acid House].
Elec Pt.1´s musical background also consists of classic NYC street Electro, New Wave, Italo Disco, EBM and other infectious electronic styles of the future-past-true-school as well though … His releases on the legendary Dutch imprint BUNKER RECORDS under his alias ELEC PT.1, as well as the other ones on CRÈME JAK, MATHEMATICS [Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being, Chicago], PSYCHO THRILL, SNUFF TRAX and SKY`S ABLAZE and Abstract Acid demonstrate what this T-Bizz man really wants to express through his releases: Music, which always is uncompromising and dirty, gloomy, but ultra phunky. The MANAGER_111 debut release on Psycho Thrill Recordings used to stay in this kind of fashion too. The five tracks of the “Penthouse EP” are already 11 years old, but they can still be played even in another 20 years from now, as they do not possess so-called “signs of the time”, since timeless tracks like these don`t need and never had any expiration date!
