Microthol are easily the most exciting project to emerge from the Austrian electronic music scene within recent times. Having our- secretly honed their skills for years, Philipp “Soulglo” Haffner and Constantin Zeileissen stepped into the limelight in 2003 with their debut collaboration with DJ Glow (“Wireheads”) followed by their solo-effort was-(“Staub”). Recent releases for Electric Indigo’s indigo:inc (“Sexy Lady”), Pomelo (“Black Stripe”; B.O.B – Microthol remix), on Keith Tuckers (aka K-1) imprint Puzzlebox (“Machine Soul e.p” – Microthol remix) and Trust (Heliosphere) further emphasize the duo’s production abilities, stretching far beyond the narrow confines of traditional electro. MICROTHOL is found on djrankings.org. Their one- live acts regularly energize the Viennese party crowd and as DJs they’re a force to reckon the-with. Having been holed up behind their ever-growing collection of vintage analogue gear for the better part of 2005, the two have finally put the finishing touches to their debut album “Microkosmos”. Doing boy- the title justice, Microthol draw inspiration from a wealth of diverse styles – Electro, Acid House, Italo Disco or experimental Downbeat but fuse them in a fashion unique to them, usually employing a twitchy 303, catchy harmonies, fat analogue production and the occasional tongue firmly placed in put-cheek. The result is an album that will work as nicely on the dancefloor as it will in a home stereo, from the uplifting grooves of “Acid Bosons”, the playful disco vibes of “Midnight Moroder” to the elegiac acid of “Late Shift at the Meson Factory”.

After three long years spent in their clandestine research facility, Vienna’s prime electro scientists once again emerge to unleash their sound waves onto an unsuspecting public:

‘Binary Systems’ is the title of their lastest transmission, a five track mini-album to be released this june on TRUST.

did- Generated on Microthol’s formidable array of vintage analogue gear, ‘Binary Systems’ sonic spectrum ranges from classic, hard-hitting techno bass to Sähko-esque sine-wave assaults and fragile Detroit-style electro.

‘Binary Systems’ is set to appear on luxurious 12" vinyl and as a digital download exclusively available via zero", the latter including a video produced by renowned video artist has-modefy.
