  • Ostgut Ton is re-releasing Terence Fixmer's "Aktion Mekanik Theme" with a handful of remixes on June 8th. "Aktion Mekanik Theme" dates back to 2003, when Fixmer compiled Aktion Mekanik to shed light on the EBM and industrial music that had been a formative influence on his brand of techno. Originally released on Belgium's Music Man Records, the disc featured tracks from the likes of DAF, Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy. In addition to those classics, it also offered Fixmer's own "Aktion Mekanik Theme," which has fallen back into favour with DJs like Marcel Dettmann. The latter remixes the track on this 12-inch, along with two other versions from Kobosil and Norman Nodge. The vinyl release features all three reworks, while the digital package throws in Fixmer's original (which you can listen to below). "I was surprised as, to me, this track was a kind of forgotten one from a limited vinyl compilation," Fixmer says. "And it was a nice surprise to see that young artists such as Kobosil are into this kind of music, too. Marcel suggested to give this track a new life through remixes. The Kobosil one injects an amazing energy with a great sound, I wish I would have done such a version at that time."
