Naïf 008 opens a series of five ep´s that will be released around the release of the DJ-Mix-CD also named „naïf“ which has it´s release in April 2018 The first strike comes with two blinding Techno tracks: Running man is a contribution by the „Gentleman of Techno“ Steve Bicknell. The other comes from the young swedish Producer that goes by the name of KUF and who is part of the Arsenik Crew. Besides that we find two compositions by Phillip Sollmann himself that show his abstract and experimental Approach. While „Aliasing Bells“ is a texture of sampled tibetan bells „Tag3“ by his side-project „Autolyse“ is a jam on a light-sensor-controlled custom-made synth. Perfect for layering on top of a mix. After more then three years of silence as a producer, Efdemin a.k.a Phillip Sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the “continuous DJ mix” format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. The CD-mix, named Naïf, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers along with an additional ten that feature Efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). The release condenses his decade-long DJ-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno.
