Accelerate by STEVE RACHMAD & HEIKO LAUX
A High-Energy Fusion of Past and Present
The collaboration between the Amsterdam and Berlin artists showcases their unique chemistry, blending cutting-edge production techniques with a deep reverence for the genre's roots. Crafted in the shadows, Accelerate is a meeting of two minds from two cities known for their underground energy, each bringing their unique influence to an exhilarating techno experience.
The reworked classics on Accelerate, which originally graced some of the most renowned techno labels between 2007 and 2012 on vinyl 12”, are newly mixed, edited, and turbocharged, pushing the limits of each track's original energy. All is recalibrated for a new generation of listeners—and they hit harder than ever. Alongside these revamped gems, Accelerate introduces new and previously unreleased material that will take listeners even further.
Accelerate is a relentless force that demands to be felt in all its depth.
