Steve Bicknell - 27

Steve Bick­nell has been at the fore­front of the UK’s ever-grow­ing elec­tron­ic music scene since its infan­cy. His career, span­ning over 25+ years, has seen Steve grow from his ear­ly begin­nings as a young pro­mot­er and res­i­dent DJ to one of the UK’s most estab­lished, accom­plished and respect­ed tech­no artists cred­it­ed by many as a true pio­neer. His rep­u­ta­tion has tru­ly stood the test of time, so much so new­found labels such as KR3 Records have cen­tred their con­cept around Bick­nel­l’s legacy.

“High­ly inspired by S. Bicknell’s sonori­ties and Japan­ese cul­ture, our cat­a­logue is made of repet­i­tive and hyp­no­tis­ing music that invites you to let it loose and explore the lim­it­less poten­tial of our unconscious.”

In this release, the label reis­sues a sem­i­nal work from Bick­nel­l’s back cat­a­logue in the form of ​“Track 12”. Orig­i­nal­ly released in 1993 on his own imprint Cos­mic Records, the tech­no mas­ter­piece now gets three fresh inter­pre­ta­tions by Jing, Metro Skim and Heart­less along­side the orig­i­nal re-edit. 

“Out on Sep­tem­ber 27^th both in vinyl and dig­i­tal for­mat, 27 sym­bol­is­es a meet­ing point between past, present and future of tech­no. The music is there to remind us that time is cir­cu­lar, noth­ing is still and every­thing evolves.”
