VERONICA DU LAC. Because It Pays So Thin.
Bill Youngman remix.
RELEASE DATE 27 JULY 2009
IN COLLABORATION WITH
HYPNOTIC ROOM SPECIAL EDITION
Getting Bill Youngman in on the remix was something both Andrez and Kana aspired toward, and the Berlin-based Tresor veteran (and frequent Tobias Schmidt collaborator) has here let down neither: His remix is true to the intent of the original, then sears its way into the psyche in completely unexpected, lurching, mind-bending machine-made ways. It’s so glorious, it aches.

FUNK GADGET. Blah Blah.
Patrick Pulsinger remix.
RELEASE DATE 10 JULY 2009
IN COLLABORATION WITH
HYPNOTIC ROOM SPECIAL EDITION
When it came to choosing a remixer for this track, Patrick Pulsinger’s name was at the very top of the list - and now we all know why. His mix is all wonderful bleeps, mesmerizing glitches, and chunky, sci-fi electro-tech grooves. In fact, after hearing this baby, we can’t imagine anyone talented or intuitive enough to tackle the eclectic coolness of ‘Blah Blah’ with such versatile ease.

DJ FODDER.
Busted Piano.
After a 10-year absence, DJ Fodder returns (minus one) – with the first Fodder release since ‘Cocaine Speaking’, which ended up being remixed by Mijk van Dijk, Dave Tarrida, Pnau, Pocket, Captain Funk, Jason Leach (Subhead), DJ Warp, DJ Hi-Shock, and others.
A decade later the equation is three versions of the same locked groove, with a tinkering of variety and "concerto" iconoclasm. Go figure. We love it.
1. A Quickie Opening Movement
2. A Slow Inexpressive Movement
3. A Faster Round Up

LITTLE NOBODY. Jass Muzak.
Wyndell Long remixes.
RELEASE DATE 25 JUNE 2009
IN COLLABORATION WITH ELEKTRAX
For his latest Little Nobody exercise in gripping, tech-seared introspection, Andrez went back to the “roots” of Chicago jazz, deconstructed the rhythm patterns of early jazz percussion, and reconfigured the outcome into the glorious freestyle techno-philanderings of ‘Jass Muzak’.
No shock that, remix-wise, Andrez turned to one of his favorite contemporary Chicago DJ/producers, Wyndell Long - a man who’d previously worked with Mike Dearborn and popped up on superb labels like Peacefrog, Djax, Pro-Jex and Primate—and one heck of a cool guy.

Jammin' Unit/Little Nobody.
Split 12-inch, Minus Vinyl #4.
IF072
RELEASE DATE 30 MARCH 2009
IF? boss and Little Nobody main man Andrez Bergen first met Cem Oral (Jammin’ Unit, Ultrahigh, G104 and one half of Air Liquide) in 1996 in Sydney, Australia, when Cem was touring at the same time that Andrez was there to launch the IF? Records compilation, Zeitgeist 2, in that city.
Andrez prompty got quite smashed and stuck an IF? sticker on Cem’s shoe, and they’ve been mates ever since: Back in '97, Cem did a remix of Sydney outfit Krang for the third Zeitgeist comp ('Z3') through IF?, and this year he remixed Andrez’s track ‘Robota’.
So it was only a matter of time that the two did something split together like this, and the two tracks here hint at both practiioners’ ongoing affection for ‘80s computer games and/or classic B&W sci-fi movies and robots. We’re not sure which particular one holds sway.

2. Little Nobody – All Humanoids Must Not Escape (Stomp ‘Em While You’ve Got ‘Em Mix)
