Berlin-based producer Florian Kupfer marks his return with a limited edition lathe-cut 12" and full-length cassette album on Ediciones Capablanca.

Press rewind to 2013, a young German producer going by the name of Florian Kupfer stepped up on Ron Morelli’s blossoming L.I.E.S. imprint with a debut 12″ featuring a new classic – the extra vibey ‘Lifetrax‘ – that would soon become one of 2013's highlights and an anthem of the self-established ‘lo-fi house’ community.

A decade later, Kupfer steps up to release 'Lifetrax II', a full-length foray into hypnotic, minimalist electronics "veering from rugged electro & industrial rhythms and fractured noise to disorientating drone and provocative samples of consumerist critique and plundered media."

‘Lifetrax II’ is said to be "an ambitious work of crude, outlying dancefloor exhilaration and resonant, enigmatic experimentation. Low-slung, upfront, relentless distillations of EBM and techno, as well as uniquely rendered incursions of electro and industrial music, sit side by side with delirious vignettes of defective drone and noise."
