Ellen Allien – Butterfly

Ellen Allien – ButterflyFrom BPC300 Ellen Allien – Freak EPRelease Date: 29.08.2014Label: Bpitch ControlBPC Webshop: https://www.bpitchcontrol.de/market/browse/8898To be free, means to be a freak. Whether as a DJ, label manager, T-Shirt creator or all-round talent – since two decades, Ellen Allien is one of Berlin’s exceptional phenomena that have created her own universe with the combination of old school-based underground love and contemporary experimental spirit. After the lovely musical affair with Thomas Muller for the track „Free Nation“, for her new solo release we hear the anniversary bells ringing. The three tracks – which are co-produced by Martin Eyerer and Skinnerbox – already mark the 300th catalog number of BPitch Control.The „Freak EP“ is not only the result of the last months in Berlin; it also flags up the change to Ibiza, where Ellen uses the warm season to spray her positive vibe during her residency in DC 10. „Butterfly“ acts like the kick-off and not only host graceful 808 pinpricks, with the dreamy melody in the background a nostalgic aura raises that reveals Ellen’s warmer side. Especially the bass rumble emphasizes the physicality of her music in an impressive manner – in short: pure love. „Come To Me“ is desire and passion within seven and a half minutes. In addition to the deep house frame groovy beats pushes in the foreground that sets free a hypnotic mantra. Spineless dancefloor magic that rewinds time with the haunting rave signal, floating Roland synths and the SH101 raveline. With the title track „Freak The Night Away“, Ellen once more succeeded in creating a hymn that embodies both the slogan of every great night as well as the strong atmosphere of her energetic DJ sets. Again, we hear Ellen’s charming voice – crazy, playful, creative. Following the motto: just go! With rattling claps and a warm bass, dancing won’t become a compulsion; the track clearly goes under the skin with its 303 acid hints as well as Roland piano sounds and opens the gate to another dimension. A stunning release! Happy jubilee!

Xone:PX5 Mixer: Allen & Heath’s 4-Channel Mixer For The Masses?

The first images of the new Xone:PX5 mixer from Allen & Heath have appeared online after the company held an exclusive event at Kantine am Berghain in Berlin, Germany. So far it looks like the natural successor to the Xone:92, with built-in digital FX, send/returns, and a built-in soundcard. Keep reading for images and details.

Allen & Heath Xone:PX5 Details

It’s been a while since Allen & Heath has put out a feature-heavy four channel mixer, and this one has an impressive set of specs. Based on social media images from the event, the feature set includes:

  • 4+1 channel analogue mixer
  • Internal Xone:FX engine
  • Classic Xone VCF filter with HPF/BPF/LPF and resonance control
  • Four channels, each with Phono/Line/USB inputs
  • 20 channel 24-bit 96kHz USB2 internal soundcard
  • Send/Return and Master Insert mode connections for external FX
  • Dedicated Mic/Aux Input/USB Return channel with peak indicator
  • 3-band EQ on every channel
  • Record Out (USB and unbalanced RCA)
  • 2 ground terminals for turntables
  • X:LINK ethernet connection for plug-and-play connection to Xone:K series controllers

For those who haven’t used Allen & Heath mixers before, note that there is only one filter on the unit, not a per-channel filter. You assign the channel(s) to the filter and then are able to select what type of filter you want to use, and apply it. We mention this only because this is much different from other similarly priced units on the market like the Pioneer DJ DJM line up. That being said, Allen & Heath’s filters have always sounded impressive compared to Pioneer’s.

It’s also worth noting a few interesting elements about the effects on this mixer. First, the built-in effects seem able to be assigned pre- or post- each channel. The FX send also appears switchable between external, internal, and both. This might mean that you can send an FX loop signal out of the mixer, into your computer for digital FX, back through external hardware FX, and into the mixer again – a pretty powerful option if this is the case.

Xone:PX5 Price + Release

The biggest unknowns so far, as usual with these types of teasers, are the price and release dates. We expect a Fall  launch at either the BPM convention in the UK (September) or at ADE in Amsterdam (October). We expect the price to be somewhere around the current price of the Xone:DB2 and Xone:92, between $ 1,299 and $ 1,500.

Keep scrolling below for a bunch of other photos we’ve spotted around the web from the Xone:PX5 teaser event:
