Ich bin meine Maschine Remixed Atom™

30 years anniversary of raster media edition repress / 180 g vinyl / Release Date: 13.02.2026

ich bin meine maschine is a spiritual track / ich bin meine maschine is a musical track / ich bin meine maschine is a scientific track

to underline this tryptic statement and to demonstrate the diversity  of one of atom™'s compositions that appeared on his 2013 »HD« album,  raster now re-releases the long sold-out vinyl ep featuring remixes by  boys noize, function and atom™ himself.

 »ich bin meine maschine«, in an elaborate manner, illustrates uwe  schmidt's main musical concern - the exploration of electronics in pop  music. inspired by a statement of the cybernetician heinz von  foerster, atom™ generated a message that is playing around with a  widely-cited kraftwerk quotation, turning "ich bin eine maschine" into  "ich bin meine maschine" (i am my machine). besides the album version of »ich bin meine maschine«, the ep features  some dominantly techno influenced versions that perfectly connect the  pop attitude of »hd« with dancefloor functionality. the boys noize remix shows off alexander ridha's deft skills for  translating atom™'s futuristic pop into his own rough and driving  electronic language. on the other hand, atom™'s »linear remix« breaks  down the original structure of the song and turns it into a reduced  and much straighter, forward looking composition. function - one of  techno's true underground heroes - provides a remix that is breathing  the air of solid and hypnotic club music, in which just the essential  elements are streamlined and condensed into perfection. all 3 remixers adapt the track to their particular universe. by doing  so, they prepare the 12" vinyl for its final destination – the club.
