Ellen Alien Releases New Album Alientronic Out Today

German techno artist Ellen Allien has released her latest album Allientronic, a brooding techno album off her own BPitch Control record label. This is the Berlin techno artist’s tenth album release over a span of 18 years which began with the release of her 2001 album Stadtkind.

“The LP was recorded during the cold winter months in Berlin at the end of 2018,a time when creativity hits a peak in the city,” Allien’s press release explains. “Sub-zero temperatures and dark nights keep the artists locked away indoors, finding time and space to journey inwards and tap into the deepest recesses of their creative energy.”

Alliens last album Nost was released back in 2017.  This release brought together the DJ’s best known eccentricities where she blends various kinds of electronic music from different eras.

“While there may be dull moments that are not consistent with the overall feel of the album or simply plod on for far too long, there are many more instances where the loops astonish the audience with their creativity and simplicity,” Drew Pitt, reviewer for mxdwn.com, noted. “The imaginative approach to loops and various genres of electronic music make this a must-listen for any fan of the genre, but it may be best left out of the hands of beginners who are looking for a more relatable structure.
