DEUTSCH
"Passend zu einer Zeit, in der unsere Erinnerungen an entrückt verschwitzte Clubnächte einem
Paralleluniversum zu entstammen scheinen, widmet sich die aktuelle Broque-EP von Mar io mit
Haut und Haar downbeatiger Elektronika. „Twilight of Ages" steckt voller Reminiszenz an die 90er,
aber eben nicht an den Dancefloor, sondern den angrenzenden Chillout, der schon immer der Ort
war, an dem die nachhaltigen Geschichten erzählt wurden und wohltemperierter Wohlklang
gleichberechtigt neben abstrakter Experimentierfreude stand. Nach seinen Club-orientierten EPs für
z.B. Form & Terra und nicht zuletzt seinem Album auf Broque zeigt Mar io hier, daß er Plaid,
Biosphere, The Orb und der gesamten Space Night-Chose in nichts nachsteht und widmet mit
„Space @ Night" gleich mal ein eigenes Stück dem überraschend in 2020 verstorbenen Pascal
F.E.O.S., der abseits seiner Rave-Abenteuer gemeinsam mit Alex Azary und Gabriel Le Mar als
Aural Float einer der treibenden Köpfe hinter dem Space Night-Sound war. Während „Space @
Night" stellvertretend für den hohen Anspruch der EP sowohl verträumt als auch verspielt durch
den Raum gleitet, läßt die EP als Ganzes die Blütezeit des dubbig athmosphärischen Ambients und
verspielt vertrackter Stolperbeats auf sieben Tracks wiederauferstehen und bereitet damit nicht nur
denen eine Freude, die ihre eskapistischen Erweckungserlebnisse der wilden 90er eher im Chillout
als auf dem Dancefloor erlebt haben.“
ENG
At a time when our memories of sweaty club nights seem to stem from a parallel universe, it seems
just fair that Mar io's latest broque EP dedicates it heart and soul entirely to atmospheric downbeat
electronica. "Twilight of Ages" is full of reminiscences of the 90s, but rather than telling tales of
dancefloor hysteria, it takes the turn right into the adjacent chillout rooms. Any many may recall
that the chillout of the 90s has been the time and place where soothing ambient spheres combined
with an unhindered drive towards experimental electronica have made a long-lasting impact on
contemporary music by constantly bending and blending genres and sounds. After his club-oriented
EPs for labels such as Form & Terra, and last but not least his album on Broque, Mar io shows here
that he has the potential to stand up to the likes of Plaid, Biosphere, The Orb and the
whole Space Night posse. With "Space @ Night", he even dedicates a track of his own to Pascal
F.E.O.S., who died surprisingly in 2020 and who, apart from being well-known for his rave
adventures, had been one of the driving forces behind the Space Night sound, jointly with Alex
Azary and Gabriel Le Mar under the Aural Float moniker. While "Space @ Night" is representative
for the high ambitions of the EP, gliding through time and space both dreamily and playfully, the EP
as a whole resurrects the heyday of dubby athmospheric ambient sounds and playfully broken
downbeats across seven diverse and enchanting tracks. As such, the charms of “Twilight of Ages”
will delight and embrace everyone, by no means limited to those who have experienced the
escapism of the 90s in chillout rooms rather than the dancefloor."
