Bpitch Control’s been around for 10 years? Already? Indeed. Just ask label owner Ellen Allien, a world-renowned producer/DJ that also happens to be a dominating force in dance music’s big boys club, from her rock-solid roster to a clothing line that’s as minimal as her techno tunes. Touring the states with labelmate Thomas Muller—a seriously underrated Parisian DJ that now lives in Berlin—Allien celebrated Bpitch’s first decade at Studio B on Friday night. Also on the bill: Gui Boratto, a Brazilian architect-turned-beat conductor who’s still riding high on his last record’s success (2007’s Chromophobia)—right on the eve of his second Kompakt full-length, Take My Breath Away.






At long last, self-titled launches its first exclusive mix series. We’re calling it Six + Six, and the idea is simple: You get twelve songs—two sides (A and B) with six songs each. Easy. In this debut edition, Associate Editor Aaron Richter selects his favorite music of the moment, some old, some new, with a vague theme that revolves around the French and Paul Westerberg. Or nothing at all. Enjoy!
