Editions Mego to release Anthony Child album

Electronic Recordings from Maui Jungle Vol. 1 will arrive on the label in November.

As Vienna institute Editions Mego near the end of their 20th year of record label ownership, the welcome album projects keep popping up. Having recently facilitated the latest LP from Craig Clouse’s Shit & Shine operation in Everybody’s A Fuckin Expert, Peter Rehberg’s label now plan to welcome a hallowed figure of Midlands techno into the EMego bosom in the shape of Anthony ‘Surgeon’ Child. This year has seen plenty of Surgeon-related activity, with Tresor undertaking an extensive reissue programme in addition to the man’s own archival remastering endeavours through the SRX label, but Child’s arrival on Mego adopts a much more contemporary approach.

Due for release in November, Electronic Recordings from Maui Jungle Vol. 1 features some 11 tracks recorded by Child whilst staying in Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii earlier this year. As Editions Mego state in a press release, “the jungle of Maui seems to have acted as a stimulus for this exercise in concentration and trance” from Child resulting in the sort of minimalist, droney electronics that fit snugly on the label. A full stream of album track “All Around And Inside” should give you an idea of the immersive sound executed by Child on Electronic Recordings from Maui Jungle Vol. 1.
