After a series of acclaimed remixes, including of Madonna’s “Hollywood” and Mirwais’ “Miss You”, Christophe Monier aka The Micronauts launched his label Micronautics in 2004 with the release of this EP. Tracks A “High Rise” and B1 “Get Down” appear on the Micronauts album “Damaging Consent” released in 2007 on Citizen Records. “High Rise” has been nominated in 2009 for the 5th Qwartz Awards, dancefloor category. Stand back if it’s not this crazy Micronauts with the face-smacking debut release “Anarchie” for his own Micronautics imprint. This guy knows a thing or two about how to get a dancefloor quaking with his own special brand of electro-tech bizniss. First up on this slice is “High Rise”, a rinsing, bouncing romp with familiar technoid percussion and some serious bass-end action. Crazy synth lines and spot effects blast from speaker to speaker keeping the track moving and the listener guessing—inventive to say the least and pure Micronauts all the way! “Get Down” keeps hold of the mucky end of the techno stick with some serious acid work. Microdots behind your eyelids for this one, we think, but don’t get too lost or you’ll miss the absolutely madcap breakdowns. Last of all comes “Sinecitta”. With its jilted electro-breakbeats you’ll be writhing spasmodically before you can say “pass the orange juice” but at least you’ll have a smile on your face! It’s more top notch electronic dancefloor goodness aimed squarely at the lunatic party people that we all are at heart. Stand back for the next installment—We can’t wait!

DJ FEEDBACK: Supported by Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke, Sven Väth, Chris Liebing, Tiga, John Peel, Radio Slave, Damian Lazarus, Riton, Club Cheval, Andrew Weatherall, Phil Kieran, Slam, Ben Sims, Paul Woolford, Justin Robertson, Mr. G, Michel de Hey, Alvin C, Billy Nasty, Dan Kahuna, Chicken Lips, Danny Howells, Disastronaut, Ewan Pearson, Jim Masters, Jo Jo De Freq, Optimo, Layo, Keith Tenniswood, Lee Burridge, Mark Moore, Silicone Soul, Mary Anne Hobbs, Fergie, James Hyman, Eddie Temple-Morris, Scratch Massive, Bosco, etc. Tiga: It’s awesome. I love it. Dave Clarke: Charting it at number 6 at the moment. Andrew Weatherall: Yeah, excellent stuff, look forward to getting the vinyl. Damian Lazarus: Superb release. Track 2 side B rocks! Phil Kieran: “High Rise” is the one! Stand out stuff. Will play this loads I’m sure. Slam: Good to see them back. Love the long acid track. Paul Woolford (Back To Basics): Micronauts are wicked, right up my street. 5/5. Ben Sims (Theory Records): It’s totally my thing—like it. Justin Robertson (Bugged Out!): Amazing record. Alan Simms (Shine): Love the acid line on B1, this is just the ticket. In a world full of techno producers making the same record ten or twenty times before change the format makes this a breath of fresh air. This is seriously mutant music that just doesn’t do what the crowd are expecting but entertains them nonetheless. Alvin C (Medicine, Fabric): Good to see the Micronauts are back in action. They are one of my very favourite production outfits. “High Rise” is absolutely mental—fucking love it! Welcome back Micronauts. Ban Cave (Breezeblock Producer - BBC Radio 1): Great release. We played “High Rise” on the show. Billy Nasty (The End): Really like the first track, not sure about the vocal but will definitely hammer it when I get it on vinyl. Colin McBean (Mr. G): Fresh!

D’Parr (Stompa Phunk): Fucking amazing. “High Rise” and “Get Down” are brilliant, gonna rinse this at the club. Dan Kahuna (FC Kahuna): Really good. First two mixes are really useful. Love the intro to “High Rise”. Danny Howells: Fucking great! Gonna let that rip it up at the End tomorrow. Dave Chambers (Mother, Media, Under Water, The End) Fucking love this. Dean Meredith (Chicken Lips): Micronauts return in fine style! Disastronaut (Sonic Mook, Slack Sabbath): In Belgium this almost caused a blackout—huge surge towards the stage—a riot! Good track for drugged up monkeys. Eddie Temple-Morris (XFM): “High Rise”—great end of night bomb. Played at the Remix night at 12.40 a.m. I would love to hear a breakbeat version by Backdraft or JDS. Ewan Pearson: Really loving B1. A side is a bit too fast and furious for my sets at the moment. Really good and looking forward to hearing more! Fil OK (Nag): Quite mad, which is good. But more filler than classic. Beats aren’t very imaginative apart from B2. Freelance Hellraiser: I loved “High Rise”, especially the daft intro. Will test this out in Glasgow on Saturday. I reckon the Arches crowd will love it. Not as keen on the B side tracks. James Hyman (XFM): Love it! Definitely going to play it this weekend on “The Rinse”. Jim Hutchison (Soma): “Get Down” for me. ‘A’ side is a bit too bonkers but can see it going off ! Jim Masters (Base): Really like it—great set opener. Jo Jo De Freq: Love it, have played down at Nag already with mental crowd reaction. Love the big synth sweep intro. It’s got the sounds I’m after to fit in my sets and definitely peak time floor action. Keith McIvor (Optimo, Electric Stew): Very, very good, really enjoyed it. Keith Tenniswood (Radioactive Man): Yeah wicked stuff !

Layo (The End): Like B1. Lee Burridge: Been caning the acid house one (B1). Mark Moore (Electropogo): Mental, love it. Mat Carter (Checkpoint, Fabric, Haywire): Blimey, I thought my speakers had blown when I first heard this. A storming 12” that certainly has its place on dirty dancefloors. B1 is the bomb for me, bit more subtle than the main track. Matt Edwards (Radio Slave): I love the Micronauts but I just think it’s a bit too crazy. I do like High Rise and I’ll probably do an edit without so many breakdowns, I’m really into the drum sounds and those mad synths. Its great to hear some new stuff from these guys but it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped! Matt Meehan (Catapult): Anarchie’s the right word. “High Rise” is some top ass-shaking electro/techno stomper with chic. Full support, nice! Neville Watson (Checkpoint Charlie, 333): Bonkers French action, I am liking. “Get Down” has flitted in and out of my box since it came out in ’96 on phono, so the new mix is more than welcome. A top start top the New Year. I shall be heavily rotating. Omid 16B: Interesting, but not as interesting as their previous work, but I have to say it did raise an eyebrow. Keep it real boys, keep it noisy. Rev Milo Speedwagon (93 Feet East, Kiss 100, Herbal, Cargo): Eccy rush booty—really wonky but good. Rick Hopkins (Haywire): Micronauts or is it DJ Rush?! Still sounding good. One for the big systems. Sean McLusky (Return To New York, Sonic Mook): “Get Down” is excellent. Silicone Soul: Christ this is crazy! Tom Stephan (Kiss 100): I wouldn’t play it out but I think it’s pretty cool. Trevor Jackson (Output): Slightly disappointing after their storming return with the Mirwais remix of “Miss you”. Still miles better than the majority of shite around. Looking forward to hearing more.

Curtis (Empire): Super bien !! François Marché (Bosco, Panti Will): Je vais le tester à Toulouse demain. J’adore « High Rise », la montée de l’intro est super oppressante, le tout enrobé d’une certaine violence qui débouche sur le chaos. En tout cas bravo. Gauthier Keyaerts (BNG, Mash’ta, Quatermass): Ouaaaaah, poils de poitrine arrachés, suis collé au mur etc. Quelle patate ! Bravo gars ! « Get Down » est plus roots que roots, l’impression d’être de retour à la grande époque ! C’est vraiment du costaud, j’en suis dingue ! Jean-Philippe Renoult (France Culture): Je vois qu’il secoue toujours autant le dancefloor, et qu’il fait aussi renaître quelques vieux démons indémodables en face B. Bravo. Laurent Brondel (Statra): Ta musique tue. N’oublie pas de m’envoyer le 12” quand il sort. Maud (Scratch Massive): J’adore ton maxi, vraiment bravo ! Steve Lhomme (TMFFTMR, Ux4): J’adore ! J’ai « High Rise » dans la tête là. C’est bon ! Vive l’« Anarchie » ! Tampopo (Gigolo, Lasergun, Mil, Play’s Cool, ThrobDisk): PUTAIN CE SINGLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C’est génial, j’adore les trois titres. Très rough, avec un côté crasse oldschool ahurissant. Well done Monsieur Christophe. 10000000000000000000 mercis pour ce somptueux single. Je suis fan. TBO: C’est une bonne balle ! Sur la grande face un bon mélange qui tappe, original et un peu malsain-booty (une pincée de DJ Rush) avec la voix de la meuf et quand même barré. Tout ce que j’aime. Tu t’es mis au minimal avec succès sur ton track B2. C’est minimal sans être répétitif. La preuve que c’est possible. Vix (Technopol, KABP): Bravo pour les morceaux sur le CD-R, j’aime beaucoup !

DJ Magazine 02/2004: “French loons The Micronauts have been quiet the past few years but the aptly named ‘Anarchie’ sees them return in style and is an insane ride from start to finish. ‘High Rise’ starts off with the meanest, acid-tinged ghetto techno this side of DJ Rush, while the acid filth of ‘Get Down’ shows The Micronauts have been sprinkling microdots on their cornflakes again. Finally the percussive ‘Sinecitta’ takes the edge off their trip somewhat. And believe us, it is a trip.” Richard Brophy

Clubxtrem.net 03/04/2004 : NOUVEAUTÉS ELECTRO : THE MICRONAUTS “ANARCHIE” MICRONAUTICS Bon, ça n’est pas tout à fait une nouveauté (il a environ 3 semaines) mais, mon Dieu, quelle claque !!! Cet EP est composé de 3 morceaux. En face A, il y a le titre “High Rise” qui commence par une… montée surpuissante qui vous arrache les oreilles (il a dû bousiller ses filtres vu le son). Le pied distordu ravage tout et il arrive des sons par paquets de 12. Excellent pour retourner le dancefloor !!! Le break est excellent. Le tout est agrémenté d’une voix féminine qui subit les outrages de quelques effets mais qui donne au morceau une puissance terrible. La face B est composé des titres “Get Down” et “Sinecitta”. “Get Down” ressemblerait à de nombreux titres s’il n’y avait au bout de quelques instants d’écoute un premier break ravageur. Un son sorti d’on ne sait z’où et la reprise acid derrière déchire tout. Le reste comme d’hab est bien spé et bien dancefloor à la fois avec des sons qui arrivent de partout et une montée acid durant tout le morceau qui vous démonte les esgourdes !!! “Sinecitta” est le plus spé de tous. Un poil moins fort que les autres, il est basé sur une rythmique plus electro-boogie. Plus expérimental, à mon goût, son break a le mérite de calmer le jeu (il n’y a pratiquement plus de sons). Pour ceux qui ont aimé le EP de LFO “Freak”, cela devrait leur convenir. Pour ceux qui ont envie de découvrir (même si c’est pas un petit nouveau) de l’électro française qui arrache corrèque, ils peuvent prendre les yeux fermés. C’est vraiment génial !!!

RDS Sumo De House 03/2004 : THE MICRONAUTS «ANARCHIE» MICRONAUTICS Attention, du poids lourd dans les bacs !!! Deux artistes majeurs de la scène Électronique française lancent leur label en cette douce période hivernale... [...] Autre artiste, autre label avec THE MICRONAUTS et ses MICRONAUTICS... The Micronauts, producteur rare mais tellement doué qu’on lui pardonne de nous laisser de longs mois dans l’attente de ses nouvelles productions tant il fait mouche à chaque réalisation. Et il nous refait le coup, cette fois-ci avec ce magnifique single ‘Anarchie’ et son terrifiant titre leader ‘High Rise’. Un bon gros son de synthé noisy en intro pour faire fuir la colonie de blattes qui avait cru bon de s’installer dans votre intérieur pour passer l’hiver et ça déboule sur une énorme cavalcade hybride de techno, de house-rock, tout ça baignant dans un jus vocal un peu crasseux qui fleure bon les relents oldschool. My god, que c’est bon la musique électronique. Tampopo
