after heating up with sign bit zero s second release with wosto and label boss kilian krings, sign bit zero is now continuing with some edits by murray cy, the label honcho of contort yourself. the next release contains strictly rough tape material of old and forgotten cassettes from the eighties with a wide range from weird obscurites to strongly distorted material. listen!

following on from the under-the-radar success of mick wills edits of ale mania on sbz001, sign bit zero strides onwards with a set of punishing dancefloor interpretations of forgotten industrial gems handpicked by hamburg s wosto and label head honcho, kilian krings.

the first release from sign bit zero features two powerful edits from mick wills. giving new life to the track, ‘center’ by ale mania, a san diego based band, the cuts here contain wholly new structures with a greater focus on the oppressive yet powerful vocal parts and the uplifting string section. by extending the (acoustic) drum track and giving it the groove and strength we have come to associate with his edits, mick has created for us a unique take on the new wave / dark wave genres – ideal for any dj who wants to showcase this sound in a club-focussed context. ‘center’ originally appeared on the ep, ‘a, who sings that beat?’ on volar records and was written by andrew montoya, who has kindly granted us the permission to present this record to you all.
