Ellen Allien: “Data Romance (TokTok Remix)” (BPitch Control 2001)

In combing through my old vinyl I’m falling in love with early Ellen Allien tracks and remixes like this one. There really was an odd magic to the convergence of techno, electroclash (or whatever you want to call it), electro, pop, italo, and IDM in really interesting and fresh ways. BPitch Control was really on the vanguard of that as far as I heard it, with nearly every single record being reliably great for years.
