Anyma has been running ÆDEN as a show all year, since its Coachella debut and an Ibiza run after it. On August 14 it became a record label as well, opening with "Other Dimension," a collaboration with Brazilian producer Volkoder.
The single leads ÆDEN: Digital Renaissance Vol. I, due August 28. We Rave You reports the imprint is distributed through Interscope/Virgin, though the single's credits currently read ÆDEN Records and nothing else. Anyma's framing in the announcement is community: "Building a community of artists and creatives has always been an important goal for my artistic path."
Every imprint says that on launch day, so look at who got a track.
Four solo slots
Fourteen tracks, twenty-one credited acts before you count The Prodigy at the end. Anyma holds four of them: "Atoma" alone, "Other Dimension" with Volkoder, "Prophecy" with 19:26 and Baset, and the closing remix.
Four more go to a single producer with nobody else on the credit. Jast takes "Dancin," SLVR takes "Say Less," Colyn takes "When The Fire Starts To Burn," Goom Gum takes "March." The remaining six are pairs, and the pairs run the same direction every time. Kevin De Vries brings Platero, Massano brings Humans Musik, Argy brings 7 Skies, Stylo arrives with Q.U.A.K.E and ELI & DANI. Established melodic techno name, plus somebody with less to lose.
A 1994 rave record closes it
Track fourteen is The Prodigy's "No Good (Start the Dance)," remixed by Anyma and Stylo. Breakbeat, thirty-two years old, and a long way from the melodic techno everyone else on this tracklist is known for.
We wrote about The Prodigy here in January 2009, when the video for "The Omen" was recalled after failing a photosensitivity test. Putting that record at the end of a debut compilation is a claim about where this music comes from, made before a single track on it has been heard.
