Has it really been over half a decade since Ellen Allien appeared on the cover of URB with fellow Berliners Richie Hawtin and Miss Kittin? Besides making me feel old (I could never again fly from LA to NYC to Berlin and back in 72 hours, without sleeping, just to get a story—ok, maybe…) this new clip from Ellen is a reminder of exactly why we were so psyched on her back then, and why we still perk up when news of a new Ellen Allien record comes our way. Although frustratingly short, “Our Eutopie” is a great example of the minimal techno-pop that has always been Allien’s specialty on wax. The new album, Dust, comes forth next week.
