Privilege Glitterbug

The most exciting and intriguing undertaking of the flourishing Glitterbug, is his breathtaking new double-CD / 2x12'' album 'Privilege'. Scheduled for release May 17th, 2010, 'Privilege' is a milestone that continues Glitterbug's line of venturous sounds and overflowing inspirations, exploring and uncovering new frontiers of techno with 20 brand new tracks in an epic double CD with 2h20min playtime, and a 2x12'' in beautifully sounding club quality with 8 tracks and 1h02min playtime, including a vinyl only bonus track. (The dedicated vinyl buyer additionally gets to download the CD album tracks for free, more info below). Glitterbug's debut album 'Supershelter' (Oct. 2008) made huge waves across music critics, magazines and fans around the globe. His following EP 'Dim Flares' and remixes kept unraveling his musical surprises and the unmatched sound of an epic Glitterbug world. 'Privilege' is an emotional and passionate production. Glitterbug's sensitivity to sounds keeps unraveling and revealing a unique language that spans between abstract composition, ambient, pop music, and the one ingredient that binds it all: Techno. With 'Privilege', Glitterbug takes the listener on a journey to explore new terrains, inverted and unconditional, drawing the full attention of every nerve and sense. If 'Supershelter', was still searching for a refuge, 'Privilege' goes farther, to explore alternative prospective landscapes, uncharted territories of unearthly lands. 'Privilege' was produced partly in Glitterbug's Cologne recording studio and partly “on the road” during his international performance tours in 2009 between the Arctic Circle, southern India, Israel, Europe and China (and everywhere in between). Fragments of field recordings he took in these places appear in many of the tracks, some are apparent, others very subtle.
