Karsten Pflum – Revealed EP

The release features Karsten Pflum tracks from parent label Touched Music's Covert compilations by mystery artists (hence the EP title), along with some new remixes by Humanoid, John Tejada and Rolando Simmons.

Inspired by the Caustic Window ‎– Joyrex J9 picture disc, the label suggested having Karsten Pflum's actual Elektron Machinedrum on the front. I kept it "as is", very much used and slightly battered, the display tweaked to display artist, track and record speed. I also had some images of his other gear and that sparked the idea for the B side design.

I always like to try and do something a bit different on each format of a release and for the CD I didn't want to do just a miniaturised version of the vinyl. The back features exclusive artwork and the track information layout is different. The CD also includes an additional three remixes.
