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 wanted Karsten's actual Elektron Machinedrum on the front. I kept it "as is", very much used and slightly battered, the display tweaked to show artist, track and record speed. I was also sent some images of his other gear and that sparked the idea for the design on the flip side.

The machines are arranged in a pattern around the disc with the wiring connecting them all at random, no two machines are connected the same

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

Card slipcase design – the display shows runtime instead of record speed and the back features different artwork
