# EB Premiere: Exercise One’s Tales of Ordinary Madness
It's hard to believe, but Marco Freivogel and Ingo Gansera's respected
techno project [Exercise One][1]{: target="_blank"} has been around for
a decade, quietly and steadily redefining what it means to be a live
outfit operating within club music. Over the years, the pair have put
out music on some of the most celebrated techno labels: [Mobilee
Records][2]{: target="_blank"}, Dumb Unit, [Cocoon][3]{:
target="_blank"}, [Wagon Repair][4]{: target="_blank"}... Suffice to
say, if you followed reduced, immaculately sculpted techno at any point
over the last decade, chances are you own a record of theirs. Of course,
there's always been something a little different about their music,
partly attributable to their spiritual alliance with the storied
Kreuzberg DIY scene (Freivogel's formative years were spent on the
industrial and goth scene, Gansera can be found drumming for a Berlin
punk band). Consequently, their techno feels disarmingly alive and
vital, key characteristics which also guided the direction of their own
label Lan Muzic.
To mark their tenth anniversary, they're releasing new album *Tales of
Ordinary Madness *and a series of remix EPs featuring reworks by
Deadbeat, [Sigha][5]{: target="_blank"}, Anja Schneider, Ewan Pearson
and more. In fact, it's ten remixers for ten years performing, nine
tracks for nine years of releasing records. You can stream the whole
thing in today's EB Premiere. Like what you hear? There will be an album
release party at Tresor on November 6th, for details hit up the
[Facebook event page][6]{: target="_blank"}.
