“’The original’ and ‘originality’ are two similar sounding terms with yet entirely different meanings. One denotes something unique, the first piece of its kind while the other stands for ingenuity. As different as the two words may seem at first glance, there still is a hidden connection between them.

On their already sixth album on iD.EOLOGY, Zengineers let their inquiring minds run wild. Carefully they disassemble the originals of various netaudio-artists from Entertainment for the Braindead and Tracing Arcs to Monokle, Dub One! and some others into their constituent parts, analyse their multiple interactions and set out on a search for the soul of the tracks – as well as their own. The erotic elegance of salsa, the cool yearning of independent pop, the psychedelic intricacy of electronica and all the other moods, vibes and attitudes that Zengineers find at the heart of the tracks, they then transport out of their original contexts, un-originalise them, and blend them with their very own, multi-layered drum’n’bass beats that range from liquid and subtle to cutting and banging.

The result is a mixture that is far more than one sweeping, constantly varying stream of new musical detail and niceties, references and impressions. It is also a piece of applied, audible philosophy: the unique nature of both people and music arises from the ingenious combination of the most different elements from the most different original sources. What creates personality is the synergy of original and originality. Found the connection! The soul is a remix!”
