Electronic pioneers Propaganda follow up their acclaimed 2024 comeback with Remix Encounters, a
broad and brilliant remix album featuring Moby, Tangerine Dream, Rhys Fulber, Schiller, and more.
After the widely praised release of their self-titled comeback album in October 2024, Düsseldorf’s
legendary art-synth auteurs return with Remix Encounters, a thrilling reimagining of their latest work.
Released on Bureau B, this remix collection reflects the enthusiasm Propaganda’s return after three
decades of silence has ignited among contemporary artists, who approached the project with fresh
energy and creative freedom.
Since breaking new ground with their seminal 1985 debut A Secret Wish and its pioneering remix
companion Wishful Thinking, Propaganda have thrived on transformation. Yet rather than revisiting
the past, Remix Encounters looks forward, building on the vitality of last year’s album and celebrating
its widespread critical and fan acclaim.
What began as a remix request from Finnish electronic maestro Jori Hulkkonen, returning the favour
after Ralf Dörper’s contribution to his last album, quickly blossomed into an international collaboration,
drawing in luminaries such as Moby, Tangerine Dream, Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Delerium),
and Schiller.
Embracing openness, Propaganda spent the fourth quarter of 2024 encouraging the wide range of
musicians inspired by their triumphant return to offer their own interpretations. Each brought their
distinctive voice to the material, resulting in a thrilling journey through electronic subgenres, from
EBM and industrial to rave, ambient, house, and beyond.
Rhys Fulber opens the album with a brooding, machine-funk reinvention of “They Call Me Nocebo,”
evolving from a sleek, sinuous introduction into a relentless pneumatic stomp. Next, Schiller offers a
powerful remix of “Distant” that balances raw electro-house and techno energy with the emotional depth
of EBM, before Moby transforms “Purveyor of Pleasure” into a furious early-’90s rave anthem, fusing
breakbeats and rolling basslines that pulse with nostalgic urgency yet feel unmistakably modern.
Elsewhere, Finnish polymath Jimi Tenor infuses “Vicious Circle” with cosmic jazz and dub textures, while
Pyrolator, a key figure in Düsseldorf’s avant-garde scene, delivers a shadowy reinterpretation of “Love
Craft.” Cult With No Name also contribute a brooding electro-ballad version of the same track. Propaganda’s
own Michael Mertens teams up with longtime collaborator Hans Steingen to re-envision “Dystopian Waltz,”
shifting its time signature to a gripping 4/4 and intensifying its ominous mood for darker dance floors. The
range ofremixers speaks volumes: from industrial punks Gewalt and synth purists Metroland to ambient
pioneers Tangerine Dream, Remix Encounters unites an eclectic group of electronic artists bound by a
shared reverence for innovation and Propaganda’s distinctive voice.
Recorded and remixed across creative hubs from Düsseldorf to Los Angeles, Helsinki to Paris, Remix
Encounters is far more than a companion piece. It is a celebration of Propaganda’s enduring influence and
the vibrant, evolving electronic landscape they helped shape. Each artist engaged deeply with the band’s
richly textured and cinematic sound world, reinterpreting it with enthusiasm and respect, producing a
collection as diverse as it is cohesive.
