It’s with great sorrow that Achim Szepanski, label-owner and philosopher has passed away. His work with the creation of the Mille Plateaux / Force Inc. label(s) was highly influential on many electronic artists’ works and leads listeners away from typical compositional style.

On a personal note, both Achim and Lain took me into their musical fold with open arms and pushed my music into places that I hadn’t seen before. I am very grateful for their efforts and am curious to see what Lain’s next steps will be.
