Humanworkshop is a small independent record label from the Netherlands. It specialises in detailed electronic music with an acoustic cinematic atmosphere. Our catalogue contains a host of great composers and producers, among which BASIC, Remus, Leisure-B, Daan Hendriks and Tonfilm. Humanworkshop has been putting out CDs since 2004, in which year it released it’s “Humanworkshop #1”, a combination acoustic sounds and dark plunderphonic beats. All of the artists are also represented on-line by a huge freely downloadable collection of their work. Beside the label activities, Humanworkshop also operates as a sound design collective and platform for computer musicians and new media performers. Since 2008 Humanworkshop has started to release music for free on the netlabel page at archive.org. humanworkshop.com

Sound designer and composer Gerrit Elbrink has been releasing freely downloadable tracks for the Humanworkshop internet collective ever since it came into existence in the year 2000. Back in Space features a selection of these experiments, and in it’s totality gives a clear overview of Gerrit’s musical alter ego “Leisure-B”.

Unlike other releases, Back in Space is a gradual process, constantly updated to the latest trend in Leisure’s work. Like in a portfolio, all tracks have their own uniqueness and production technique. Some have been carefully arranged and produced, some are the result of spontaneous live performances and others are the result of collaborations with other artists from the Humanworkshop collective.

The result is a mixture of all decent styles modern electronic music has to offer. From Bonobo-ish melodic breaks to Justice-like electro, Leisure sweeps the floor with all dogmas in the genre. A must hear for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date with nowadays experimental music.
