Brinkmann has set up two labels for the exploration
of ultra-minimal techno: Ernst and Max. Ernst, which
has four records out to date, is supposed to explore 
the warmer side of minimal techno and features records 
named after women. Max, which has just one record out 
to date, is supposed to explore the harder/noisier side of
minimal techno and features records named after men.
All the records are produced using the ultra bizarre turn-
tables that Brinkmann made himself giving all the tracks
(including his recent Concept 1 remixes) a very unique 
sound. but don't expect the ernst or max records to sound
like the Concept 1 remixes. The ernst and max records
sound more like wierd versions of mike ink's studio 1
label material.
