160 | chris maico schmidt – the brightside ep
It’s certainly no exaggeration to say that Chris Maico Schmidt helped shape the history of techno in the 1990s with projects like Cybordelics and immortal classics such as “Adventures of Dama.” Mike has always remained a present and driving force in the scene through various projects, and since 2016 he has also been active under his real name, Chris Maico Schmidt. His new EP “The Brightside” traces the sometimes subtle and sometimes radiant glow within sound—from the inside out. “The Joy” celebrates the feeling of pure, unfiltered energy. “The Flow” carries this vibration onward, letting it dance, drift, and connect. Finally, “The Spark” leads back to the very moment when it all began: a single spark that ignites light and movement. With gentle euphoria, rhythmic openness, and emotional clarity, The Brightside EP is an invitation to feel your own resonance—bright, free, and alive.
