Thematically Free Your Mind, and its forthcoming counterpart, Free Your Body, are a deeply personal exploration of both artists’ experiences of Multiple Sclerosis, a degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system.
After receiving a diagnosis of MS in 2016 DeFeKT used music as the main coping mechanism to process the huge changes in his life. Of that time he says, “Music saved me. Every day, every hour it was my escape.”
Jensen Interceptor had first-hand knowledge of the effects of MS after a close family member was diagnosed, and so the two found common bonds that they used to inspire this collective project. This opened a deep well of creativity in the pair that resulted in 10 tracks made in a single week.
Musically the record is exactly what you would expect from two of this generation’s most distinctive Electro artists; all the production hallmarks of both are combined, bolstered by a newfound maturity and sonic depth that belies a lifelong love of the genre and its many pioneers.

DeFeKT’s long-time devotion to analog drum machines and modular synths make him a leading authority on both, as exemplified in the exciting, dynamic nature of his live sets and productions.
Free Your Mind 与 DeFeKT 和 Jensen Interceptor 一起在 2022 年的 Tresor 上发布了两个版本中的第一个。主题 Free Your Mind 及其即将推出的对应版本 Free Your Body 是对两位艺术家多发性硬化症经历的深入个人探索，一种影响中枢神经系统的退行性疾病。
在 2016 年被诊断出 MS 后，DeFeKT 以音乐作为主要的应对机制来应对生活中的巨大变化。在那段时间里，他说：“音乐拯救了我。每一天，每一小时，这都是我的逃避。”
Jensen Interceptor 在一位亲密的家庭成员被诊断出后，对 MS 的影响有第一手的了解，因此两人找到了共同的纽带，他们用来激发这个集体项目。这在这对搭档中开启了深厚的创造力，导致在一周内制作了 10 首曲目。
从音乐上讲，这张唱片正是您对这一代最具特色的两位电子艺术家的期望；两者的所有制作标志都结合在一起，并得到新发现的成熟度和声音深度的支持，这掩盖了对该类型及其众多先驱的终生热爱。
