And so My Parade lays out Bpitch's pre-history as much as Allien's: the beats 'n' breaks tradition of early 90s UK techno. To a large extent, Allien is Bpitch Control, and the label maintains such a distinct identity, despite its growing roster of new artists, precisely because her own trajectory dominates. 'Personal' is used somewhat broadly here. For now, the Bpitch Control labelhead seems to have taken a break from the boards, making 2004 both a year for administration- the label has issued more LPs and 12-inches this year than any before- and, in the cases of her new Remix Collection and DJ mix My Parade, a year for archival and personal introspection as well. Creatively speaking, last year's Berlinette must have taken a lot out of Ellen Allien.
