the footloose lp by expanding universe is a young musicians attempt to drag himself out of one of life’s little dark holes. 24 year old dutch producer kevin huizing turned to music as a way of providing a much needed sense of positivity in the world. the result is an accomplished mixture of modern electronica, classical and world rhythms all composed by someone firmly outside of their comfort zone. the overwhelming theme that holds these contrasting influences together is emotion and a desire to make things better. natural and heart- felt. poignant and inspirational. it’s a masterclass in transforming a negative situation into one that’s magical and full of hope. melodies that will stay with you for ever and compositions that truly over ow with feeling and vibrancy. the eight tracks combine to form a wonderful journey of intergalactic escapism worthy of any movie soundtrack. taking science fiction as inspiration if each song where its own unique character they would undoubtedly fuse together transforming into one giant laser beam wielding robot destroying negativity and saving life’s across the galaxy. each track is great but together as part of the album they are unstoppable.

after receiving high praise for tracks under his lockertmatik-moniker on marcel dettmanns mdr label, kryptic universe is back on track with his second ep for shtum. and its a return in full glory with kryptic universe doing his future jazz thing like nobody else can do.
stephan schindler aka kryptic universe aka lockertmatik is a german electronic music producer with a preference for analogue gear. he has a distinct 90s techno and house sound signature without sounding dated or overnostalgic. after making waves on his own (vinyl only) lockertmatik imprint, he got full recognicition through his ep on shtum (uncanny valleys sublabel).
thank something for the interweb, otherwise we might have never been able to get in touch with this obscure talent. we are proud to introduce him in our roster with this fantastic ep, showcasing all of the above mentioned. midnight michigans detroit inspired machine funk, woodbridge st. tearjerking acid bassline & strings and, last but not least, the ridermans fierce analogue bassline and fearless drum programming brighten the catalogue of wolfskuil ltd in many, beautiful ways.
turn on the strobe lights and the fog machine. shtum returns with its second record, this time by dresdens very own kryptic universe. his ep comes with five cuts full of dark and gritty future jazz. his techno funk is playful as it is evocative. just listen to the bass line in *a light in the box* and the appropriately titled *critters funk*. not to mention the crazy piano in the title song and the rather hard-hitting *dark sky*. on top we got the mighty xdb on remix duties and his take on *signals*. again, the illustration on the b-side label is by aram haydeyan.
second lockertmatik release! another small diy release in a small run with advanced acid techno tracks with a sharp edge! challenging and fresh release.
easy and the center of the universe we already know from their recent flogsta danshall 7 inch release and some skweee compilers,remember legend of selda on skweee tooth?this new release on harmonia is as the previous ones infected with arabian soundbites. we recognize the details from our nights in the medina of marrakesh, we slip into our caftan, smoke the water pipe and drink mint tea,and are bodypoppin like an egyptian. no kiddin, this record is so imaginative and so true to its style that you cant go any other way. details of the percussion on halloumi are so good with the details in the orchestration (references to uom kalthoum records come to mind) the pitch and modulation wheels used intensive. with this release easy & center of the universe prooves again that skweee is one of the most evolving styles at the moment. this is exotic and exiting music.
