since their debut late last year, land of light has cemented their rightful place as the makers of dreams. although their first release undoubtedly set a new bar among those who understand relentless craft, their quest for enlightenment diligently continues. during this pre-sophomore-album sabbatical, a chosen few have stepped up to the challenge that is remixing land of light. peaking lights dubs us into ether, tiago slides us into salsa, and the backwoods hug us tightly as we shed uncontrollable tears of joy... sounds pretty good, yeah

antigone is an artists coming from the depth paris producing and digging for several years now. the three tracks are a travel in to different style of techno with the intention to reach a certain emotion that is close from nostalgia and really deep feeling. the challenge of this work was to find a good balance between sound and colour, focusing on an old sci-­&#8208,,,fi landscape. with a really mature perception this young artist is developing his own sound, a detroit atmospheres, openly characterize this ep, but it remains antigone work at the end with all his sense of details and perception.

borrowed language returns with their second release this year, and the second collaborative effort to date from chicago-based producer/dj jeff pietro & label owner israel vines. following jeff pietros future classic >still< (charted by surgeon, peter van hoesen, silent servant, and many others) and justin iveys exemplary >apparition bay< (which won favor by the likes of rob hall and dj pete) was never going to be an easy task, but vines & pietro prove that they are more than up to the challenge – this is perhaps an even stronger statement of intent than their earlier joint effort, >distance no object< (blx-2).
limited pressing of 350 copies, first 200 on white vinyl).

>parallel series 3<, comes from two well respected reference points in the international scene: bas mooy and chris finke. their sound identities compare and compliment, contrast and challenge each other, creating a wordless dialogue.

the detroit threads team is at the center of a community of vinyl enthusiasts that take pride in their individual approach to sound. this community struggles to keep their vision alive though the warmth of the medium that holds a special place in the heart, vinyl. as the electronic sound evolves new faces and styles emerge to challenge the establishment. detroit threads hears those voices and works to give them a platform. hou531 and .kite were chosen to represent detrot threads, because they are the yin and yang of the detroit dubstep movement. hou531 has a rambunchous method of creating grinding dubstep that is a release from a lifetime of detroit pressure. where as, .kite uses ethereal synth ambience sprinkled lightly with drum and bass to create an environment that is both sad and beautiful. these artists are under the radar, but by no means are they irrelevant.

mute welcomes a brand new era with the birth of their latest electronic associate label, liberation technologies. citing reference from mutes original and continuing statement of intent, the label exists to give space to and encourage artists to experiment and challenge themselves, anonymously if they choose. the first release on liberation technologies is the >spring ep< by king felix, a producer from ann arbor, michigan who has also released music as laurel halo. the spring ep draws from a melee of influences, sharply carving out its own sonic palette. driving and dramatic, its an uplifting theme-and-variation exercise on oscillation and forward motion.

it is one of our traditions to release remixes of our favourite artists and so we are happy to feature top remix artists for this minilogue remix release on traum.
the >drop the mask of self protection< remix of dominik eulberg is a bit of an adventure! unlike his >diorama< album and maybe because of its elaborate musical challenge, he has taken a time-out to create a serious club format in the true eulberg style witnessed on trapez in the past. so what does that really mean for this track? well this remix kicks off a bit of an relaxed percussive and deep house groove and undergoes in its course quite an explosive transformation! with a lot of skill and finesse mr eulberg pulls the strings with accuracy and makes the transfer of what unfolds to be a heavy big pounding techno rocker! thumbs up this is superb and eulberg at his best.

>rdjcs5<, a new 4-track 12-inch ep by solvent, is the result. this is suction022. each and every sound on this record came from rdj’s old cs5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by solvent over the course of several months. the limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, rdjcs5 speaks more of solvents musical kinship to thee analord. opening track >curtains< bears similarity to early rephlex signing bochum welt, while >radiator<, >mould<, and >tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic afx sound. at the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably solvent. the 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side b. entitled >sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

for his second album as son lux, new yorks ryan lott did a very un-son lux thing. he recorded we are rising in a month -- the shortest month of the year, actually -- while npr tracked his every move. this, as opposed to the making of his lauded 2008 debut, at war with walls and mazes, which he slowly built in complete privacy over nearly three years. of course, he didn’t plan it this way. he simply awoke one late january morning to find a message from all songs considered titled, >you busy?<. the annual rpm challenge, an international open call to create an album in 28 days, had been issued and lott had been tapped. how could he say no?
pressing on transparent blue vinyl, includes code for free mp3 download of the full album.

tom giles previous twelve on modern soul saw him flex his muscles as a producer of sample-based wonky disco. this latest release, however, shows him stepping up to the challenge of crafting heavy boogie gems from scratch – with not a sample to be seen. the 12 inch kicks off with colour theory, a memorable mid-tempo number where crisp snares cracking between a lithe synth-line and a funk-bass backbone, featuring alex farrell of the london afrobeat collective on guitar. its a boogie daisy-cutter, packed, primed and ready for dropping on discerning dancefloors.

a disc sounds contradictory, difficult challenge, but well won by keira. more and more confirmed in future scenarios of electronic music. nebel leben arrives with soft, sensual sounds, representing the best sound minmal berlin. even the remix of andrea andrea mattioli & rocco and taster peter seem to shine its light, finding a perfect environment within this album. there is another fascinating piece style fragments produced in collaboration with anton essential.

the much anticipated follow up to last years balearic opus >panorama suite< by max essa. >heartache (original 86 club mix)< - this funky early nineties inspired house groove seems to be channeling all the best bits of fpi project yet manages to still sound brand new and wholeheartedly relevant. this track is heading for the dancefloor - unashamedly uplifting and funky - a real breath of fresh air. sample free and featuring max on vocals. i challenge you to not move to this. >feel it in your body< is a more chuggy, dubby affair featuring a vocal chant not dissimilar to e-man grooving. funky guitars groove the track along until the synths lift it up to the next level. trancey balearic synth slo-mo goodness.

we are sure max cooper does not refer here to one of traum boss triple rs favourite writer thomas pynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as rainbow-shaped. nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of max music, does it question or break down the boundaries and categories of western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at traum always aimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as maxs tracks are.

weave music finally decided to re-release tony rohrs techno classic track >slowburn< weave-5, that was originally released in 2004 (vinyl only).
all artists in charge of this challenge have already gained their individual reputation & respect concerning their productions & creativity. weave were quite lucky by signing jerome sydenham, peter horrevorts, and dustin zahn for new mixes and all of em did an excellent job!

never losing the musics immediate physicalness out of sight, the driving, bass-heavy energy of alex picones tracks set club floors on fire. still in his twenties, hes been a dj for fifteen years. having never aimed at quick fame, his career is exemplary in its endurance and commitment: he hosted parties in his hometown of padua and became resident at seminal italian clubs. after a stopover on ibiza he now resides in berlin. alex picones first record under his real name is also his first release on cadenza and his most successful so far. the three tracks of fahrenheit tie in with the overboiling force of floppy and furby. while the rattling snaredrum adds a humorous touch, the uplifting groove of inside out pushes on the limits of the energy levels of contemporary house music. yet the heart of the track is the relentless bassline, which liquefy ones body and melds the crowd and the whole club in one torrential stream of tension. with lost in burning man, alex picone fuses an oldschool electro groove in his house beats. this unexpected encounter might remind one of kevin saundersons hiphouse sound. but instead of indulging in nostalgia, the breakbeats add a provoking, startling touch to the track. with the rotary bassline and the playful jaws harp of mandarin, the ep ends on a comical note. alex picones second cadenza is a challenge to a certain house sound that became too accommodating and glossy. his musics driving force pushes the crowd beyond the threshold of the established into a space of limitless indulgence

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

its not every day that we receive demos from new artists that totally rock our world, but when its happens its a joy and a reminder of why we are still doing this. and so tears of joy rolled onto the speakers when we played policys demos. when contacted policy he told us he is from nyc, is a part time movie director and only started making music recently. out of the bunch of tracks we received >specialty party< and >light over fort lee< form his debut ep. both tracks challenge the beat spectrum once again and definitely speak his cinematic mind. expect more music from policy on rush hour later this year. he surely is our contender for best newcomer of 2011.

the rhythm odyssey is dean meredith of chicken lips and bizarre inc fame. >move groove< draws on the wealth of experience dean has in creating spine tingling house music. this club banger has all the hallmarks of classic (ware)house - a relentless piano riff teases an overweight electronic bass, topped off with dean?s trademark, crisp chi-town drums. eric duncan aka dr dunks of rub & tug fame and hot new talent vermin step up to the remix challenge. eric d goes for the disco break approach. he inserts riffs at will and brings an nyc block party feel to the cut. vermin warms up his trusted 808 to spice up the proceedings with a heavy interpretation of this track

created back in 1994 by secret cinema, no one could have predicted how timeless this track would turn out to be! if you are in to electronic music and live on this planet, theres a 75 percent chance youll recognise the weird reversed, reverbed piano riff! now, for the first time, the original is available digitally with remixes by slam, egbert and secret cinema himself that made their way to vinyl as well. the massive techno tune from 94 is ready for a little update! it can be a challenge to remix a track with so much history, but all three managed to complement the original while giving a unique spin to the track. the secret cinema 2011 remix is a peak time main room power tool that will turn a big crowd into a riot any day. slam take a deeper, more subtle approach that can hypnotize and rock a main room crowd without blowing their wigs off. finally egbert takes the track to a warmer funkier level, equipped with a funk-filled bass line and some warm pads over the top. a truly timeless package!!

christmas is a time for people to come together. in that tradition, desolat celebrates a year packed full of music, with the second yearly christmas label sampler: a showcase of inspiring heavyweights alongside fresh talent from two continents, wrapped up in a big shiny bow. while last years christmas vinyl sampler was red, this years sampler will be blue: simply a beautiful sounding item in our favourite music format. all artists featured on the sampler have released music on desolat previously: some as special guests, some as cherished label staples. legendary chicago producer dj sneak jumps into the fray with a contemporary salsa-kissed house jam at a strapping pace, taste-making french don franck roger similarly digs deeps with the agile burner >egotrippin<. desolats taste for dancefloor atmospherics is further exemplified by loco dices stripped back and frisky track >dont make signal<, and martin buttrichs playful >roads<. livio & roby, premiesku, yaya and guti & audiofly also contribute their own takes on the desolat sound: with crunchy, sample-flecked grooves aplenty. its been a watershed year for desolat, with a super-wide variety of singles, remixes and long players by artists such as pulshar, ricardo villalobos, thomas melchior, marco passarani and der räuber & der prinz: musical explorations of submarine-worthy proportions. we are excited to see what 2011 will bring… stay tuned

first release by new label apersonal music. project created by andres vegas and maurice aymard, who challenge the current music business crisis by joining the list of adventurers who releases on vinyl during times of retreat. the label is intended to publish music that points back toward the classic sounds of electronic music, the eternal sound. for the ever loved and well remembered 001 they sign producer trujillo. a pioneer of the electronic music scene on his country venezuela, also native land of the label heads. the single runs at 110bpm with a retrospective feeling, built by melodic synths, low bass and provocative voices. “baby you’re still the same” a slow burner that takes you on a journey of inspiration

windy city producers steven hitchell and josh werner continuing to challenge and confound expectations as antenna international drops >fractalrip< a speaker-melting 303 drenched bomb from chicagos southside, harkening back to the earliest days of outlaw warehouse and loft parties this track is already doing damage in the crates of justin long, traxx and adam marshall. while on the b-side we partner with fellow chicago independent imprint nation to bring the >preludes and nocturnes< mixx of >introspective< from traxx faith cd to light. this version has been put through the sonic cacophony that is hitchells echospace studio, packed with myriad gadgetry of assorted compressors, delays and the infamous echo chamber to create an ominous, building, dark entity not for the faint of heart.

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

producer and dj, richy pitch moved from uk to ghana, west africa and took on the challenge to record an lp which drew on his many musical experiences during his stay. his goal was to record with local stars and talent and fuse the classic sound of ghanaian music with his own production skills that he had already developed in london. two years later and back to london, richy knocked on bbe records door to deliver ye fre mi richy pitch. (they call me richy pitch in twi) his creation gives the listener an excellent taste of the many different styles of ghanaian and west african music from highlife, hiplife to afrobeat to traditional percussion music, all combined with a fresh production twist. it features the cream of ghanaian music talent including mobo and mtv africa winner samini, reggie rockstone, known as the godfather of hiplife and talented mcs such as wanlov the kubolor, m3nsa and m.anifest, plus many other inspiring ghanaian artists.

hej records drops another e.p. by jason dunlap (chicago) & reese turns (australia), a forward thinking techno team, creating innovative tracks together despite the challenge of being separated by thousands of miles. this is a pair to watch out for, carving out a sound that is distinctly their own, yet unlike anything else in a highly saturated market.

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of live in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a classic setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end.

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

with the help of bodie lee and his nuboogie series project we managed to lay our hands on the master tapes of this early 80s disco hit by beggar & co. (and with hit we mean hit... like top 10 positions uk and us etc). we already got some raving reactions from people who use to love this big brit funk tune back in the days... and this might even sound better! nice remix challenge for greg wilson and elitechnique... both delivered the works! we could write a long story about the remixes and the remixers... but just choose your favorite. 2 sublime nu disco funk work outs!

vinyl only !!! on the a side, you will discover a massive drum tool with discrete vocal snippets from xxxx xxxxxxxx which is specially made to create chaos in the club. on the flip side, xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx is beautifully revisited for a mature dancefloor moment and last but not least a xxxxxxx version which comes to challenge xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx from a few years back. vinyl only! 500 copies! ps. yes we have started the xxx weeks.

afu limited welcomes alex long to it s artist catalogue and he starts with two slammin and cool technotracks with ultra trippy vocals! there is not much need to say anything about these tracks, just listen and enjoy the trip through the space age with a fast beating heart! since he was young, he has always been impressed by the sounds of the synths, electro pop and later on acid house. in the beginning of the 90ies, when the slovenian electronic scene was still in the making, he was a regular guest in the legendary k4 and palma in slovenia. he was taken further into the world in 1998 when he took his first steps behind the turntables and he has been producing music since 2004. since then, he has had quite a few releases and remixes for different record labels. he has dj gigs with huge names of the electronic scene and in large festivals in slovenia and became the official slovenian hero of the future in 2007 at the disconautica festival.he spends much of his time in his studio, where his thoughts are converted into notes and melodies, and as he often states, he finally found a style that suits him and always finds a challenge in. what is that style? he doesn t like to be defined by a specific music style, as he prefers and is influenced by many different genres of electronic music. alex long is definitely a name we will hear of in the future!

a rare release from one of minimal house and techno s most respected icons, thomas brinkmann. isch is a much sought after track taken from a record that has been out of print since many years. not many people know that this track was originally made for the mutek festival in 2002. out of respect we let mr. brinkmann choose his prefered remixer and we were more than happy when soulphiction aka jackmate (perlon, sonar kollektiv, philpot) took on the challenge. his remisch is nothing short of a future classic, maybe even his best rework to date. an essential release for your collection!!

tuccillo joins delusions of grandeur for their forth release turning in two tracks of funk injected house that will work wonders on the dancefloor. hot from his releases with willie graff on freerange, circus company, drumpoet and liebe*detail, the ibizan producer delivers once again with a release that will put him firmly on the hype list for 2009. panorama is one of those tracks that will be played by djs right across the board and creates a killer vibe whether its at its original tempo of 118 or pitched right up for peak time action. the rolling beats, looped up guitar hit and siren synths create a mighty track that treads a familiar path but does so in such style that we challenge you not to get bitten by the bug. taken things in an altogether deeper, darker and more twisted direction with have switzerlands finest kalabrese taking care of the remix. his very capable hands and ears, not to mention vocal skills, have resulted in a warped, acidified excursion full of bottom end pressure and brilliant percussion. a real trip this one. finally, on the flip, we have tuccillos this time, taking things back into house territory with a funk filled workout that utilizes a pitched down vocal and horn stabs to great effect. that doesnt sound great on paper we know, but give it a listen cos it works a treat.

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers

lets remixer speak! >it was great to be asked to do this. originally, i wanted to do something really quirky and funky with the strange vocal in human bond, one of my favorite old tracks. i tried a few times but i couldnt really get a vibe going in the funk realm. so i listened to the original over and over again and then the lightbulb turned on. i realized that the original was a monster rave track, like what you would hear in a warehouse in detroit in the 90s. so i threw out my original idea and went crazy with a huge techno builder, something to hype a big rave just like the original. maybe this doesnt sound exactly like what i usually do but that was the fun of making it< claude vonstroke. aa: >bounce your body to the box was one of the first kms records that i owned and it was all about the mike >hitman< wilson mix and force field on the b side. the production on the original was huge. the 909 groove just pounded everything... when that came out there was nothing that came close to it. so it was an honor and a challenge to mix it myself. first came the futurist bounce mix... not released on vinyl, anmerkung, ... which is more of a cover version than a remix. i had a lot of fun with this one but it definitely has a signature that steps away from the original. so i had to take a run at it one more time to pay a proper homage to the original with the flashback mix< mike shannon...

not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. cosmic slope is a spacey number, with bubbly basslines and a full retro synth workout to challenge the likes of moroder and co. it has a great cosmic vibe to it, with some lovely sounding synth solos and a bubbling bassline. the title track, on the flip, fun thing is a sick acid work out with a mean and aggressive 303 bassline, housey stabs, cool strings, superb sy

the truesoul imprint represents the somewhat soulful side of its owner - adam beyer. here, cari lekebusch takes up the challenge and produces two wonderful tracks. on the a side we are treated to a wonderful deep 808 driven groove with eerie pads, neat reverses and cool cowbells that creates a wonderful intensity. on the flip side again the deep groove is apparent with neat vocoded vocal samples and fat bass before there is a cool break and the main synth sound appears in the track to give it a seriously intense lift
