mixtapes these days come a fraction of a penny a dozen and amid the inundation, a tiny ratio of these mixes truly deserves your precious time. the elusive british dj nommo hunzuu has pieced together one such essential collage for your ears with drinnen traum (translation: indoors dream). over an hour of painstaking aural weaving, nommo hunzuu lures you into his own distinctive aural universe that favors odd juxtapositions and immersive atmospheres laced with complementary film dialogue and gnomic declarations from culture icons like william s. burroughs and timothy leary.

der eulbergsche sommerhit der güteklasse a

dominik’s newest invention is all about the manifoldness of nature and the process of transformation when stones become jewels

after releasing a full length ambient album by mario hammer and the lonely robot in november, we now reales a vinyl 12- with two remixes and one original from the album. the ep kicks of with a rare remix of german producer duo extrawelt who have created a somewhat unusual hybrid of 2 of the album tracks. their remix connects mario hammer’s ambient music with their beat formula in a brilliant way. extrawelt s remix of -mono no aware / l esprit de l escalier- shows signs of a voyage since it starts off very quiet with sounds from mario hammer s original and then weaves in the accelerating techno beats and later electro beats they are so famous for.

dominik eulberg returns with what he is best at: joyous and heartwarming life affirming electronic music

we have released various fine eps of minilogue on traum in the past: *certain things*, *the leopard*, *seconds*, *space* and the most recent one: *let life dance through you*. this time we have sebastian mullaerts spiritual work of *direct experience* pressed on vinyl! two very different versions of a techno soul. you can virtually feel him putting hands on knobs and twisting and bending the theme in his delicate and hypnotic way. who ever has seen minilogue play live this feeling is captured here by sebastian in an authentic breathtaking way.

transition ist ein vielseitiges, unterhaltsames und dramatisch aufgebautes debütalbum zweier junger produzenten, die mit einer atemberaubenden konzeption, hoher kompositorischer klangqualität, sounds fern jedwed er beliebigkeit und einer unglaublichen reife beeindrucken. ein abwechslungsreiches abenteuer aus techno, ambient und uk-infizierter klangästhetik. ihr reichhaltiges portfolio aus downtempo-grooves mit vibrierenden, improvisierten interludes und echten, komplexen clubperlen blickt weit über den tellerrand der obligatorischen club-tracks hinaus. die vinyl auskopplung kommt mit den vier stücken *mega*, *everytime you smile*. *light realms - silverbird wake me up* und *everybody dance now*.

der interpret: arne schaffhausen (extrawelt) & marcus c. maichel with three great techno tracks.

the hamburg based hannes rasmus released a record in 2013 called *analog ist besser* on gold pandas precious label notown which also featured luke abbott from border community. this put him on the map for minimal electronic melodic music with a lot of tastemakers and friends of melodic techno. his ep on traum *musik für fünf maschinen* refers to the equipment he used to write the music… the title of the tracks however refer to swimming pools.

following the success of dominik eulberg and gabriel anandas the space between us, in november 2013 on traum the duo has been in the studio to chuck out another piece of music which has again so little in common with post minimal dance music of now.

second release of the wild division records signed by duster traum (white rose) on his second release and remixed by miki craven and spear. a1 is the original track straight to hell signed by duster traum with a nice simple and minimal bass line and some hypnotic detroit sounds the reminds some of the markus suckut productions. in a2 we find miki craven with a dark remix. powerful production with huge space reverbs effects, nice stereo image. banging!

we were surprised when dominik knocked on our door with two tracks from gabriel ananda and himself. we had released *harzer roller*, *kirschplunder & jasmin tee bei gabriel* and *eucalypse now!* ages ago and these releases for us always had a special quality, a kind of energy exchange which took place between them, so we were excited to hear their newest recordings. once heard we instantly knew: these tracks are crowd-pleasers in a big way and come now for the first time on vinyl!

hier liefern popp & popp eine spätsommerhymne die richtig gute laune verbreitet. tolle vocals werden unterstützt von klasse sound. als remixer sind die tlk homies thomas lizzara, wolfgang lohr und arts & leni mit an bord. wieder einmal ein tolles release von jungen küntlern auf ton liebt klang.

after ryan davis album particles of bliss in june 2012 on traum it was clear to everyone that he was one oft he most versatile artists on the label. there was no electronic playground he did not enter. his phanstastic and illusionary music makes him such a special artist for traum.

extrawelt are back with a brand new 3-track ep for traum schallplatten where they have released classics like *8000*, *doch doch* or their legendary remix for minilogues leopard.

first reference of the label white rose (part of the dead rose records project) that aims at the hypnotic detroit sound of the mid 90s and also the dub flavours of the mid 90s berlin sound. the ep is signed by duster traum on his first release and miki craven.

the ambassador of the bat, yes it is true, and the ambassador of german melodic techno music dominik eulberg is releasing, 8 months after *ein stuckchen urstoff*, a new ep on traum. fans of his music can anticipate another masterpiece of melodic music, which is based on him fiddling with sounds, acoustics… keeping up of what we refer to as the eulbergsche language. this time it seems to be even more exhilarated and driven by passion. does this make sense when you speak about someone who is considered to have great compositional skill? yes we think the liveliness shows up in greater chunks, and the crispiness of the ideas rise to a point which is exceptional and... for those who seek techno realism… it can be found here as well.

max cooper is now on his 12th release with traum and if that was a magic number, he has teamed up with nicolas bougaïeff who is the creative director of liine in berlin.

a real dj weapon. big ups!

due to the wish of the fans we release here a second limited vinyl with microtrauma, collecting some of their finest tracks never released before on vinyl. the 4 track ep starts with >reflection<, a mighty tune. the track is built musically on a sophisticated layering of intricate sounds that are counteracted by slashing snares and stiletto sharp sequences which allows a fine blend of techno with melodic structures. it is for sure by its nature a true voyage, a trip to higher meadows ... or maybe even follows a mission.

its something you usually dont want to hear in a information sheet ... that >this release is the best he has done so far<, but we are quite sure >ein stueckchen urstoff< is a phenomenal piece of techno and 100% unique! defying genres such as melodic techno, or manipulated music, glitch or whatever.
>ein stueckchen urstoff< reflects on dominik eulbergs sound design he developed for his >diorama< album, fused with much more hedonistic force, phantasy and tons of wit to go with it.
played by: luciano, monika kruse, max cooper, microtrauma, dubfire, nick warren, dave seaman/ steve parry, steve lawler, hot chip/ felix, john digweed, rodriguez jr, mauro picotto, mihalis safras, stacey pullen, taster peter, hermanez, florian meindl, ronan portela, rowan blades, orde meikle/ slan, fra soler, mononoid, moritz ochsenbauer, d- nox, hollen, van bonn, noah pred, Ümit han, intu:itiv, jules de pearl, dirt crew/ felix, tom wax, toni d, lee holman, lee burridge, derek miller, emre dogan, king unique, goldfish, axel bartsch ...

we release here on vinyl the top tunes from microtrauma for all the fans who were bugging us and were disappointed that they could not get the tracks on record. so now here find a good selection of the strongest tunes by microtrauma based on the feedback of the fans and the feedback in the clubs. the tracks come from the first three releases now for the first time on vinyl. for what is missing we apologize but promise to have the next microtrauma release on vinyl!

it has been half a year since we released the last max cooper ep on traum, so his new finished ep comes in handy for all of his fans and people interested in the grey zone of techno vs. electronica. max coopers new release the >egomodal ep< comes as a 4 tracks ep and adds up to a great piece of music. once again it focuses on dynamics and tangents, along with the concept of complexity and simplicity. the >egomodal ep< stays true to max coopers approach to link a mathematical structure with a simple one. we are happy to say he has succeeded to fuse complexity with variations by still finding time to focus on details and keeping up that nice randomness which makes his music so appealing also for clubbers and djs.
this release is extremely diverse in styles and offers in its vinyl version everything from the dark detroit electro styled techno piece >epitaphy< that evokes old detroit days… to the melodically trembling >autumn haze< that is a huge track because its flow is superbly programmed ... to rippertons mighty house hymn of a remix, ending in the basseline monster >raw< which looses its teeth towards the end.

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.

>let life dance thru you< reveals itself as a safari of live played percussion, instruments and sounds. the duo create here a biotope of sounds that interact with each other... like a live band would do… at times almost arabesque sounding this track is full of mysterious soundscapes... jazzy played instruments... flutes running havoc... it could as well be: a spiritual voodoo session from the 70ies!
the whole sound selection if it would be described in colors, would be dark brown, black... with bits of gold. no shiny lights or illuminated plains. almost 11.00 minutes long this track is a real journey and certainly for the people who know rather than feeding djs.
played by: john tejada, dave seaman/ steve parry, max cooper, orde meikle/ slam, kaiserdisco, hermanez, florian meindl, ewan pearson, coyu, kabale und liebe, taster peter, mauro picotto, dubfire, john digweed, kiki, mihalis safras, philip sherburne, derek miller, deepchild, fabrice lig. piemont, pheek, frank sonic, scott byrne, dixon, dave dk, blind minded, david ribeiro, arjun vagale, alland byallo, karim zidan, jens lissat, freska, modrna/ ghostly, christian martin

the second part of the >diorama< remixes offers again some of the finest producers around.
starting with kollektiv turmstrasse! what kicks off as a chez damier groove makes the transition into a loose dub monster. collecting traces of the original sound and dispersing them with magic movements we see why kollektiv turmstrasse are a top act. shifting the attention from the front to the far back from the obvious to the abstract... turmstrasse create that parallel groove on top of the groove which seems to tighten up with every minute. fine particles of sounds are sprayed onto the relentless groove and make it a real crowd pleaser.

while dominik eulberg utilized the broader canvas of the album format to develop complex sophisticated compositions, rich of melodies and of intricate details, it was time to boil it down to a bit of a club formula. stephan bodzin, a favourite producer of eulberg, has chosen the clubbiest track of the album >teddy tausendtod< and transformed it into a after hour monster. installing a feeling of electricity with sounds of the original that hover on a layer of huge bass and powerful arrhythmic kicks... it has resulted into a hypnotic anthem.

played by: secret cinema, laurent garnier, martin eyerer, hot chip, ryan davis, orde meikle/ slam, gui boratto, paco osuna, mauro picotto, steve parry, joseph capriati, phil kieran, microtrauma, ripperton, mihalis safras, florian meindl, maxime dangles, davide squillace, lanny may, taster peter, sql, scott byrne, king unique, zidan, angel alanis, nick bugayev ...
max coopers returns to traum with his brand new >empirisch< ep. he opens his ep with >echoes reality< and we realise right away this might be another cornerstone of max coopers musical carrier. inspiring and beautifully crafted as it moves from wonderful lush sounds to a sequences of screeching tones and back to heavenly sounds, >echoes reality< shows all signs of an etamorphosis deluxe realised on the highest possible level of production. from roaring basslines to cadillac squeaking tires to ambrosial vocals ... this is max cooper at his best and a true tour de force.
