Title:	Sleepy Hollow
Label:	INNERVISIONS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	IV 008EP

"'Sleepy Hollow' comes from Berlin-based DJ and producer Stefan Goldmann, who already released tracks on Ovum, Perlon, Classic and Minus and no joke , this is to be the best track he did. Period. A lost post-minimal track with unforgettable hooks and an endless grooveline. Already been played by the likes of Richie Hawtin, Josh Wink, Gilles Peterson (he also plays it on his BBC Radio 1 Worldwide show), Ricardo Villalobos, Steve Bug, Luciano, Damien Lazarus -- it's another Innervisions Classic to come. Side B is no less a treat remixed by the Allmighty and Part label owning Ame, re-arranged and deeply lost in space, fresh out of their studio. Another milestone!"

Title:	Aurora/Beluga
Label:	MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MACROM 001EP

"His Sleepy Hollow on Innervisions is regarded as the anthem of 2006, gaining respect from all over the place. This year Stefan Goldmann is back with his own label Macro and the next level of post-minimal modernism: 'Aurora' and 'Beluga.' Both already are a central part in the sets of Richie Hawtin, Âme, Luciano, Damian Lazarus, Loco Dice, Steve Bug, Peter Kruder and the lucky few who already have it on CD-R. Stefan has released through high profile labels like Innervisions, Perlon, Ovum and Classic. He recently also became one of Europe's most in-demand remixers with highly acclaimed reworks for Blackjoy and Marc Romboy. Stefan outings are genre-bending and of the utmost quality."

Title:	Lunatic Fringe/The Bribe
Label:	MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MACROM 002EP

"We thought we had made a strong statement with Macro 1, but once we were giving away CDRs of our next outing to our DJ friends, it started growing on us this was going to be far bigger than we had expected. The response to the A-side was already super huge, but things really got out of control when clubbers were also exposed to what is the B side here. One DJ even called us from Ibiza, pointing his mobile at a crowd going totally mental over our record. Work at the office was kinda different after that. 'Lunatic Fringe' is a warped and twisted 10-minute house excursion featuring one of the most memorable vocal performances of the last decade, underlaid with a dramatic synth line that moves all over the place. Stefan Goldmann, who already caused havoc with his releases for Innervisions and Perlon, once again proves he's able to shift things to a totally different level -- delivering a supreme cut that thrills in main sets and spreads bliss in the morning hours. Hammered by all of our favorite house and techno DJs alike. Dark beauty! 'The Bribe' has nothing short but this year's most remarkable, mind-bending melody line, causing massive waves of euphoria from Ibiza to Berlin to New York. Don't be fooled by this one being on the B: this gem was quickly picked up by the likes of Richie Hawtin, Jerome Sydenham, Peter Kruder, Ivan Smagghe, Josh Wink and Steve Bug, raving at us what incredible reactions they get -- and making Macro 2 the most enthusiastically anticipated release this summer. The package is rounded off by the heavily experimental noise journey of 'Nothingface,' giving you a 3-way set of complete frenzy. Stefan Goldmann is on fire! Macro too."

Title:	Radiant Grace
Label:	MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MACROM 005EP

Stefan Goldmann presents Radiant Grace, and the title track proves that there actually is a next level after minimal and the new deep house movement. An irresistible chord figure is set against a growing string section, building up in a synth-fueled peak -- great for a late night house set or a Sunday morning. Rave support already from Ricardo Villalobos, Dixon and Âme. "Prefecture" is future-forward -- a skippy chord figure sets the groove, while sharp tones set the mood

Title:	The Transitory State
Label:	MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	MACROM 007CD

With his releases for Innervisions, Perlon and Macro, Stefan Goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting-edge of post-minimal techno and the renewal of house music. With The Transitory State, he finally unleashes his highly-anticipated debut CD. Two separate albums in one package -- a double whammy with benchmark club tracks on CD1 and electro-acoustic avant-garde tracks on CD2. CD1 features some of today's most significant underground anthems, including "Sleepy Hollow" and "Lunatic Fringe" -- both voted top 10 tracks of the year in polls by Groove, Resident Advisor and De:Bug, seriously crossing boundaries with heavy DJ support all across the board, from Richie Hawtin to Carl Craig to Laurent Garnier to Gilles Peterson. The entire collection ranges from the lush after-hour bliss of "Prefecture," to the dark modernism of "Blood," to peak-time frenzy with "The Bribe." All tracks have been carefully edited exclusively for this release by the artist and six appear on CD for the first time ever, thus adding brand new and previously-unreleased tracks and parts. CD2 contains the album Voices Of The Dead, which will also be released as a limited edition 5x7" vinyl box set. Starting a trilogy of concept albums, Stefan Goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electro-acoustic setting. From this album, "Turret" is already renowned as the intro sequence of Richie Hawtin's groundbreaking DE9 Transitions mix compilation. The artist explains: "there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere -- within the music of Coltrane and Stravinsky, death metal and 9th century Byzantine chants. If there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than it's this information lurking in the background. These are the Voices Of The Dead." This is an album that reaches far beyond the scope of today's dance music.

Title:	The Maze
Label:	MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MACROM 020EP

The Maze tears boredom apart. The Maze burns the Declaration Of Dependence. The Maze takes the original rough, sweaty house sound of liberation to distorted excess and slams it right in your face. The Maze is house not just with a capital H, but with a capital O, U, S and E, too. Recorded in one take in an all-analog set up, Stefan Goldmann hooked up drum machines, distortion pedals and a Theremin-controlled fuzz box for the ultimate screaming machine jam.

Title:	The Grand Hemiola
Label:	MACRO RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	MACROM 022LP

Stefan Goldmann presents the first real innovation in the vinyl format in years! 144 locked grooves build a toolkit that breaks out of the limitation of one 4/4 cycle and brings unique possibilities to create complex polyrhythms just with two decks and a mixer. The Grand Hemiola loop toolkit overcomes the time restriction of locked grooves: one record contains loops in 4/4, the other in 3/4 (employing the time differences of the rotation rates 33 and 45 rpm). In the mix, they sum up to an extended cycle of 3x 4/4 or 4x 3/4 and enable building complex "3 over 4" polyrhythms ("Hemiolas"). You can mix loop into loop for hours without ever getting trapped. Additionally, the A & C sides contain a 6 full-track mini-album of haunted acoustics, haptic percussion and deep, rhythmic expression.

Title:	The Empty Foxhole
Label:	MULE ELECTRONIC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MULE 013CD

This is Berlin-based producer Stefan Goldmann's debut mix CD. He has become one of today's most beloved producers in electronic music, thanks to a steady stream of quality tunes on Classic, Ovum, M_nus, Perlon and for his 2006 hit "Sleepy Hollow" on Innervisions. He is also behind the beloved boutique record label Macro Recordings -- a primary outlet for his own productions (including the mega-hyped "Lunatic Fringe" 2007 burner) -- which has featured the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Pepe Bradock. It's a no-brainer that Goldmann should turn to Japan's reigning tastemakers Mule Electronic to release his debut DJ mix collection. A solid collection of many of today's leading techno/tech-house tunes out there, from the likes of Plastikman aka Richie Hawtin, Mathew Jonson, Villalobos, Joel Mull, and Minilogue. The Empty Foxhole also combines treasured underground leaders such as Petre Inspirescu, Carsten Jost and Tuomi. The Empty Foxhole also features the forthcoming new Mule Electronic single from Goldmann himself, "Wolverine." Overall, a stellar collection and mix from one of today's most appreciated names in techno/house. Other artists include: Stephan-G & The Persuader, Nail, Panash', Jens Zimmermann, Dennis Ferrer, Malena Perez, Francesco Tristano, and Balil.

Title:	Haven't I Seen You Before
Label:	THE TAPEWORM (UK)
Format:	Cassette
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	TTW 012CS

Cassette-only in a limited edition of 250 copies. Berlin-based producer and head of the Macro Recordings label Stefan Goldmann couches his release for The Tapeworm thusly: "Since I'm a less than mediocre guitar player, but a quite versatile editing engineer with a decade of experience of handling samplers and midi-sequencers, I could finally realize an old project which I can trace back to a lesson with my bass teacher in my teen days. He had found out a bass player with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra had recorded hours of improvisations and paid an engineer to cut it together into an enjoyable 'jazz' album. The teacher, a profound jazz player himself, found this to be some sort of scam, while I was deeply impressed by the idea of merging hi-tech and improvisation. Finally, I had a reason to play and record some guitar for this fine project and cut it to death afterwards. Haven't I Seen You Before is a cycle of five pieces, with two versions each, so it can be listened to as a continuous performance, as well as looped recordings when employing the reverse function some cassette players have. The latter can be done at any point, since the parts on the A and B sides match. All material on this album has a guitar (amplified and microphoned simultaneously) as its only sound source. These initial recordings were cut into loops with durations ranging from a fraction of a second to more than a minute. They were arranged into compositions, adding reverb, stereo panorama and volume adjustments. Layering the loops creates polymetric structures, but I've tried to avoid the usual loop minimalism by the sheer number of looped segments which appear and disappear at distinctly different rates. Micro-loops vs. macro-loops is the main structural feature of the music on this cassette, playing around with a key feature of the format. Three recordings inspired this effort: John McLaughlin's 1970 My Goal's Beyond album, which offered a side of multitrack solo guitar improvisations (I believe this was the first jazz record to do this) as well as his unreleased guitar/voice album with his wife (John and Eve McLaughlin). McLaughlin was heavily under the influence of guru Sri Chinmoy and both albums have this very unique, dark drug/sect edge, adding an extremely intense quality to the modal guitar figures (well, probably also due to the Indian music he has been studying and merging with some impressionist composition techniques). I have tried to capture a bit of the mood and apply it to a loop-based, cut-up orgy. Another crucial record to me has been Derek Bailey's Ballads -- I've been astonished by the tidal movements in and out of the standards he's playing around with. So there is a harmonic base to my guitar mishandling, which is present throughout the entire album -- moving in and out of it. I'd also like to note I applied an altered tuning to the guitar to achieve different natural harmonics than the ones one gets with the standard tuning -- and not to give in to the temptation of cutting some blues licks." --Stefan Goldmann, Berlin, 2009

Title:	Art Of Sorrow/Radar Opaque
Label:	VICTORIAVILLE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	4 46074EP

"'Art Of Sorrow' has been one of the most raved about tunes over the last couple of months -- without ever being known by its name. Few of your favourite DJs had a copy of this, but this was more than enough to put crowds across the globe on their toes in order to find out what was just blowing their heads off every time it got played. Well, the secret gets unveiled right here: It's a Stefan Goldmann masterpiece. Coupled with the brandnew & dark Berghain style 'Radar Opaque,' it hits the street right in 2009. This record has been pressed in a very restricted quantity and will only be available for a limited time. You miss it, you never see it again."

Title:	Remasters Vol. 1
Label:	VICTORIAVILLE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	4 46079EP

These two tracks by Stefan Goldmann were produced in 2001 and became the key works of his early years. Long out-of-print, they have been sought-after classics ever since. Remastered by D+M's Rashad from the original DAT source and cut to a whole 12" side each, they are finally available in unprecedented quality. "Missing Days" predated the recent huge deep house revival by several years and "That Ghost" sounds like the original prototype to much of today's other big tendency: totally stripped-down, drum-centered house.
