Artist:	CAM, PHILLIPPE
Title:	Balance
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 003CD

"Philipe Cam is a star in his own field. He is among the few people that have succeeded to write hypnotic dance music without a conventional beat still conveying a thrilling, dramatic feel. Cam has developed an accurate, intense and complex formula of modulation-techno. Starting with music similar to Pan Sonic in 1996, his music turned towards a more elegant form of minimal music. He worked as a DJ in Brussels beginning of the 90s. Then chose to become a sailor and cruised the oceans. Mid of the 90ies he started to study electronic music in Brussels and began to write music for theatre, ballet and French movies. Abstract soundtracks lead to an organic form of music, which was equally influenced by modern techno as Wolfgang Voigt's Studio 1/Gas or Basic Channel/Maurizio. His demo received by the Cologne based label Traum in 1999 led to a series of three fantastic 12"s. Since then journalists have made links also to Manuel Göttsching's classical masterpiece E2-E4 referring to his low evolving modular wave scapes and strong repetitiveness. Cam's latest compilation CD Balance on Traum is a fine selection of tracks previously released as Traum 12" s. This CD contains tracks in full length, plus a video of 'Mixte' by Cologne artist Yvette Klein, who thickly textured the music with a minimal aesthetic. Cam's music corresponds heavily to the Cologne scene, where his music is appreciated and played throughout the clubs by the likes of Michael Mayer, Tobias Thomas and various other DJs as well as experimental djs from the A-musik corner."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 005CD

"Chile born Miss Dinky stems from a circle of talented musicians in Santiago De Chile, including Riccardo Villalobos (Playhouse/Perlon) and Dandy Jack aka Martin Schopf. Miss Dinky aka Alejandra Iglesias moved to N.Y.C. in 1996 to stay contemporary but was very much inspired by a trip to Berlin 1995 where she met DJ Hell, Robert Görl and Stacy Pullen she soon became resident in one of New Yorks most crowded gay clubs, the 'Flamingo East'. The breakthrough came after she founded a DJ collective in N.Y.C. with three other female DJs, the 'Angels On Vinyl'. She ended up playing everywhere: The Limelight, Tunnel, The Cooler, Soundfactory, 21's, Drinkland and during the Transmat tour with Derrick May and Aril Brinkha. Her work as a DJ also included gigs with Khan, John Selway, DJ Silver as well as Adam X. Her first CD includes her ambient tracks tracks as well as her dance tracks with many previously unreleased tracks. Many of the exotic sound have collected through her DJ travels in Latin America. Her music can be described as melodic and emotional, deep and rhythmic. Influences have been Christian Vogel, Basic Channel, Carl Craig, Derrick May etc. and she certainly loves the early period of clonks and bleeps as one can feel throughout her music."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 006CD

"The Japanese artist Wakisaka Akifuma belongs to the well known artists of the Japanese techno scene. He has released on Ken Ishii's label Dub Restaurant among others such as Denki Groove. Nevertheless his style varies very much and we see him now with his first release on the Cologne label Traum with beautiful analog music that is very much different from his other releases on his own label Loveburger.

Artist:	IQUINN
Title:	Seed
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 008CD

"Seed is an album that merges influences of Clicks'n'Cuts, Minimal House and Ambient into something that is experimental and beautiful at the same time, a rather unusual combination (but that's one of the things that makes life worth living: unusual music, right?). The music is floating, occupying rooms little by little, not by using broad faces of synthie sounds but by fragile yet warm electronic noises. The CD contains an animated visualization of the track 'Brief Encounter' by Yvette Klein."

Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 009CD

"Traum releases with the Re'Processed CD and LP one of the most elaborate remix projects around.

Other artists have chosen other tracks for a remix, Such as 'Estero', 'Modif', 'Integ' all released on Traum.

Re'Processed relies to a high degree on computer manipulated tracks made for the dancefloor but features also analog modulation and ambient electronic music."

Artist:	FAIRMONT
Title:	Paper Stars
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 010CD

"Fairmont is the alias of Jacob Fairley and stands for his melodic techno soul side as opposed to his radical stripped down minimal techno releases on Dumb Unit, Sender, and Killer. Under Fairmont he has released two 12"s on Traum. Paper Stars features tracks that deliberately have been recorded over the last 12 months for a project that was to introduce Jacobs vocals, guitars sounds, drum machines and synths. With Paper Stars he departs even more from his status as a minimal techno producer, giving credit to his rock roots, which a city such as Toronto is known for. Fairley hums melodies, rocks basslines that sound like 1000 trapped bees ('Last Words') and then dives into a minimal groover ('True North', 'Inside') to end in a folk nurtured "Ignore Me'. Paper Stars tells a story, is spiced with pictures and emotions that allow the listener to rehash a bit of his life. In contrast to his new project, The Uncut, we witness a stronger pop influence drawing for example on Wolfgang Voigt Gas project ('Kinmount') stating a light quality with bits of heaviness. Ten tracks that fly by as if you were sitting on the back seats of a car letting towns and buildings pass by."

Title:	Shapes Of Summer
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 012CD

"Starting 7 years ago with the compilation centered around the Argentinian electronic scene in Buenos Aires, and a follow up by Gustavo CD by Santiago de Chiles mastermind Adres Bucci and & New York artist Kate Simko. Andres Bucci has been a respected member of the electronic underground in Santiago for years. Playing together with Atom Heart, the cooperation with Kate Simko has resulted in a concept album of 11 tracks that feature electronica as well as piano pieces. After Gustavo Lamas and Iquinn's album on Traum, Shapes Of Summer is the third album that is not a mere compilation of the work. The discrepancy in style between piano and electronica and the seemingly loose assembly, is rather antagonistic. The magic lies in the silent form of communication capturing atmospheres in a gentle way. Traum continues to release their electronic side on CD, while the releases on vinyl are devoted even more to the clubs and alternative world."

Title:	Spectra
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 013CD

"Usually associated with light, 'Spectra' can also refer to a collection of sound frequencies, so both bases are covered here, with sound by Process and light with Yvette Klein's video. Spectra is the second album by the English artist Steve Barnes on the Cologne based label Traum. Rhythmically the tracks are mid-tempo techno in form, still minimal in nature, with added spacious atmospheres and melodic moments. A nod in the direction of early '90s techno and electronica with an appreciation for Chicago and Detroit innovators like Carl Craig, Larry Heard and Richie Hawtin. As well as British and European influences like Maurizio, Monolake and To Rococo Rot are present with the contemporary Process approach. The sound of Spectra has changed from his previous albums Shape Space on Fat Cat and Pattern Recognition on Traum, sound-wise to his 'Surface/Fiction' 12", which marks a cornerstone in his career. Creating a stir among DJs such as Richie Hawtin, Riccardo Villalobos, Sven Väth and many others, it announced the beginning of a new aesthetic. But certainly the essential idea of his music continues onwards, that sound can create spacious, self-contained environments, something you can immerse yourself in. Spectra features electronic tracks as well as dance tracks, including a Quicktime animation video of 'Room.'"

"Interkontinental has proved itself as a forum for Riley Reinhold to break and foster new talent along side his growing and respected roster. Process of course has been there from the start, Jorge Gebauhr, Oliver Hacke and Broker/Dealer have all been willing accomplices. Pobnebo is best remembered for a quite remarkable twelve for Schnitstelle a couple of years back, more for Below, as well as strong sales technique at the Freebase store in Frankfurt. New recruits in the guise of homelanders Adam Kroll and Boris Heinzmann, Harry Hohnen and Victor Berman from Australia, Kosuke Anamizu from Japan; while Michael Fentum and Donal Tierney from England and Ireland respectively, represent the growing audience for quality minimal electronic house of this kind all over the islands west of Europe. Add a bonus Quicktime video and extra track from Process, and you have another quality package from the ever reliable Traum."

Title:	Flora & Fauna
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 016CD

2004 release, repressed. "The newcomer Dominik Eulberg (who is not really a newcomer since he has released records since 1995) has had his big hit on Traum with 'Die Rotbuchunken vom Tegernsee' which has lead to international recognition in 2004. Very similar in style and dynamic he has created soon after his EP: Flora und Fauna that transports the same spirit alongside 7 new tracks on the double LP and 10 on the CD. Did he introduce the fusion of nature sounds with digital programming and analog techno soul on his EP, the album explicitly highlights exactly this quality to the extreme, featuring explanations in word on the cover. The unique quality is once again, the stream of music, where there is no interruption, but the breaks of intense silence and melodic cascades. You can be sure the return of techno finest qualities then is not far away, when he crashes back into the beat, quite happily, like a child. 'Die Trottellummen von Helgoland' is already considered a direct follow up to the 'Klangteppichverleger Wolle' of his 'Rotbauchunken' 12" and is played amongst other tracks by DJs such as Sven Väth, Riccardo Villalobos, André Galuzzi and others. Others are the brilliant 'Der Zug der Kraniche' which reminds of early British ambient music of the 90ies as well as several others. He defines club music with a teaser appeal introducing new sounds by the minute. So we might have a new genre here: teaser techno! The spectrum of the album is by any means a real album not a mere collection of tracks. The CD version contains 3 extra tracks that even more highlight his approach to create a full album."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 017CD

"Traum's annual bestselling Interkontinental series returns with new tracks by Domink Eulberg, Oliver Hacke, Adam Kroll, Steve Barnes and Off Pop and the new Traum contributers Peter Schumann, Acut, Zentex and Terrae. It also features the epic 'Dinamo' by Nathan Fake, for the first time in full length and on CD. Zentex is Traum's only artist from Portugal having his debut release with Napa on Traum, the same applies to the German artist Achim Gauder aka Akut, who lives in the countryside displaying intricate harmonies. Esa aerospace engineer Pasquale Basso aka Terrae is already known through his work on the label DSP Italy. Peter Schumann has also successfully released music on Frakfurt's label Catennacio. This CD is a loose compilation but at the same time has a strong dynamic flow, which results in the final and smooth rhythm track 'Ric' by Peter Schumann. Traum core artist Adam Kroll has contributed a wonderful melodic track, as well as Oliver Hacke, who composed the wonderful 'Polar' track some time ago. Returning to Traum with an epic track, Steve Barnes and Riley Reinhold have written a clicky and rhythmic track that evolves in a silly micro melody. Off pop celebrates his comeback with his central 'Grammphon' sample. Dominik Eulberg follows his path of the synthesis of nature and synthetic sounds in his unique style. The CD holds an animated video by Yvette Klein. The storyline is based on the fairy tale 'Quon And The Wild Flowers Of China' by Glynis Klein and the soundtrack was composed by Steve Barnes."

Title:	Elektronische Musik - Interkontinental 5
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 018CD

The change in the style of the music coming out on Traum in the year 2005 is reflected in this brand new Interkontinental 5 CD and 3LP. In the tradition of the annual Interkontinental series, number 5 is thoughtfully compiled by A & R head Riley Reinhold aka Triple R, and for the first time mixed in a strong and tasteful flow instead of being compiled track by track. The CD opens with a soft intro by Steve Barnes and Yvette Klein. This tune was also used for the animation short "All Things That Make Me Happy" which appears on the CD. The animation is reflected on the cover designed by Yvette Klein & Jacqueline Klein. In comparison to the previous Interkontinental releases, number 5 features the more dance-crazy side of the label, with a lot of new artists alongside the core artists: Adam Kroll who was very successful already this year with his Godzilla 12"; Jesse Somfay on the heels of new progressive techno in Canada; Process aka Steve Barnes using new technology for hi-tech ambience in techno; Zentex blends techno functionalism with unearthly strings. Last but not least Triple R produced a track together with Emanuel Geller slightly more in the old-school acid direction with Kraut-rock strings to boot. Hailing from Austria, Belgium and Germany, the new artists on this release stand for the uprising generation making sophisticated crossovers into different genres and sound design concepts. All tracks on Interkontinental 5 are new and unreleased and incorporate a sense of melody and harmony building on Traum's tradition for the last 8 years, plus a determined attitude to push boundaries and support today's sound design and musical arrangements.

Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 018EP

"Process aka Steve Barnes is a respected member of the English electronic-scene for now over three years . Alongside Peter Ford, SND and Mathew Herbert he has developed a specific English style of minimal dance music. His modern and groove oriented music deals with abstract sound design, sometimes non-rhythmic, sometimes rhythm led. The overall concept underlying the 'Process sound' is to explore music´s relation to space and therefore picks on the heritage of true English minimalism such as LFO, Sweet Exorcist etc."

Title:	Heimische Gefilde
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 019CD

This is the second full-length release from Bonn-based DJ, producer and park ranger, Dominik Eulberg. For four years, Eulberg has been releasing on his home label, Traum. His previous nine 12"s, his Nathan Fake and Cosmic Sandwich remixes and, of course, his debut album Flora & Fauna have made him quite a hotbed of music, which has led to international praise for his unique brand of "wild life techno." The influence of nature (bird twitters, owl hoots, flowing water, crunching leaves) and other domestic sounds has made his music easy to identify with. "Heimische gefilde" means "native habitat," and this release takes the concept of his debut a step further and at the same time is a retrospective of his major hits. Tracks like "Die Rotbauchunken vom Tegernsee" and "Björn Borkenkäfer" are included here in unreleased edits that are even stronger than the originals, and as a bonus, previously vinyl-only track "Der Alpenstrandläufer von Spiekeroog" is now included on CD for the first time. Dominik Eulberg's music is much more than just a straight bass drum enriched with samples. Heimische Gefilde fully realizes Eulberg's pledge to mend contradictory parts of a whole: every track is presented, each animal is introduced by Dominik expressed in a lyrical, almost poetic form, ala old school National Geographic narrator. The album culminates in "Stelldichein des Westerwälder Vogelchores," a track that is definitely techno, but techno that is roused to life through its protagonists: 100% birds only, with no effects or additives. The first "acoustic" techno track ever. Synth-stabbed pure dance numbers are folded into introspective floor-throbbers so that each song is a wholly different animal all its own. Heimische Gefilde is danceable and natural: get out your field glasses.

Title:	100
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 020CD

Traum celebrates 10 years and their 100th vinyl release with a compilation CD chock full of unreleased tracks from artists that have been with them since the beginning: Broker/Dealer, Fairmont, Gabriel Ananda, Jesse Somfay, Process, Dominik Eulberg and Thomas Brinkmann. Traum also boasts a sampling from their current artist roster: Moonbeam, Bukaddor & Fishbeck, Minilogue and Super Flu. The West Coast duo Broker/Dealer opens the CD with a taste of their self-generated melodies that are as smooth and as colorful as ice cream reflecting the summer light. Dominik Eulberg's track is reminiscent of soundtrack music from a '70s hippie movie. Bukaddor & Fishbeck are new on Traum and their track highlights their stunning ability for creating dynamics through small details. Minilogue's "Carnival" is an electronic safari, stripped-down and rhythmical, as opposed to their post-trance past. Thomas Brinkmann returns with a high-energy groove monster with delicately deep moments that will suck you in. Dominik and Riley offer a mix featuring four instruments playing the original melody in variations, creating a euphoric madness. Super Flu's track is a strong tool with a murderous bass line that will corner the dancer on the floor. Moonbeam's super-sensual track is exceptionally cool -- all soft and sweet with melodies moving in slow motion. Gabriel Ananda serves up a fusion of post-Detroit rock mixed with cool melodies. Fairmont works his melodic sequencer on a driven epic which comes here in an edited form to be later released in a longer version. Process aka Steve Barnes has done it again with a super-smooth and contemplative groover that reminds us of the early days of house and techno, when music was a playground for feelings without the pressure of commerce. To the past, and the future, and 100 more.

Artist:	APPLESCAL
Title:	A Slave's Commitment
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 021CD

This is the debut full-length release from The Netherlands' Applescal. Even after releasing only one 12" on Traum, the label is confident that this young artist embodies the new wave in indie electronic dance music -- a hunch now given some weight after Applescal was voted "Producer of the Year" in his home country. On A Slave's Commitment, he combines melodic electronics and dance tracks with grunge, creating an almost live-band sound. There is a lot of explosive youthfulness here, reflecting newer heroes and influencers like Apparat and Extrawelt, rather than Richie Hawtin or Ricardo Villalobos. The CD starts off with the beautiful track "The History Of Love," making the world feel like it's twisting in slow-motion. "Nottingham Hobbits" transports and extends a similar emotion, whereas "Ugly But Nasty" introduces dirty acid bass lines, reminiscent of his Traum 12" track, "Monster." "In The Mirror" has a bit more of a band approach, sounding like The Cure, My Bloody Valentine or Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, and carrying a ghostly atmosphere with chords and feedback. "Music For Her Ears" is the ambient piece... a bit of a sad and melancholic track that somehow connects modern electronica with piano. "I Can't Stand" also works with ambience, but rocks away into a sort of a shuffle beat. "The Forms Of Abstract Life" is a masterpiece, intimately visualizing the beauty of flowers and nature. "The Red Dress" is a noise interlude -- psychedelic, alienated and strange. "Funk and FC" is a grinding acid track that starts quiet and works with a classic build-up, getting frantic and noisy. Applescal also remixed a track by the Dutch band Local Daddies, using the vocals and bass of the original and changing everything else around it, giving it a Portishead twist. The album closes with "Reeeer," a melodic and comic track that swallows everything in its path, like a colorful and happy/sad Aphex Twin.

Title:	A Mishmash Of Changing Moods
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 022CD

The Netherlands' Applescal presents a hotly-anticipated second full-length album for Traum. These new tracks are cinematic, with moods ranging from uplifting and joyful to dark, melancholic and claustrophobic ones. Working on a stronger conceptual level has allowed Applescal to pull all the tricks out of the bag. "The Curle In Me" is a driving, quirky drum and bass sort of track that works with a disturbing deepness and melancholy. "A Former Curse" is a short interlude which sounds like a falling star, tumbling and spinning around its own axis until it is burned out. "Dialeague" is a heavy and mighty grinding caterpillar of a track, and "The Key Of Genes" features a superbly-composed melody with unearthly, Aphex Twin-like attachment. "MC Iron" feels like a trip through an impenetrable jungle, full of beauty and tension, while "IB OK" is full of droning noises, engine-like, heavily spinning until it gives up its life. "Roofs Of Heaven" is a piece of heavy, Detroit-touched psychedelic rock with great organ parts and feedback. "The Flop" feels like a hard and edgy piece of metal and its beat is like a smack in the face. Hard to imagine that it it turns to Krautrock after that. "Black Spirals" is almost a piece of easy listening with very sweet moments and hilarious changes of patterns and dynamics. "Door Weer En Wind" has a cinematic soundtrack feel -- almost classic electronica a la Terry Riley. A Mishmash Of Changing Moods has the fresh and lively spirit of handcrafted electronica, with an incredible analog sound.

Title:	Diorama
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 024CD

This is the fourth full-length release from Bonn-based DJ, producer and park ranger, Dominik Eulberg. After the Heimische Gefilde (TRAUM 019CD) album, which won the German critic award as the first techno album ever on which comments by the artist himself appear in spoken word, Eulberg has this time aimed at an album which embodies various facets of electronic music. Diorama therefore resembles something totally new and original and can be referred to as an affiliation towards the real "authentic" Eulberg sound cosmos. He has accomplished this with the highest possible standard and contemporary sound aesthetic. Eulberg has set the bar at an extreme height for himself and the result will pile-drive even the die-hard fans into solid, rocky soil. Eulberg has unbuttoned his "techno coat" and has come up with timeless electronica no one would have expected of him. It is his first album where he has rather played music instead of manipulating it and it holds up that skill from the very beginning to the very end, non-stop. For Diorama, Dominik Eulberg has selected, in cooperation with Germany's nature magazine NABU, the 11 greatest wonders of domestic nature, because it is not only in exotic parts of the world that one can find incredible innovations of nature -- they can also be found at your front door. Their existence is concealed from many of us and only by means of closer examination and a raised awareness for their secrets can we discover this world full of miracles. For this world of hidden wonders, a graphic diorama was specially designed, depicting a well-known world full of unknown phenomena. For each wonder, Dominik Eulberg has composed a piece of music which reflects in sound and dynamic the accounted wonder.

Catalog #:	TRAUM 031EP

"If there is such as a figurehead of the new evolving Canadian /American clicks & cuts techno scene, it could be Tomas Jirku. His unique sounding tracks are based on samples culled from his favorite funk and pop tunes, and then processed to such an extreme degree that the original is indiscernible. Jirku combines dub elements with haunting rhythms to reconstruct a sound which is influenced by Cologne's minimalism, English pop culture and US house music. His quality relies heavily on his clever and fast programming and his experience in club culture resulting in tracks almost indeterminable for listeners. His newest release on Traum highlights this quality, nevertheless concentrates on the more smooth, stable, and bass-y tracks opposed to his more clickery tracks."

Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 045EP

"Static People is a very funky stripped down groover, which could remind people of Steve Bug's music on Pokerflat. It shows the new direction of Traum combining techno with romantic & dark feelings rather than with ambient ideas, as there were in the past which had to be highlighted. The record comes with two very different mixes, the 'Harmony Mix' being rather soulful and deep but funky with q cool piano and short string parts the 'Sequenzer Mix' on the flipside instead is rather nervous and reflect more speed and direct energy, including vocals by Triple R. Static People originally was a statement concerning the Cologne dance scene some months ago, here it appears in excerpts/phrases."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 048EP

"The nature scientist Dominik Eulberg, scholar at the University of Bonn has sampled sounds of a biotope in which the Rotbauchunke lives, a frog with a beautiful red chest and as we believe with a strong organ. The result is a dodgey ride, unpredictable in any way, energetic but also heavy and slow grinding. The title track is in fact a grinding slow techno tune with lots of distractive integrated sounds, crazy drum breaks. A slammer! The B-side is contrary to the a-side again a quite melodic hypnotic ride. Enjoy."

His project as Echopilot differs from his techno project as Brian Aneurysm as far as he now uses German voice with an 'American accent' in a rather explicit way and breaks the rhythm in funky bits rather than diggin' the 4/4 beat throughout his tracks. Within 4 tracks he develops charming and crass passages, creating with 'Opticalcentre' a comparison with Isolees 'Beau Mon Plage'. 'Finstere Zeiten' is one of his own favorites that reminds us of early German new wave band DAF."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 050EP

"Adam Kroll is since a couple of months a new artist on Traum, working intensely with the label. With his follow up to Oliver Hackes 'Polar 1' he has earned international recognition. 'Sylphen' is in contrast to his debut record, one which is reflecting to 100% his energetic complex almost jazzy way of making music. Untamed and ruthless, still controlled, 'Squonk' is the primetime rhythm-rocker of his new set of songs. Totally different is 'Yngoor' which klings more to the 'Polar 2' episode, a roaring techno animal, whereas 'Puk' is a melodic tree which leaves us with no words to comment on."

Title:	Monster Boy & Girls EP

Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 051EP

"Popnebo has released a super track on the Interkontinental 3 compilation and several super records on Below records. His debut EP on Traum seems to be his interpretation of Traum's Latin America roots fused with a good portion of his machine ridden rhythm patterns and twisted electronic sounds that evolve and change during the track enormously. The a-side: 'Monsters Make Love to(k)night' is a classic Traum piece of music, romantic but still track enough to make it in the DJ case and on the floors of those who know. The tracks on the flipside: 'Boys Don´t Cry Tomorrow' and 'Girls We Loved Yesterday' are more typical for Popnebo and will add a harsher edge to the sweetness of the his newest track to date: 'Monsters Make Love to(k)night'."

"Five Green Circle is Dublin based electronic musician Donal Tierney. He started his music career playing guitar in various bands ranging from punk/metal to new romantic/synth pop. As Donnacha Costello, he started producing for D1 recordings in Dublin and has been championed by many international names as Laurent Garnier and Akufen to name just a few. He regularly performs live at D1's weekly club night Model One. 'Text XXX' appeared in a different mastered version on the Interkontinental 3 (CD version) under the name of Donal Tierney and appears here for the first time on vinyl. It is a fine blend of microhouse and cut ups, smooth and warm-soulful. 'Scream' is a 'Stakkato-samplemania' techno burner and be a true post-Detroit techno tune."

Due to the fact that there was a strong demand for these two tracks which were not on the vinyl release, Traum has reacted and releases now two vinyl cuts of the tracks by Process, aka Steve Barnes, and Kosuke Anamizu. The track 'Boll' by Process is longer and comes in a much clubbier version whereas Anamizu's tracks 'Moopy' is only mixed differently."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 056EP

"Who does not know 'The Sky is Pink' on Border Community by Nathan Fake? An epic without comparison. Since then he has constantly released fabulous records on that label. Traum was very delighted to receive a demo by Mr Fake and instantly agreed on an EP. For our label Traum, that is running for seven years, highlighting melodies and grooves in one cosmos it is a natural progression to take on an artist that has similar ideas but fuses them in a universal and delicate manner. The 12 minute long epic track 'Dinamo' to speak with the words of Nathan Fake is one of the best 'house' tracks he has done so far. Still quite electronic and more than that, it is as hypnotic as the movement of a snake and is comparable to the best of Mathew Johnson's tracks around. On the flipside Nathan Fake has recorded an true acid track with tricky bits a 303 cannot by itself and a track where he sings on and which highlight a bit of the spirit of the a-side in a deeper state of mind."

"It is pretty hard to give a real biography about a person that is part of a fast changing situation in Rumania, because these cities are in a state of transfer from one extreme to the next. Still The Face has spotted him in their December issue of 2003 and have made him a prototype of the new and forthcoming young techno generation. Eastern cities have been heralded by some as the New London. The Model's music is extreme and determined and you can heard the blood running through his veins. A techno Dracula? 'Robotiko' is a track that reminds us of Carl Craig repetitive beats, the shot of R6s best times and rain dance was favored by DJ Hell when he first heard it."

Dominik Eulberg & Michael Mayer remixes. "After the success of the original 'Dinamo' by Nathan Fake, Traum presents the remixes. Both are different in style from the original track and different in their original version, Dominik Eulberg created a dynamic rhythm monster out of the very universal and genre breaking 'Dinamo,' a track which has started up a discussion worldwide of what the track reminded people of. A magic seems to be connected with the track and so it seems very hard to remix this opus. On the other hand, the euphoria over the music has solved this problem quickly. Dominik Eulberg has taken the track to a stage which is more Chicago than London, pumping up the rhythm section, seeming to go nowhere than into the clouds of the fog on the dancefloor... the pounding beats of the night in the blood of a person who loves to play the big floors. Other than that we see on the flipside Michael Mayer with his elegant and pop-fed deep mix of 'Coheed,' highlighting that wonderful track in a new light and strengthening the value it deserves rather than being the small brother of 'Dinamo' for the rest of its life. The track seems to be now an independent track, with a quality of its own with other values! Michael Mayer plays with the beauty, melody and deepness of 'Coheed.' Enjoy the Traum-ride!"

"Part I of the two 'Flora & Fauna' remix records featuring Cologne artist André Kraml and the U.S. musician Justin Maxwell. Kramel being famous for his surreal techno and rocking house, releases regally on Firm under the name of Safari and Andrè Kraml. André is also one of Germany's leading sound designers. Producing the sound design for German and international movies. In his remix of 'der purpurrote sonnenuntergang am schilfsumsäumten bergsee' he uses nature sounds as well as pounding basslines and snippets of vocals (by Schad Privat; MC from Schaeben und Voss). His trippy sounds are used to created a journey in sound alongside stomping beats, slowly accelerating and escalating in a fantastic after-hour melody... somehow Spanish flavored. Justin Maxwell, who releases regularly on John Tejada's Palette Recordings, has remixed 'die invasion der taschenkrebse.' His remix results in a robotic but hypnotic and dark techno track. Maxwell's production drags the clubber into deep and deeper spheres. Justin introduces a tricky kind of funk in the middle of his track... it will not let you down."

"The second part of the two 'Flora & Fauna' remix 12"s features Hamburg's producer Remute, Hrdvsion from Switzerland and Adam Kroll from Cologne. The A-side features remute's remix of 'die trottelummen von helgoland' one of the big hits on the album being played by Sven Väth and others a lot. Remute, who is also known under Error Error on Italic, has produced a dramatic percussive track with strong cut ups. His robotic 'trottelummen' sounds and breaks... build up into a frantic sequencer-driven techno track in the end. Big floor techno! Hrdvsion's remix of 'das röhren der rotwildbrunft' is a strong deconstruction of the Dominik Eulberg original, cutting up every single channel and adding plugins in an Aphex Twin/Akufen manner. His track is an experiment with software including genre crossing elements. Hrdvsion has recorded several records on Plak, itiswhatitis and will record an Wagon Repair later this year. Last but not least Adam Kroll delivers a remix of 'kein nieten bei den herbseitlosen,' less cut-up and deconstructed than the original and more in the vein of his previous records on Traum."

Catalog #:	TRAUM 065EP

"The Canadian Jesse Somfay, an all dressed in black musician with shoulder length blond hair and razor sharp dialogues, cuts though with a twisted, big time sound. His second Traum release We Breathe the Stars Through Each Other is a great momentum of a throbbing, energetic flow of energy...emerging in a modern version of Velvet Underground's 'While Light White Heat.' Jesse's tracks are digital feedback club music, relentless and without fear, endless, limited to nothing but its sounds and resources... A cosmic avalanche... A wall of sound...a signal of life ...communication! 'This Fragile Addiction' is an epic, drugged out, mental journey into a world full of nothing but warm, enveloping and shimmering sunlight reminiscent of shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Lush and also space rock bands such as Sigur Ros and Explosions In the Sky. 'For One Brief Moment, I Was There' is a melancholy cloud of crisp and chilling melodies with shattered and stuttering percussion. Jesse brings together his favorite spacy indie rock sounds with the drive of electronic dance music to bring a completely unique and ecstatic experience to the dance floor. His only goal is to make quality emotionally thrilling music which is completely genre defying. We Breathe The Stars Through Each Other has a lot in common with James Holden and Friends working on sounds, overtaking the whole track killing minimal music for a second. But his tracks also reveal some of the past of minimal music and how it used to be with techno."

Socialized through his club experiences in greater Frankfurt, M.Müller manages to add a variety to Traum's music that only process has tackled before. In comparison to his previous releases his style has changed slightly. Both tracks on the Traum v66 act more rhythmically and consist of funk from head to toe. Markus Müller is all groove and his music is made up of house feeling. He lets beats rotate and bass drums hop. His A-side track 'Chives' lives to a considerably extent from a Latin influence which reminds of 'Beaumont Plage' from Isolee. The track fascinates with its complex melodic behavior but still has a very catchy tune. In contrary the flipside track 'Chop' is clearly a reduced rhythm track. A DJ tool which rocks."

Dominik has produced a melodic A-side which works in favor of a classic dynamic build. Featuring drum patterns and small digits of sounds...finally opening up in a melodic string arrangement. The flipside 'Der Totenkopfschwärmer im Bienenstock' is a strong techno track with glitches and superb breaks. It evolves into a strong bassline driven track, that highlights the quality of modern techno sound design and arrangement!"

This contrast is easily perceivable in three facets on his debut EP on Traum. With his rocking A-side 'Twelve' and the Herbert flavored 'Chick' as well as the more electronic 'Slipping Away.'"

"Harzer Roller is the fist release produced by the newly formed duo Dominik Eulberg & Gabriel Ananda. It was created in the mountains of the Harz in Germany which Dominik and Gabriel visited when they took some time out from travelling and raving. They locked themselves up in a log cabin and produced till the morning sun appeared. A new era seams to have opened up for them. They fit perfectly to each other, Dominik with his love for detail & rave and Gabriel's affinity to deepness & melodies. The floating quality of the melodies mingling with the stabbing rhythm elements of Dominik Eulberg create a special psychedelic atmosphere. Both artists were influenced strongly by Sven Väth beginning of the '90s which you can feel in both of the tracks. From Dominik and Gabriel's point of view 'Harzer Roller' is a modern interpretation of trance."

Lars has recorded together before with various people releasing tracks on Freizeitglauben as Vanilla Krepp and on Electric Avenue as C.I.T. His Traum 12" resembles a unique fusion of '80s new wave influences with minimal techno that result in a Rockeria clash of unorthodox sounds and minimal rhythm patterns monotone and hypnotizing, creating the impossible. The A-side 'Blutrausch' (engl. Bloodlust), is an excursion with the speed of light into the past and then beamed back into the present. Yet no one has done this transfer in such an adventurous rush so far. The track fades out before it has even started, the feeling remains... what was that! Lars has a tight groove that rocks away like the Silver Surfer, incorporating sharp metallic sounds, cutting through it with the force and precision of an axe."

Triple LP version. The change in the style of the music coming out on Traum in the year 2005 is reflected in this brand new Interkontinental 5 3LP. In the tradition of the annual Interkontinental series, number 5 is thoughtfully compiled by A & R head Riley Reinhold aka Triple R. In comparison to the previous Interkontinental releases, number 5 features the more dance-crazy side of the label, with a lot of new artists alongside the core artists: Adam Kroll who was very successful already this year with his Godzilla 12"; Jesse Somfay on the heels of new progressive techno in Canada; Process aka Steve Barnes using new technology for hi-tech ambience in techno; Zentex blends techno functionalism with unearthly strings. Last but not least Triple R produced a track together with Emanuel Geller slightly more in the old-school acid direction with Kraut-rock strings to boot. Hailing from Austria, Belgium and Germany, the new artists on this release stand for the uprising generation making sophisticated crossovers into different genres and sound design concepts. All tracks on Interkontinental 5 are new and unreleased and incorporate a sense of melody and harmony building on Traum's tradition for the last 8 years, plus a determined attitude to push boundaries and support today's sound design and musical arrangements.

Minilogue is Sweden's own Marcus Henriksson and Sebastian Mullaert. On the borderline between minimal techno and modern trance, this duo defines a new kind of dance music that fits perfectly with Traum's vision of the future. Leopard EP is powerful in its melodies and panoramic analog sound, while still remaining sensuous and fragile. Minilogue are masters of the build-ups, making their music an adventurous trip from powerful synth melody to seconds of silence. "The Leopard" puts emphasis on live energy, while "Seconds" creates a stunning, slow crescendo, taking the expectations of what will happen to the limit. Minilogue will give you goose-pimples.

Format:	12"

Catalog #:	TRAUM 074EP

Germany-based Dominik Eulberg's two new tracks are not aggressive but euphoric open air slammers. They create goose pimples when the strings come into action. "Der Buchdrucker" is a party crasher in a big way, but a bit different from its predecessors -- more "Detroit," more dry, less playful. The record of course still holds sounds from the Flora & Fauna release for which Dominik is best-known. This time Dominik experimented with sounds from the forest, and the outcome is two very different tracks. The A-side track "Der Buchdrucker" works directly towards the exploding melody, and the B-side track "Björn Borkenkäfer" has a strong, classic Detroit influence.

Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)

Catalog #:	TRAUM 075EP

This is the first release of the Hamburg-based duo Extrawelt on Traum. Schaffhausen and Raabe make music composed and produced in a big studio with lots of hardware, with a focus on sounds that withstand time. Doch Doch consists of heavy driving basslines, sound stabs and an eruptive wailing melody that builds up, generating a powerful rocker for the dance floor! "Last Past" is an electroish rhythm box sort of track, darkish and a night crawler... for the hours where the party is being generated by impulses. Just beats and stabs and howling dry sounds, low and just keeping the beat going.

Title:	Feeling Spicy
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)

Catalog #:	TRAUM 076EP

Kenny Leaven is based in Erfurt, Germany, and this is his debut release for Traum. Leaven was raised on a diet of new wave and Depeche Mode, and his sound is most comparable to that of Dominik Eulberg's. His sound is less fractured than most of the sound from Germany -- instead, it is as fat it can be: elegant and modern, hypnotic and challenging. "Feeling Spicy" starts with hammering beats and rough sequences, then suddenly breaks down and dives into a sweet melody which makes its way back into the strong hypnotic groove. "Feed Me Better" is for the later hours of the party -- a funky groove with darkish haunted sounds that fly in and out of the mix.

Originally released on the 12" Eine kleine Schmetterlings-Hommage, the remixes of "Blueten sind dem Grossen Schillerfalter fremd" bear a big surprise as they feature Adam Beyer and Renato Figoli. Adam Beyer works his way through the jungle of Dominik Eulberg's "butterfly sounds" to incorporate them in his super-strong techno production. Mr. Figoli brings sounds together and then sneaks them into stripped down, bass-driven beats. With this record two different sides of techno clash in a wonderful way.

Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 079EP

Hamburg-based duo Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe (Midimiliz) have created a parallel world and a harbor for techno with their Extrawelt project. They compose and produce in a big studio with lots of hardware, with a focus on sounds that can be comforting as well as a driving force. Schmedding 8000 combines power with lush melodic moments. The A-side track defines itself though its bassline and quirky melody, sounding as if midgets were muttering words no one can understand. The flipside is more classic in its tension, as it slowly steers towards a pool of sequences that are beautiful in color and shape. Extrawelt's dramatic build-up is catchy and keeps the music slender, minimal, vital and techno.

Catalog #:	TRAUM 080EP

The A-side track "The Leopard" of Minilogue's recent hit record on Traum has now been remixed by the well known Hamburg-based duo Extrawelt and by newcomer Roel H. from the Netherlands. Extrawelt's remix was produced in the fantastic, emotional and powerful style for which they are well known. Their track is a passionate one that works more on the melodic side than turning up the tempo and percussions. A wonderful voyage of floating music. On the B-side, Roel H.'s remix works through different melodic layers underpinned by roaring and linear beats.

Moonbeam are two brothers from Russia who started to record on Traum with their recent remix of Minilogue's 'Seconds,' and who now are preparing a second 12". "Eclipse" feels like a road trip to far-out rocky regions... reflecting light, silvery colors, solitude and mystery. A fantastic mystic journey with a nice flow of melodies and a brilliant break halfway through. "Sunshine" generates an early morning feeling, when the first sunbeam hits the earth and starts to warm up the things around you. Musically, the track develops into a wonderful house tune -- its superb melodies and gentle movement make it a real summery tune.

Title:	Limikolen

Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 084EP

This is Dominik Eulberg's 12th release on Traum. Limikolen comes with two powerful tracks which mark a change in style for the techno-naturalist. The first track is the most stripped-down techno he has recorded in years. No melodies, no fancy sounds, no baroque architectural sound-shaping. This is the original sound of techno, with twisted sequences and vocal stabs that create a massive rocking beat. The second track is a heavy beat track with a gentle movement and deep Rhodes-like piano/organ sounds -- more hypnotic and peaceful in its approach.

The track "Doch Doch" from Extrawelt's first Traum release has now been remixed by four artists and will be released in two parts. The original track is a powerful rocker for the dance floor. Part one features a remix by Jeff Samuel, one of Extrawelt's favorite producers. Jeff has taken Extrawelt's track to a minimal jacking groove, the style he is famous for. The flipside features a remix by Larsson who brings together Detroit and trance which results in some spaced-out moments. The track is very hypnotic and relies on a nice sequencer rhythm.

Tinitus Pärt (Feliks Thielemann) & Mathias Schwarz are Super Flu. The duo assimilates different styles such as techno and electronic music and fuses them in a musical way that is breathtaking. Both tracks on She make the transition from machine strength tightness over acoustic sound cascades to melodies and still remains 100% clubby. The duo have released a lot of remixes and some 12"s and work as DJs in Germany. This grand opener for Traum puts them right next to artists such as James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Minilogue, Extrawelt, etc. Techno music that makes you take a journey.

One remix by 2000 And One aka Dylan Hermelijn and the other by Traum's new mega-talented duo, Super Flu. 2000 And One elevates the sequence-triggered minimal track and strips it down to a long intro containing the original sequence, slowly introducing a funky, super groove and adding small sounds... a prime time mega mover! Super Flu's remix has the quality of a great James Holden track, with a dynamic that is constantly shifting -- always alert and rocking in all situations.

Dejan Galic lives in the Netherlands and recorded his debut 12" on the legendary R&S label from Belgium. Dejan's first release on Traum celebrates the comeback of Belgian techno. "Abbey Draught" has the motion of a revolving massive black planet -- a frightening and threatening dark atmosphere deriving from a plain bleak surface. "Coup De Coeur" is a steam hammer of a techno track. It reduces the melodic part to a melody played by bells deep inside the core of the track's parameters. The kick drums and basslines create a vacuum of a pressure-cooker. A massive techno avalanche.

This is the second collaboration between these two artists on Traum. Their weekly visits have become somewhat of a ritual, meeting at Ananda's factory for some cherry Danish pastries & jasmine tea. What sounds harmless ends up being a real rave bomb. "NGC 101" is a 10-minute freakout that relies on a reduced beat. "Supernova" sneaks in a lovely chord that makes its way through layers of bass and knob twists, warming the heart of every clubber.

Mathew Leutwyler's track is a perfect Christmas techno-groover, with heart-warming melodies and a melodic style that fits perfectly on Traum. The duo Joint Custody deliver a stripped-down rocker which rocks with its groove, massive elements and its central vocal. Happy New Year!

An herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens. On the sleeve of this 12" is a selection of Dominik Eulberg's favorite plants. Their fragile and neat features are as romantic as the tracks on this record, which are based on his finest melodic moments from his Flora & Fauna LP. "Kriechender Günsel" is a rhythmic techno groover that incorporates an Aphex Twin-like melody. "Kuckucks-Lichtnelke" is sparse and delicate, like a flower.

Greek duo Airbus Modular release this 3-tracker in anticipation of their debut full-length. "Destinations" is a brainy, melodic avalanche with sequences wandering up and down, randomly creating a Latin-like flavor. "Poise" is technical and energetic, with lots of different parameters and small details that develop into a dubby, relaxed, techno-house track. "Manoeuvres Time Seconds" is more experimental and occasionally hits with organ stabs and cool breaks.

Title:	Rattelschneck
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 101EP

Key Traum artists Super Flu stem from the same creative corner of Germany as Wighnomy Brothers and labels such as Freude am Tanzen and Moon Harbour. "Rattelschneck" ("rattlesnake") is a minimal groover with stripped-down rhythmic tools that are fused with short melodic anecdotes. "Deathmetal (Schöne Frauen Haben Große Handtaschen)" ("beautiful death metal girls have large handbags") sounds as if greedy and hungry handbags are running amok. This is a track of pure madness for the floor.

Title:	Part 4 - 100
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 102EP

The Traum label presents two tracks that were not released on the Traum 100 vinyl, newly mastered and in a longer mix. Gabriel Ananda brings Detroit to Cologne. "Lila Pause" fuses polyrhythmic grooves with deep bass lines and combines these with strings and melodies that will provide DJ sets with a cool break. Fairmont's "Down The Rabbit Hole" is an epic, dream-like sequencer-driven techno track. It comes here in a longer version and was mastered by Emanuel Geller.

Artist:	TOBAR, RICARDO
Title:	With You
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 103EP

This is Ricardo Tobar's debut 12" on Traum. "La Otra Playa" is an electronic grunge piece with lots of feedback and noises on top of a melodic carpet. Here, electronica meets the pioneer days of techno. "With You" combines euphoric rippling and fuzzy guitars with techno beats. "Escalera A Central" is the most minimal track -- more stripped-down and focused on sounds that act on a smaller scale in relation to the rhythm. A psychedelic DJ tool that changes direction.

Artist:	EXTRAWELT
Title:	Mind Over Doesn't Matter
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 105EP

Extrawelt present Mind Over Doesn't Matter, a rough, street-like EP. "Im Garten Von Eben" comments on the music industry and our current economic situation, relying on heavy but melodic bass lines. Long rhythmic build-ups with drops of chords and chopped-up vocals lead to the grand finale. "Erste Unversicherte Allgemeinheit" is a massive, classic tune with big bass. "Aufnahmezustand" is a more straight four-to-the-floor rocker! True techno, but also hypnotic, paying tribute to trippy and percussive moments.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Harmonisch Serie
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 107EP

Max Cooper is a UK DJ who is also involved in mathematical modeling research on the evolution of networks of genes, a sci-art project combining evolutionary and music production algorithms. Max has joined Traum with a 3-tracker, including a remix by Kanio. Cooper's innovative programming positions him alongside artists such as Dominik Eulberg, Minilogue and Extrawelt. His epic structure has a unique narrative character and sometimes dares to become almost soundtrack-like, full of ambience, but with a sci-fi edge.

Artist:	EULBERG & GABRIEL ANANDA, DOMINIK
Title:	Eucalypse Now
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 108EP

Here comes the long-awaited second part of the collaboration between Dominik Eulberg and Gabriel Ananda. "Eucalypse Now" is a cool, almost Latin-flavored groove track with cool synth stabs which highlight peaks of powerful chubbiness. "Bill Kilgore" is a static, monotone, post-trance, epic track which slowly builds up to a 10-minute mind-bender. All tracks were mastered by Emanuel Geller of Salz mastering in Cologne who has mastered all of Dominik's tracks in the past.

Artist:	EULBERG, DOMINIK
Title:	Sensorika
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 110EP

Dominik Eulberg addresses senses and the feelings they trigger with Sensorika. "Aurora" is a dubby rhythm track with a dynamic build-up. House influences are strong and capture a deep, intense vibe. "Sansula (Oder Der Letzte Grund)" refers to Alfred Andersch's masterpiece, Sansibar Oder Der Letzte Grund (1957). The track is constructed from 3-dimensional, natural sounds that create an organic and deep atmosphere. There's even a sample of Gabriel Ananda swinging his golf clubs and closing the trunk of his car.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Symphonica
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 112EP

Max Cooper's Symphonica EP is based on the combination of natural imperfection from real sound sources such as that of an orchestral symphony, and the mathematical precision such as that used in the synthesis of electronic music for recordings. "Symphonica" is richly arranged with elements of Harmonisch Serie, whereas Perc's interpretation of "The End Of Reason" gives it a very DJ-friendly twist. "Wasp" has a dirty Detroit funk bass line counteracted by a new school, trippy sequence.

Artist:	EXTRAWELT
Title:	Deine Beine
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 113EP

Extrawelt presents drowning pianos and urgent bass lines with Deine Beine. "Mit Liese Auf Der Wiese" is a Chicago house-injected track with modulating electric pianos, keeping a nice balance between techno and electro. "Clap's Cally" is a nightcrawler: Detroit techno, electronica, dubby delays and ambient all blend into a mystic atmosphere. "Was Ubrig Bleibt" has a bit of a dubstep as well as a stronger electronic edge, and is already supported by Dominik Eulberg.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Stochastisch Serie
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 117EP

The title of Max Cooper's Stochastisch Serie EP refers to his use of stochastic methods, also known as non-deterministic or random methods of sound generation. The stochastic elements refer mainly to real vocal experiments matched with sampled sounds which create a rich complexity. His dancefloor rockers "Stochastisch Serie" and "Mnemonic" work in a more functional way, but do include bits of this randomness and therefore are part of the superstructure. The remix by Leeks is full of swing and groove.

Artist:	TOBAR, RICARDO
Title:	Mi Pieza Esta Llena De Cosas
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 118EP

The music of Chilean artist Ricardo Tobar is a constant search for something new -- sometimes it's brutally on the borders of noise, sometimes it's very melodic. The title track is strong, with lots of twists and a psychedelic energy-flow. The track moves mountains, combining slow-motion massiveness with sirens singing wonderful, unearthly melodies. Remixed by Applescal, and hailed by De:Bug's Sascha Kösch as one of the big hopes for 2010.

Artist:	MOONBEAM & RICARDO TOBAR
Title:	The Dill Remix Chronicles
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 120EP

Traum issues the first edition of their bi-annual Black Bird series edition with this release containing remixes of Moonbeam and Ricardo Tobar by Roland M. Dill. Dill has chosen to remix Moonbeam's "Tiger" and Ricardo Tobar's "Mi Pieza Esta Llena De Cosas," and has turned them into tracks that are seductive as well as super functional. Amazing sound design, funky and ear-catching leads, coupled with sophisticated arrangements, these remixes are no modest remixes -- they are glamorous monsters with attitude.

Artist:	EULBERG, DOMINIK
Title:	Daten-Übertragungs-Küsschen Remixes
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 121EP

Dominik Eulberg is a techno artist who composes music out of classical elements such as melodies, analog synth sounds and self-made elements. Rodriquez Jr.'s mix keeps the gentle touch of the original but adds a quirky element for a super-catchy groover. Minilogue use snippets of the song to create a stream of sound. Their thrilling jam session transforms the bloomy original into a dubby style of techno that would go along neatly with the Hardwax dub outputs.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Chaotisch Serie
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 122EP

Chaotisch Serie is the last part of Max Cooper's collection of "Serie" releases. "Chaotisch Serie" features trippy delays reminiscent of the opening sequence of The Hunger with Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie at a Bauhaus concert. "Minertia" keeps a tight, rhythmic pattern alive, with plenty of distortion. "River Of Gold" features shiny melodies and lush, airy chord sequences that fly by like paper airplanes. This is balsam for your soul, a musical millipede massaging your spine.

Artist:	MOONBEAM
Title:	Distance
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 126EP

Moonbeam's track "Distance" carries the haunted and ghostly feeling of the '80s, with spine-tingling melodies which have always been the strength of their music. "The Underwater World" dives headlong into deep, dubbed techno soaked in bass, while at the same time, unbelievably colorful melodies appear as friendly "invaders." This track is a masterpiece and will be transformed into a visual piece of art by Moonbeam themselves, on the day of the release.

Artist:	FAIRMONT
Title:	3 Cities EP
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 130EP

Fairmont returns to Traum with 4 great tracks. "3 Cities" is a sonic track that opens with an arpeggiator sequence, leading to indistinguishable, inflammable vocals by Jacob Fairley himself. With "Supercluster," a dramatic and mighty electro epic is put into gear. "They Live In The Moon" recaptures the spirit of '60s psychedelia and is a unique blend of past and present electronics. "Mercury" could be have been written by Terry Riley or other '70s minimalist composers.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Expressions
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 131EP

Max Cooper has become one of the figureheads of modern composed electronic music on Traum. "Ripple" is an epic builder, heavy with bass, tripped-out FX, haunting abstract vocals, and spiced with teasing climaxes, evoking artists such as Terry Riley or Philip Glass. "Enveloped" is much more detached and dream-like, incorporating all the strength and vitality of classical music. Maetrik's remix provides a mutant disco experience before "Sea Of Sound" swings back to the original intention of this EP.

Artist:	MICROTRAUMA
Title:	Colorblind EP
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 135EP

Microtrauma present their debut on Traum. "Saturation" makes a spiritual link to electronic avant-garde of the '70s, still feeding the techno corpus with enough heavy bass line and kick to tweak dancefloors. "Diffusion" is soulful as well, maybe more linear and even more ghostly and haunting, spiced up with electronic-sounding bass lines, filtered voices from the distance, heavy delays and a pounding techno beat. "Contrast" relies on a breakbeat and steers different levels at each time -- gloomy yet bright.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Metaphysical EP
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 136EP

The track "Gravity's Rainbow" highlights the more stripped and pop-nurtured side of Max Cooper. Although seemingly light, this track is as complex as all of his work, using antagonistic elements such as golden, spine-tingling sounds that linger and a grand bass line melody that could be described as an award-winning hymn. "Gravity's Rainbow" is a catchy tune made to fill the dancefloor with a kind of happiness that is kind of rare for Max. Includes a remix by Dosem.

Artist:	EULBERG, DOMINIK
Title:	Diorama
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 137LP

2012 repress; 2LP version, featuring 8 out of the 11 tracks from the CD. This is the fourth full-length release from Bonn-based DJ, producer and park ranger, Dominik Eulberg. After the Heimische Gefilde (TRAUM 019CD) album, which won the German critic award as the first techno album ever on which comments by the artist himself appear in spoken word, Eulberg has this time aimed at an album which embodies various facets of electronic music. Diorama therefore resembles something totally new and original and can be referred to as an affiliation towards the real "authentic" Eulberg sound cosmos. He has accomplished this with the highest possible standard and contemporary sound aesthetic. Eulberg has set the bar at an extreme height for himself and the result will pile-drive even the die-hard fans into solid, rocky soil. Eulberg has unbuttoned his "techno coat" and has come up with timeless electronica no one would have expected of him. It is his first album where he has rather played music instead of manipulating it and it holds up that skill from the very beginning to the very end, non-stop. For Diorama, Dominik Eulberg has selected, in cooperation with Germany's nature magazine NABU, the 11 greatest wonders of domestic nature, because it is not only in exotic parts of the world that one can find incredible innovations of nature -- they can also be found at your front door. Their existence is concealed from many of us and only by means of closer examination and a raised awareness for their secrets can we discover this world full of miracles. For this world of hidden wonders, a graphic diorama was specially designed, depicting a well-known world full of unknown phenomena. For each wonder, Dominik Eulberg has composed a piece of music which reflects in sound and dynamic the accounted wonder.

Artist:	DAVIS, RYAN
Title:	Light & Shadow EP
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 138EP

Few artists in the electronic modern dance scene of today make music that seems serious and intense and still makes club people go wild. Ryan Davis captures a bit of the lost treasure of the golden days of techno, always reflecting moments of beauty with a collective feel. "Supernova" brings together hints of West Coast psychedelic soundtracks of the '70s, pop art, shoegaze and maybe Salvador Dali's surrealism. A masterful journey of truly epic proportions.

Artist:	COOPER, MAX
Title:	Empirisch EP
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 141EP

Max Cooper returns to Traum with his Empirisch EP. "Echoes Reality" moves from wonderful, lush sounds to a sequence of screeching tones and back, showing all the signs of a metamorphosis, realized on the highest possible level of production. For the first time on vinyl, there's an ambient rework of the highly in-demand "The End Of Reason." "Darkroom" has an amazing post-Detroit feeling to it as well as a Chicago jack one. Includes a remix by John Tejada.

Artist:	EULBERG, DOMINIK
Title:	Diorama Remixes Pt. 1
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRAUM 144EP

This is part 1 in a 12" remix series of tracks from Dominik Eulberg's album Diorama (TRAUM 024CD). Stephan Bodzin chose the clubbiest track on the album "Teddy Tausendtod" and transformed it into an afterhour monster. Petar Dundov remixed "Der Tanz Der Gluehwuermchen" and created a piece of music based on "Chicago trax beats" fuelled with Detroit strings. Much more on the melodic side of things is Ryan Davis' mix, who transformed "Taeuschnungs-Blume" into a soothing, Rhodes-powered, lush track.

Artist:	MINILOGUE
Title:	Let Life Dance Thru You
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 146EP

Minilogue's "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, like a spiritual "voodoo session" from the '70s. "Drop The Mask Of Self Protection" could be described as a soundtrack for Apocalypse Now -- haunting, hallucinatory, and evolving into deep acid.

Artist:	MINILOGUE
Title:	Let Life Dance Thru You Remixes
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 147EP

Traum presents some top remixes of tracks from Minilogue. The "Drop The Mask Of Self Protection" remix of Dominik Eulberg is a bit of an adventure, kicking off a relaxed percussive and deep house groove and undergoing 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. Other remixes from Microtrauma and Spada.
