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."

"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.

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."

Title:	Process - Re'Processed
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. The remixes rely to a high percentage on sound files of the Process track 'Pelican' released originally on the Elektronische Musik Interkontinental in 2001. Other artists have chosen other tracks for a remix, Such as 'Estero', 'Modif', 'Integ' all released on Traum. Drawing on the aspect of intercontinental friendship, the line up goes beyond the interior Traum family and features for the first time also internationally well known artists such as: Akufen (Trapez, Force Inc., Perlon), Fairmont aka Jake Fairley (Sender, Dump Unit, Traum), Cabanne (Telegraph), Move D (Source, Warp), Jeff Milligan (Force Inc., Revolver, Cynasure), Tomas Jirku (Klang, Force Inc., Revolver), Fax (Traum), Anton Kubikov (Trapez, Force Tracks, Salo), Jonas Bering (Kompakt), Olaf Dettinger (Kompakt), Markus Guentner (Kompakt, Ware), Joachim Spieth (Kompakt, Onitor), M.I.A.

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.

Artist:	BRINKMANN, THOMAS
Title:	Tour De Traum
Label:	TRAUM (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	TRAUM 015CD

Unbelievable Brinkmann remix/re-cut album, recalling the glorious days of this Profan/Studio One variations or Richie Hawtin/Concept remake. Features numerous exclusive C.U.T. (aka Brinkmann) remixes... "Thomas Brinkmann displays his perspective of 5 years of Traum music. The main interest of the label in the past was to generate interest for music similar in style, you may call it micro tech-house, written under different circumstances, adding domestic nuances and flavor to it, impossible for anyone but the people who wrote it. Thomas Brinkmann has chosen music from Traum he likes a lot and music which he can manipulate and interpreted. Philippe Cam and Process are constantly popping up, mixed and combined with other tracks on Traum. The tour opens quite electronic, progressing towards a steady techno beat, not unlike his own music. Not only has he changed the contains of some of the tracks, but he has also shifted the frequency range to a sphere which we call the Brinkmann sphere, means the bass heavy active basslines which he develops in his laboratory on his incredible p.a.. Thomas sees and hears things differently and twist and turns them to the better, he might argue. He heard complementary sequences and has them join as well as adding his own music sometimes. So the opener is a track that mixes TBA (Tusia Beridze known by her voice on 'Nikakoi') With M.I.A. in a fine way. Some of the tracks have not been released on a CD before, like Oliver Hacke 'Polar 1', a favorite of Daniel Bell and many other DJs appreciating the deep end on things. The piece of art shown on the cover of the CD, plays with the opinion of Cologne people, that the river Rhein flows in to the Zürich lake."

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.

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.

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."

"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."

"Echopilot is a new project by the Austrian born artist formerly know as Brian Aneurysm, living in Texas, USA. 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."

"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."

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'."

The track 'Boll' by Process is longer and comes in a much clubbier version whereas Anamizu's tracks 'Moopy' is only mixed differently."

"Born in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Jesse belongs geographically to the fine small group of Canadian people (Deadbeat/Akufen etc) around exploring electronic dance. But he is different. Traum is happy to present his second Canadian shooting star since Akufen and a big talent, Jesse Somfay. Jesse Somfay has started to produce electronic dance since 2000 and has had a chance to develop his DJ skills since then. Creating a moving , emotional experience by creating epic, layered tracks full of well crafted rhythm and finely knit melodies, distinguishes him from many of todays artists and builds an international emotional alliance with people such as Nathan Fake and Holden from Border Community. Jesse currently hosts an online radio show at livesets.com where he plays two hour sets of finely fitted minimal and deep Tech house. He is dedicated to creating a moving experience where tracks are not just heard, but are felt. This is also how he feels about producing."

"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 moveme
