DIE WELTRAUMFORSCHER // Metacode [ID22]


“For nearly 30 years, Swiss artist Christian Pfluger has been using the moniker Die Welttraumforscher – a German play on words that means both ‘the world dream researchers’ and ‘the space explorers’.
The Welttraumforscher’s explorations of inner and outer space result in an extensive output of music, visual art and literature, building a unique cosmology. Following his contribution to Interdisco’s 2004 compilation Winterdisco, we are proud to release the EP Metacode as the latest entry into the Welttraumforscher’s cosmic library. The music of Die Welttraumforscher has been remixed, among others, by Mouse on Mars and Felix Kubin.”

hryk // park 0.1ep [insectorama 042]


Holy shit, what is that?! “The park 0.1ep is hryk´s first release. The tracks in this EP are highly danceable but also quirky and playful. Deep and entrancing sounds fill this EP and demostrate hryk’s ability to move the dancefloor. That’s great Deeptechhousesound from Japan.” Especially the third track “a.d.2998” comes soft with a pumping bassline and drifty hi hats. You can’t escape this hypnotic groove – I love it!

LEE FRAGED // The Joint Stereo EP [TUP007]


Delicious – one of my favs for this month! “After participating in various projects, remixing & producing tracks, Lee Fraged returns back to base for his debut personal EP, aptly named “The Joint Stereo EP”. Lee provides three deep, dubby, house tracks, as a creative result of his sleepless nights in Chania & Berlin the last years. This EP is a soundtrack of a life between these cities, a collection of sounds, images & contrasts, further enhanced by a solid set of remixes. Our boy, Double Trouble transforms ‘Bless the Sinners’ into a modern deep house piece with an early 00’s feel while Fraged & his serbian pal Mthaza give their own take on the same track – previously available only on the cd compilation Late Night Express. On the other hand, the man behind the mixing desk – Soniferous Garden – offers his interpretations on the other two tracks, by turning in a peudoacid and an antistatic mix.”

CLEANSCREEN // Meliza [HW043]


“Cleanscreen is a project created by Christina Arvenko. Initially, the project was conceived as a new look at the Progressive music, but over time, and a number of facts, the project moved to a much more improvisational level and moved almost entirely on the IDM, Ambient and Experimental music. Each work is part of the inner world of the author, perhaps not everyone can understand this music, but everyone can feel.”

FLOATING MIND // M3 [monoKraK 23]


Floating Mind (Roberto Vitali) is making electronic music for ten years, now. Always searching for deep and groovy sounds, he founded the netlabel MonoKraK Records in 2006. He’s releasing also on other netlabels. He aims for releasing only on netlabels, because he wants to stay outside the music business, in order to be free for producing what he really like. Without any restrictions. Likeable.

KATYA STROGOVA // Changes [deepx112]


What happened to the house music? Untill Katya Strogova became a professional deejay, many deejays knew her already as a connoisseur of electronic music. “In general, detroit house is what i love. Regardless the direction of techno, nowhere you will hear so much techno as in detroit”, she says. Changes is both a chilled and drifty piece of tech house.
