TRAUM Schallplatten

„Dreamliner“ operates as a complementary counterweight and could easily be understood as a second a side. Its opening atmosphere is deeper, more restrained and dub informed, establishing an almost introspective tone during the first moments of the track. But Ron Flatter rarely allows a piece to remain in one emotional register for long. Gradually, layers accumulate, synthesizers widen the harmonic...

„Taikotim“ is built around sharp contrasts between reduction and explosive expansion, the track repeatedly interrupts its own momentum with near silent passages and stripped down breakdowns before returning at full force. These moments are not decorative pauses, they sharpen the listener’s focus and intensify the physical impact when the track opens again into massive, almost orchestral waves of s...

The EP closes with „Ikarus“, a track that reveals yet another dimension of Flatter’s production language. Here the focus shifts toward a drier, funk driven minimalism that may also resonate with listeners familiar with the aesthetic territory of Extrawelt. Tight rhythmic structures, subtle distortion and a slightly overdriven sense of motion give the track a nervous energy without ever becoming ch...

„Bettermaker“ dedicates itself entirely to a single mood. Through subtle pitch bending and a carefully shaped tonal palette, the track unfolds with a slightly eerie, enchanted atmosphere. From beginning to end, „Bettermaker“ remains focused and unwavering. There are no breaks or dramatic shifts in direction, instead, the piece commits fully to its initial setting. A monolithic, almost mantra like...

„Popcorn Forever“ reveals another side of Extrawelt’s thinking. The track unfolds like a curious experiment in motion. Instead of building toward a predictable climax, sounds are gradually tossed into an ever running loop fragments, textures and small rhythmic ideas appearing almost casually, as if the piece were assembling itself in real time. At first the elements seem loosely connected, sometim...

Extrawelt's „Moonster“ forms a subtle and almost magical bridge to early musical influences such as Immortal Coil, Chris & Cosey, The Cure, and Throbbing Gristle. In doing so, they reclaim, or rather reintroduce, a powerful, mystical element into their music, one that is integrated so naturally it feels as if it has always been an essential part of Extrawelt’s sonic DNA. Beyond that, the track unf...

Extrawelt's a-side „Moonster“ of their latest record forms a subtle and almost magical bridge to early musical influences such as Immortal Coil, Chris & Cosey, The Cure, and Throbbing Gristle. In doing so, they reclaim, or rather reintroduce, a powerful, mystical element into their music, one that is integrated so naturally it feels as if it has always been an essential part of Extrawelt’s sonic D...

WUKAH returns to Traum Schallplatten after his previous EP with us. His new track “The Waves” embodies a sense of electronic wanderlust a journey that rises and falls in rhythmic motion. Staccato-like bursts of sound accelerate and decelerate, shaping a pulse that ebbs and flows like the tides themselves. It’s a composition built on motion, tension, and release true to its name, The Waves.
