TRAUM Schallplatten

Lazy love is a new artist from the United States who takes an unconventional path with “ Sun Behind The Cloud”. He works with raw, edgy indie textures, shaping sounds that sometimes clash and scrape against each other, yet never destructively. Instead, they merge at just the right moments to form dense, expressive walls of sound that rise into brief emotional peaks before dissolving again, leaving...

Lightline returns to Traum after having contributed to earlier editions. His approach remains delightfully unpredictable. An unorthodox mix of sounds open to endless interpretation. There’s a sense of understatement woven into his work, appearing when you least expect it. At times, he flirts with elements of pop music, but always returns gracefully to the essential pulse of techno and house ground...

lux amor, a trio of musicians from Bremen, Germany, dive fearlessly into the slower spectrum of rhythm. Their track unfolds like a magician’s act sounds appear from nowhere, revealed suddenly as if pulled from thin air. There’s something enchanted about their music: a blend of minimalism and mystery that gives it quiet power. Even through a long, epic break, they sustain tension and elegance, show...

data.data, the new collaborative project by Stefan Hauke and Michel Dieling, known from Tagmond, introduce themselves with “patch me if you can”. The track feels like a spontaneous dialogue part jam session, part conversation between two minds. It’s playful, sometimes even a little nerdy, yet filled with moments of unexpected beauty. Its rhythmic interplay and machine-like pulse capture that rare,...

MAQ, also known as Ilya Truskovsky, is a Los Angeles based music producer and film composer whose career has long bridged the cinematic and electronic worlds. Having co-founded Deja Vu Records in 2002, he has been making electronic music ever since, releasing two award-winning albums along the way. For many years, he devoted himself to the world of film, collaborating with Hollywood giants such as...

Off Pop belongs to the first generation of Traum artists, and we were thrilled when, after more than fifteen years of silence, he reached out again two years ago. His new piece “Like The Morning Sun” mirrors the simplicity and imaginative spirit of his early work for the label minimalistic yet expansive, and infused with the sensibility of a new techno generation seeking to move beyond established...

Danjel Esperanza returns after a solo EP on our label and several contributions to Tour De Traum, this time with a surprisingly dreamy work titled “Wasserkringel”. It drifts toward the cinematic, delicate, emotional, and built around a sense of slow, shimmering motion. 


Chrisik, the Austrian producer, returns to Tour De Traum with another masterfully crafted production. His music often revolves around a dreamlike, at times wistful atmosphere. A mood that here finds its counterpoint in a powerful, driving beat. This contrast gives the track a physical presence, carrying its emotional core beyond introspection and onto the dancefloor, where it unfolds with both pre...

Andy Moon, the tireless full blooded musician, continues his sonic explorations in his studio, surrounded by the hum of machines and guided by a constant search for the perfect balance, the finest possible combination that defines what he considers the essence of sound. His track “Clouds And Concrete” gathers together all of his acoustic research: unspectacular in form yet deeply concentrated, ref...

With “Jazz Flight” Cockpitcrew deliver a lounge inspired piece that lifts fragments and motifs from their own earlier works, setting them into entirely new contexts. Listeners familiar with their past productions will discover subtle, hidden references woven through the music, while for everyone else, it unfolds as something completely fresh and self-contained. 


Our man from Buenos Aires, flayman, continues to fly the flag for the city that once marked the beginning of Traum Schallplatten’s South American connection. Representing a young Argentine generation that looks both forward and back, he brings this duality into his music carrying traces of the past into the present. His latest track, “What The Brain Tells Me To The Heart” captures that spirit perf...

Pavel Kosmonaut returns to Traum Schallplatten with his new track “Astroboy”. The piece stands apart from his earlier contributions to Tour De Traum light, buoyant, and full of playful motion. As it unfolds, the track twists inward, morphing its textures into something almost surreal before settling back into the magnetic gravity of techno.

Patrick Muschiol returns to the label with a piece that celebrates classic melodic techno. “L like Love” pulses with playful energy, sometimes quirky, sometimes exuberant, yet carefully balanced. The track never leans on nostalgia; instead, it transforms familiar motifs into something fresh and positive, resonating fully in the present moment. 


Hughes Giboulay also rejoins the series, offering a piece that embodies the very idea of the Elektroniker. Diverse influences collide and intertwine as if guided by an invisible hand, forming a current of sound that is both heterogeneous in its details and beautifully unified in its overall flow. 


Ascet contributes “Borderline Perception” a track anchored in a steady walking bass and the logic of electronic flow. Here, sounds seem to fall from the sky loose, spontaneous, yet perfectly placed. Each fragment finds its way into the structure by chance or intuition, forming an associative chain that feels both accidental and precise. 


Lucas Solowsky makes his debut on Traum with an ambient electronic piece that approaches the listener gradually, shifting course with each passage. The track carries a strong sense of slow motion as if viewed through a magnifying glass, where subtle changes in melody and texture create a stream that feels unpredictable yet always finds its path. Its quiet vitality and freshness make it a captivati...

breakbizz, also known as Helge Hoffmann, carries a remarkable backstory. Once recognized in Berlin’s streets for his graffiti on S-Bahn trains, his path eventually turned from visual rebellion to sonic creation. His music channels that same restless energy, driving rhythms, flowing delays, and sharp, interlocking synth lines. His track “Accident & Error” for Traum Schallplatten captures a sense of...

Frasseck & Freitag, known for their solo EPs and many Tour De Traum contributions, return with one of their most energetic works yet. “Waste What Is Left” is high octane and rhythmically relentless. A seamless, forward driving dance of determination. It’s pure kinetic energy, a celebration of movement itself. No peace for the wicked. 


With “Chocolate90” Perceptron takes us back to the simplicity and raw charm of the 1990s. A decade defined by its innocence and directness. The track embraces that clarity: unpretentious, beautifully plain, and instantly communicative.

QuiQu, who appeared on Tour De Traum many years ago, return with “New Hope”. For much of its length, the track unfolds as a minimalist rhythmic piece, echoing the computer-generated timbres of the 1980s. Only in its final third does it open into a wild techno opus. A thrilling transformation that rewards patience with release.

No Tour De Traum would be complete without RAUB! The Dutch duo represented this time by Kas Arts and Roland Buurmann continue their tradition of crafting enchanting electronic music inspired by the visionary sound of 1990s British duos like B12 and The Black Dog. Yet they carry that aesthetic lightly into the present, making it entirely their own. Each contribution feels like a gift to the series...

Haunami, the Japanese producer, returns to Tour De Traum with an ambient piece that evolves through a live, drum-like rhythmic framework. The sounds meet, mingle, and drift apart again, creating a shifting, abstract universe, fluid and alive, filled with fleeting connections and dissolving contours.

Belgian duo Tweaken, once known for their hard-edged techno, have long been exploring the melodic side of the spectrum. With “The Gathering” they step fully into the Traum universe, tunneling through layers of sound and texture. The track feels like a musical excavation unearthing fragments from different worlds and weaving them into a journey through time.

Uccelli resurrects the minimalism and emotional clarity of the 1990s with “Resplendent”. Its simplicity is striking, its emotional depth immediate. There’s a directness here a purity of intent that speaks to every old school heart.

French producer Andy Meyer has lived through all the classic stages that shape an artist first as a club goer, then as a DJ, and eventually, after 2010, as a producer. Known primarily for his harder edged techno, he reveals here a more nuanced side, one that reaches beyond genre boundaries, blending intensity with emotional sensitivity. French producer Andy Meyer unfolds “Persephone”, a track that...
