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, refined, and artistic in precisely the way we have come to expect from him.

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 precision and scale.

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.

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 boundaries.

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 Aaron Zigman and Christopher Young. In 2022, he returned to his electronic roots, bringing with him the depth and precision of a seasoned composer.

For Traum Schallplatten, he contributes “Beyond The Veil” a track that opens a window into his new electronic vision. It fuses cinematic passages with the pure timbre of synthesizers and the pulse of techno. The result is a composition in which contrasting elements converge naturally into one coherent whole, a reflection of his years of shaping emotion and atmosphere for the screen.

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, human spark that emerges when improvisation meets precision.

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, showing how much can be achieved with very little.

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 grounded, intuitive, and sincere.

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 only shimmering traces of what once was.

Lackluster, with whom we’ve released a solo EP before, contributes a track that carries Sueno Latino in its DNA, light and dramatic at once, shimmering with that timeless, dreamlike quality.
