"Jupiter" brings a sense of gravitational pull and expansive sound. Its deep, layered textures and slow-burning energy mirror the massive presence of the planet it’s named after. Equal parts powerful and contemplative, the track captures the duality of space: overwhelming scale and serene beauty.

Inspired by the majestic constellation, "Orion" pulses with forward motion and celestial energy. Bright melodic fragments float over a steady rhythmic backbone, painting a night sky full of direction and mystery. It's a track that invites movement, both outward and inward.

The title track "Cosmico" is an anthem to the infinite, a deep, hypnotic journey that gradually opens into vast, weightless atmospheres. It evokes the feeling of drifting beyond the physical, where sound becomes a vessel for introspection and exploration. As the title track, it encapsulates the essence of the EP: cosmic travel grounded in emotional depth.

Johannes Motschmann combines classical compositional craft with a distinctive electronic voice. His work spans ambient soundscapes, experimental live electronics, and AI-assisted composition (referring only to AION2 written with the Software he had developed himself at German national radio station SWR), always shaped by his background in piano and contemporary music.

Alongside his orchestral and chamber works, Motschmann has released several acclaimed electronic albums that highlight this unique fusion:

• Electric Fields (2016) – electro-acoustic landscapes blending analog synths and piano

• Lifestream (2019) – handcrafted electronica performed without loops or samples

• AION 2 (2022) – an exploration of artificial intelligence as a co-composer

His upcoming solo EP on Traum continues this trajectory, putting the focus firmly on his electronic side while carrying forward his deep compositional sensibility.

With his “Opacity Code” release, Johannes Motchmann explores the interplay between clarity and obscurity in sound. By layering acoustic and electronic elements like an orchestra, he creates textures where transparency and masking coexist, leading to both intentional and accidental new soundscapes.

Quote from Johannes Motschmann:

„Lately I’ve been working a lot with acoustic instruments and somehow I always have a naturalistic and also a bit retrospective sound in mind for the electronic music I make. I always mix all kinds of synths until I get a mixed sound similar to an orchestra, where you don’t always know immediately which instruments are involved when you first hear it. Just as in painting where you get many new colors by mixing the basic colors, I also proceed in arranging and mixing new tracks. Many factors determine whether an element becomes audible at all: the volume, the frequencies, the environment, everything influences each other.

So when I try to make everything transparent and make the sounds shine, there is sometimes the exact opposite effect of too many layers masking each other. It can be annoying sometimes but as a side effect this often results in new soundscapes, some of which were perhaps not even planned. While working on “Opacity Code”, I was really looking for moments like this, so that in addition to passages of complete clarity, there are also episodes of only mysterious impression, so that you can feel how behind all the soundscapes there are still other levels that you can gradually track down.“

At Traum Schallplatten, we have always been dedicated to discovering forward thinking artists whose music expands the boundaries of electronic sound. With a careful curation of talents who share our vision for innovative, emotionally resonant music, we are proud to present Wukah’s „Spiralformig“ EP.

Hailing from Cork, Ireland, Gavin (aka Wukah) is an educator of young, eager minds by day, and a keen raver by night.

Classically trained in piano and with a background in short film scoring, his music takes influences from cinematic music, and he likes to incorporate film music samples and ideas into the progressive/melodic house format to make music which is deep, melodic, and very emotive and occasionally emotionally overwhelming!

For his new „Spiralformig“ EP, Wukah has decided to fuse his usual progressive, melodic sound with a slightly more left-field, euro-electronic sensibility in his sound design, and is also bringing in a lot of personal story into the production. The story that runs through the 3 tracks speaks to a succession of personal challenges faced at a crucial turning point. For instance, the spiraling synth arps in the breakdown of the titular track „Spiralformig“ speak to a life spiralling out of control, and being left in an unresolved emotional state. The progressive movement and spiraling synths of „Suchen“ speak to the sense of searching for a new identity as a person in the wake of dramatic changes in life. The slow pace of „Slow Down“ followed by a select few moments of dramatic rises followed by sudden edits into quiet speak to the feeling of escalating desperation to resolve emotional issues instantly, but accepting the reality of having to slow down and to allow processing to take its time.

Wukah has releases on multiple underground labels, and is slowly building a name for himself in the London progressive house raving scene, gaining a lot of interest from significant labels, so is one to watch.
