"Zzzeitgeist crashing through ages and societies. In eternal waves and circular movements. What once was truth, becomes new questions. And vice versa. You know, like... ⁠"

Alec Troniq lands on Platypus for the first time with "You Know Like", delivering two boundary-pushing originals alongside a raw and groovy remix by label boss Reginald.

"You Know Like 25" reimagines his 2017 classic for the fast-paced era of 2025—an electrified fusion of trance and tech, pulsing with hypnotic acid riffs and nostalgic rave energy, yet shaped by a forward-thinking sonic edge.

Reginald’s Remix of "You Know Like 17" strips things down to a raw, lo-fi groove—crunchy, dusted textures meet an irresistible swing, turning the original into a gritty, underground roller. The original "You Know Like 17" rounds out the EP with its intricate sound design and heavy, mind-bending drive.

A bold, club-ready package from two of electronic music’s most innovative minds.

Good Morning Children

"The Chain" was originally induced by Old Man Trouble and then impulsively got the blues by Alec Troniq. It has a special place in their hearts and continues Alec's series of crossover-collaborations in 2014. 

--- Aus Alec Troniqs @trndmusik Interview über die Zusammenarbeit mit @oldmantrouble : --- 
"Holger hat schon in den 1980ern mit einer Punkband auf der hamburger Hafenstraße gebasst, als ich noch mit der Rassel gespielt hab. Heute ist er hauptsächlich als DJ aktiv, hat aber die verschiedensten Musikstile im Blut. Solche Crossovers liebe ich ja. Vor Jahren hab ich auf einem seiner Events gespielt und da wir uns gleich sympathisch waren, sind wir immer in Kontakt geblieben. Jedenfalls hat Holger mir diese Ideenskizee geschickt und ich wollte mich unbedingt dran vergehen. Das zog sich über zwei Jahre hin und hat viele Wendungen genommen. Nun sind wir überglücklich mit unserem Baby."

You Know Like 17 (Reginald Extended RMX)

You Know Like 17 (Extended)

Zzzeitgeist crashing through ages and societies. In eternal waves and circular movements. What once was truth, becomes new questions. And vice versa. 

Inside me there's swinging an artistic love-hate-pendulum between raw cheesiness and forward-(over)-thinking. Herewith it's vibing to the corny side, with thrills from past decades... 

This "You Know Like 25" has a serious older brother, "You Know Like 17", who got a badass treatment in form of a dirty REGINALD Remix. On his splendid label PLATYPUS.

"Straight outta Dresden / Germany we're proud to present a new release crafted by Mr. Alec Troniq, a talented young producer that has been making some waves over the course of the past decade with releases on labels Broque, Microtonal or his very own Ipoly Music-imprint.

On Formatik Records he comes up with the exceptional Knock Knock Knock Knock - a darker, slightly shuffled TechHouse workout for pumping late night sessions that's made to move some serious booty with a heavyweight attitude, masterly crafted filter works and a massive vocal breakdown one will never ever forget.

Furthermore Fein Mulm caters another take on Alec Troniqs trademark shuffle sound in which chuntering basslines, clunky cowbells and raw, multilayered, Jazz-influenced melodies meet to provide maximum dancefloor functionality for nervously hyped crowds. Do not call this Minimal!"

Old Tortures

"Now I don’t need a hundred-inch television
with a hundred-twenty channels of sports.
And I don’t need a thirty-two ounce steak,
and I sure don’t need it served by a girl in shorts.
I don’t need some pretty twenty-something trophy
so the other guys can see that I’m a genuine stud.
And I don’t need a forty-eight-room mansion
on the Cape to compensate for our pedestrian blood.
I don’t need a chain of radio stations
to influence the answers to my own opinion poll….
I just need confirmation
there’s a little bit of poetry in my soul.

Now I don’t need much more than I’ve got.
My neighbor doesn’t own a single thing I covet.
I don’t want much more than a lot.
I’d rather have better (and a lot less of it).


Now I don’t need to tell a roomful of people
that my ‘97 Jaguar is an orgasm on wheels.
And I don’t need to drop in on some daytime talk show
just to have the world imagine how my perfect nose job feels.
I don’t need to buy anyone’s affection
and I sure don’t need to marry some pathetic millionaire.
And I don’t need a twenty-four hour erection
and I sure don’t need to go to bed with anyone who’d care.
I don’t need another course of medication;
these demons won’t submit to pharmaceutical control….
I just need confirmation
there’s a little bit of poetry left in my soul.

Now I don’t need much more than I’ve got.
My neighbor doesn’t own a single thing I covet.
I don’t want much more than a lot.
I’d rather have better (and a lot less of it).


I don’t need to be a media sensation
or the latest heir apparent to the king of rock and roll….
I just need confirmation
there’s a little bit of poetry in my soul."
