KARAAL is the Italian duo of Giuliano Albanese and Vincenzo Cardinale, two producers with decades of experience in the electronic underground. Giuliano began his career as a DJ in the early 2000s, performing at iconic Ibiza venues such as Café del Mar and Pacha, while Vincenzo classically trained as a pianist with roots in jazz gravitated toward electronic experimentation early on. His tracks have been featured on compilations by M2o, a legendary Italian radio station known for shaping electronic music culture.
Now releasing their debut EP on Traum, KARAAL present three tracks that move between hypnotic techno, euphoric club energy and cinematic electronica. 
The title track ”Vision“ opens the EP with a subtle melodic flow that initially echoes the minimal elegance of early Luciano (Cadenza), before evolving into a hybrid of emotional depth and collective euphoria something we haven’t heard in this particular intensity since Ron Flatter`s ”Mantequilla“ or Jønicht. Sweeping in its emotional scope yet carried by an effortless momentum, “Vision” doesn’t dictate the dancefloor it flows with it, merging dancer and track into one.

It’s followed by “Space” a shimmering, disco-infused house miniature like a futuristic operetta reimagined for the club.

Closing the EP is “Aquarium” a powerful and atmospheric electronica track. Built on broken beats and layered vocal fragments, it conjures an almost cinematic emotional weight, closing the release with depth and gravity.

The landscapes of Orlan 19 resembled the dream of a mad cartographer: cliffs were floating above the surface, horizons were bending and vanishing into infinity, and energy vortices were flaring up beneath their feet in psychedelic patterns. The familiar laws of physics didn’t apply here — gravity shifted chaotically, and time flew with unpredictable intensity. As Spacelunch, absorbed in thought, stroked the ground which distorted like a mirage under his touch, Cat’s grumbling echoed simultaneously from the past and future:

— Doc, don’t you think we’re just walking in circles?
— No wonder. That’s how inverse modelling works. Every action we take reshapes the surrounding space.
— Can you explain it in simpler terms? There’s only one genius here.
— Ever heard of the Philadelphia Experiment?
— Of course! You know how much I love sushi rolls!
— Well, I set myself up for this predicament... Back in my university days, we experimented with magnetic fields trying to program them by thought. You get where I’m going, don’t you? The planet is reacting to our intentions. So, focus on visualizing the portal.

The confusion on Cat’s face gave way to a mask of detachment. Clusters of matter began to tremble pulling the threads of reality to their breaking point before finally forming a vortex. Having devoured as much as it could, the vortex snapped shut with a loud pop and dissolved in a blinding flash.

As the scene began to take shape, silhouettes emerged under the soft glow of a desk lamp, evoking an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. A worn desk and a small bed stood by the wall adorned with faded photographs, while the floor let out a gentle creak underfoot. The clearer the interior came to be, the more paralyzing the realization, and the more elusive the explanation for what had happened became.

— Holy...! Cat, are we looking at the same thing? 
— Yeah, but... This can’t be real.

Spacelunch slowly approached the window and froze still. A single thought raced through his mind: “The only force strong enough to pull me this far... was love.”
