The Masquerade (This is a quarantine EP5)

Golden Horizon is a journey through emotional landscapes, blending lush analog synths, textured rhythms, and cinematic soundscapes. Each track is crafted with intention — to evoke reflection, movement, and release. Rooted in melodic techno and electronic expression, this album captures the contrast between light and shadow, stillness and drive. Inspired by the spaces between silence and sound, Golden Horizon is not just music — it’s an atmosphere.

These walls have made us the beings we are. 
They have listened and echoed, 
our words, our creed, our hate. 
These walls have tied down the souls of us; 
they made us insane, 
hysterics, in observing defenceless, 
uncredulous that there was not, 
any reaction.
We can only halt us, 
after having used up our nails, 
over these walls now rough because of our shouts, our burned hopes,
 by our passions damned; by our minds, dinned.
None could ever help us, because as slaves we feel and now we are, 
of these cursed walls and of these walls damned that, 
however
still give a sense, to our cold life.

My label Stockholm LTD turned 15 recently, so I decided it was time for a little celebration. I'm happy and grateful for the past, and I can’t wait to see what will happen next. Here's how it all started:

Södermalm, Stockholm 1999. The capacity of the store was probably less than 20. The cold and industrial-tinged interior featured ash grey walls, rust-free steel accents, and a magnificently elevated cashier desk. The ceiling was an impressive 3.5 meters with two massive speakers hanging above the cashier. Shelves and bins stocked with vinyl, tapes, and magazines covered the walls. In the storefront, you would find the listening stations with turntables that sit nicely inside their desks. While you listened to the week’s new releases, you’d be treated to a view of the blooming streets of Södermalm as people rushed by. There was a small sign with operating hours in the window which also said “TECHNO / ELECTRO. Welcome to Illegal Stockholm!”

Illegal Stockholm was founded by Tobias Von Hofsten and myself in late 1998. It became our home, blood, sweat, and tears for a good 4-5 years. I was only 18 years old at the time and still in school when we opened its doors. I couldn’t think of anything cooler or more fun than hanging out, talking and listening to music all day and night. After we closed the shop at night. We would hang in the ‘office’ which was the store’s back room. I forged life life-long friendships and gave birth to the idea of Stockholm LTD. I wanted to show people a slightly different side of our scene. The original idea was to keep the recording artist secret with no names announced on the release, but the idea fell flat as people figured it out the day of our first release. Since then, the concept of the label has changed a few times but the core idea and desire remains the same: releasing timeless electronic music.

Stockholm LTD has stood the test of time, it’s not that many labels that stay current for that long. This is only possible with the help of all the artists I’ve been working with over the years. To say I am extremely grateful is an understatement!

With this in mind, let’s celebrate the label’s 15th anniversary with a 5 part release! 15Y contains remixes by some of my favorite artists at the moment. They have all picked and reworked something from my part of the label’s back catalog. The series will stretch out over a set of 5 vinyl singles with a special anniversary sleeve and a beautiful engraving made by graphic designer Håkan Ullberg

D2 - The Marlton (Art Alfie Remix) - Sthlm LTD 15Y-4

Artist: Tripeo
Title: Second Trip
Catalogue number: TRIP2
Releasedate: 28th of january 2013
Format: 12” vinyl only!
File under: Techno
Tracklist: 
A1: Untitled #3
B1: Untitled #4

Tripeo is embarking on his Second Trip. Untitled #3 dives deep into the darkest realms of dub techno. Not the warm-up or afterhour kind of dub, but peaktime hypnotism made for dark, sweaty basements. Untitled #4 sees him exploring off beat territories. It’s industrial, blistering groove is layered with washes of arps and strings to create contrast and warmth.

This series is VINYL ONLY, that really means no digital release.

DJ FEEDBACK

Ben Sims - "Yep, another solid 12'', untitled 3 is the cut i'll be dropping but both are quality. Cheers!"

Mark Broom - "A side is nice & uplifting with the string sequence & makes a nice first track of the set vibes, B side is a cool offbeat melodic number as well. all round uplifting vibes.. looks like this project is gonna be interestingJ"

Inigo Kennedy - "Been enjoying the second track the most and will probably use it in an upcoming podcast mix. All the best to Darko!"

Gerd - "Yeah you know i like this! Been playing it for a while now and it is a huge follow up to tripeo 1. TRIP03 is the one for me here. Great sounds and production again. Well done!”

Truss - "Sorry for the late reply, just catching up on my emails now after a Xmas break from the studio. #4 is wicked…LOVE IT!! Big support from me on that one! Thanks loads for sending."

Norman Nodge - "Yet more quality from Darko's alter ego. Both sound good but its #03 thats gonna get my plays. Great work!"

Samuli Kemppi - "Really like it! Especially #3. Will play for sure on radio and on gigs. Another solid one from Darko. Thank you for this!"

Brendon Moeller - "For me, this is not as instant as Trip 1. However, #4 is sounding pretty groovy. Definitely the strongest of the two tracks for me."  

Par Grindvik - "A new year approaching and a new tripeo to add to the crate J haven't got a chance to try it out yet but i'm feeling them both. i'm the type of guy that like a balance between "play out" tracks and things that is more the listening vain. great job, keep em coming!"

Cari Lekebusch - "Good stuff!!! I will play the --- Tripeo - Untitled #3 – TRIP2 --- ASAP!!! Sounds great!! J"

KiNK - "I’m a big fan of everything that Darko does, but the first Tripeo really impressed me. I’m happy to say that the second release is even more interesting! Tunes like these make me think I have to incorporate other people’s music in my live sets, I don’t dj that often and the good music has to be played out. I love both tracks, #4 is the winner for me:) I will try it out at the new year’s eve J"

Dimi Angelis - "YES YES YES!! Love both tracks!! Will play them both but the off beat is my favourite i think. 300% support! J"

Shifted - "Yeah, once again this is a great record.. Played the a side out last weekend.. Looking forward to seeing how this project develops." 

Funk D'Void - "Loved them both, sounding incredible to be honest, props to Darko for pressing such huge techno soundscapes to vinyl."

Tommy Four Seven - "Great follow up to Trip 1 and another sure player for me! Nice to the see the broken vibe on the flip too. Full support of course!"

Len Faki - "Untitled #3 is really good.. has a great mood to it! Looking forward to testing this out on a system."

Arnaud Rebotini is a singer, songwriter, producer and remixer, he has become one of the most emblematic figures in electronic music today, adept at straddling genres, both avant-garde and timeless, and bringing them together. 
For example, his Zend Avesta project (Organique, Universal 2000) married electronic music with a chamber orchestra. 
With his analogue synthesisers, he became a central figure on the scene of new international techno, marking renewed enthusiasm for the use of electronic instruments rather than just computers. His live shows have always been unanimously celebrated (Music Components, Citizen 2008, Someone Give Me Religion, K7 - 2010) and his remixes for pour Depeche Mode, David Guetta, Rammstein, The Rapture, Bloc Party, Acid Washed and Tristesse Contemporaine are as indicative of his sets at the biggest clubs and festivals (playing live or mixing) as his collaboration with the highbrow Groupe de Recherches Musicales, especially with Christian Zanési for their Frontières project.
