About the album: 

With "Closer", PNFA — the long-running electronic music project of German producer and composer Wolfram Gruss — presents a deeply emotional, sonically rich dance album that manages to balance physical intensity with lyrical introspection. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of techno, house, and UK garage, "Closer" reaches far beyond the dancefloor. It is a record about memory, longing, and the fragile beauty of connection.

Though every track is anchored in powerful grooves and basslines, there’s an unmistakable emotional core that permeates the album. Gruss masterfully weaves in cinematic melodies, textured atmospheres, and subtle harmonic shifts that suggest stories without words. These aren’t just tracks built for movement — they are meditations on lost love, on moments that once burned brightly and have since faded, on the kind of nostalgia that hits hardest when the night is at its peak.

From pulsating, club-ready cuts to more reflective, slow-building compositions, "Closer" flows like a carefully curated journey. Each track stands strong on its own, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that invites listeners to go inward, even as their bodies respond to the rhythm. It’s this tension — between momentum and stillness, between euphoria and melancholy — that defines the emotional terrain of the album.

Wolfram Gruss has long held a reputation for thought-provoking electronic music, and "Closer" continues this trajectory with remarkable depth and attention to detail. Every sound feels deliberate yet organic, each percussive element finely tuned, each melodic layer carefully placed. There’s an intimacy to the production that makes the album feel personal, even vulnerable, despite its club foundations.

"Closer" is not just an album to dance to — it’s one to feel deeply. It’s about closing the distance between past and present, between sound and story, between artist and listener. It asks you to move, but also to remember. It pulses with life, yet leaves space for silence. Above all, it is an invitation: to come closer, to feel more, and to lose yourself — not just in the music, but in everything it brings to the surface.

Vervemix 015: Strange Interactions

Test subject 1.18 @waspfm observes the ebb and flow of an outlandish and highly complex ecosystem of sound from "distorted biospheres" and "alien landscapes". Traversing through this environment, one becomes immersed within the sonic layers of a cohesive living and breathing biological community. Cyclical tension and angst among organisms pave the way for divine resolve and harmony, the balance becomes disrupted and the cycle restarts. Truly an incredible journey.

"Field recordings or natural soundscapes are, like noise, often unfocused, fragmented and chaotic. This can be gentle and abrasive all within the same breath. A good recording of, say, a meadow will include thousands of layers of living organisms. Even a shallow recording will still pick up larger animals, insects and most commonly birds which are often the focal point. Being given an image of an environment to build around changed my usual process a lot. My image contained an alien landscape complete with otherworldly sky, clouds and green distorted biospheres. This meant that the use of field samples, mostly collected from my immediate environment, would not create the landscape depicted, as they concerned the home and known environments. I changed up the way I look for music instead focusing on different animals I could envision living in this environment. I began researching various song birds that became extinct before archiving could note down their sound. Their bone structure, beak shape and lung capacity all meticulously evolved to create a sound that no longer exists. Archiving is such an important part of recording environments especially as these environments get smaller and quieter with the expansion of cities. Almost every environmental element of this mix, from the rustling of insects to the harsh call of birds is built on hardware. I hope the listener can travel here too." - NuMartha's thought process behind her Manifestation mix.
