M_Rec Ltd 24 - Max_M - Dissertation

A - Exceeding Brightness
B1 - Architectural Lie
B2 - Scape Sequences

Release date: March 2015 (Vinyl)

OVERVIEW:
After a series of prized splits and collaborations, M_REC LTD's own Max_M returns with 'Dissertation', his latest fully-fleshed solo effort.

'The Kidnapper Bell' was his last EP for M_REC LTD. The avid vinyl lover and collector has since put his "maximalist" values to work sharing wax with the likes of Fabrizio Lapiana of Attic Music, as well as with newcomers Wrong Assessment. Not one to rush things, 'Dissertation' then comes at a peak time for Max_M and M_REC LTD, representing the culmination of a ceaseless dedication to the type of stolid, hypnotic brand of techno intrinsic to both chief and label.

"Exceeding Brightness" governs the A-side with blue blips set to a progressive chugging pace, enveloped in a trademark background of fuzzy mechanical whirrs. "Architectural Lie" then opens up the B-side with a loop of warm chords that roll into a tumult of diffused hats and jangled melodies. "Scape Sequences" concludes in a subaqueous fashion; viscous, heady and stupefying.

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.

Hello hot world,

Akim Kharbeche was a member of the now-famous Château Perché festival as stage manager and artistic director, founder of the Perchépolis label and instigator of the Totem Rituel collective, which invites artists from the underground techno scene to perform at the Sonoka festival. 
The artist has also been an undeniably talented DJ for nearly 15 years, and here he delivers a fresh, sunny summer musical tale, tinged with a thousand influences from dub, deep, tribal, half-time, dnb and breakbeat.

Warmly invite Artist Mila Stern

Artist bio:
Mila Stern’s far over a decade-long career as a DJ and producer
has taken her from squat parties in Halle (eastern Germany), where
she first learned her craft, through the pulsing motley of Tel Aviv, to
her adopted home of Berlin and the epicenter of electronic club
culture. Her calm, commanding skill as a selector rapidly made her
a sought-after artist, with regular appearances at premier festivals
like Fusion, Nation of Gondwana, and Garbicz, and residencies at
Berlin’s legendary Kater Club and Station Endlos in Halle. Since
then, she’s transcended the boundaries of the Berlin underground,
bringing her signature style to the international circuit from Mexico
to Kazakhstan.

Mila delivers a groove-heavy aesthetic that has recently shifted
toward deeper, more focused energies — drawing on restrained
propulsion, textured sound design, and subtly evolving rhythms. Her
selections now balance minimalism and intensity, rooted in the
hypnotic but never stuck in genre constraints. What sets her apart is
a willingness to embrace unorthodox sonic spaces, explore the
beauty in harshness and dissonance, and embed arresting
moments in robust, rolling substructures. From her early days,
Mila’s sound has been shaped by a sense of counterculture and the
urge to break normative boundaries. Her DJ sets encapsulate a
vision of rave culture as expressive, eclectic, and non-judgmental.
She continues to draw on risqué, narrative-driven tracks and boldly
carves out new territory without compromise — even as the context
around her evolves.

As a DJ, producer, event organizer, former radio host, and label co-
founder, she pushes the envelope while rejecting genre dogma. In
2025, Mila co-founded the label MiZi MuZiK with long-time friend
and collaborator Mira—a platform shaped by their shared values of
autonomy and artistic integrity. While the label and Mila’s current
musical direction follow distinct paths, both are rooted in a deep
belief in sound that speaks for itself. Few artists balance deep floor
energy with such artistic clarity. Mila Stern continues to evolve her
sound while remaining grounded in a rave ethos that challenges
paradigms and makes space for what lies ahead.

mercyTechno - Mila Stern "Berlin"

Guatemalan producer Jorge Galindo, in collaboration with Darío, releases his new single "4 Grados," a proposal that breaks with the usual stereotypes of both artists and offers a fresh vision.

With this piece, born on a balcony in Guatemala's iconic Zone 4, the artists consolidate yet another collaboration that reflects exploration, spontaneity, and an innovative twist on their previous productions. "4 Grados" is presented as a sonic journey that connects the urban with the experimental.

Cocoon Recordings has been founded in the year 2000 as a part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. Sven Väth has initiated Cocoon Recordings in order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music. The label philosophy is as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs to release their music without depending on Major Label structures. The releases can mainly be assigned to the genres Techno and House.

Cocoon Recordings as a label and Sven Väth as an artist stand for the use of vinyl as sound carrier, also in the future. Admittedly, the Digital Division of Cocoon Recordings has also been set up in 2008 and the numbers of downloads are indeed enjoyable. However, the label's focus is on vinyl, now and in the future. In order to complete the range of services that Cocoon Recordings offers, the publishing company Cocoon Publishing was founded in 2010.
