[PREMIERE] | Confusion - Lift [GZR001]

◘ Grauzone Fundraiser by Various Artists

Artist: Confusion 
Track: Lift 
Label: Grauzone Records
Genre: Electronic
Style: Techno
Cat No: GZR001
Date release: 21.04
Format: Digital 

After several events at the southern part of germany the grauzone imprint now presents a 20-track
compilation - a selection of highly functional dancefloor tracks from friends around the globe, curated
by the Grauzone collective. All proceeds will be donated to a relief organization that cares for the
victims of the devastating earthquake disaster that took place in turkey and syria.
More than a month after the devastating earthquakes from February 6 in southern Turkey and
northwestern Syria, the plight of the people remains acute. Due to the war, the disaster has further
exacerbated the already dramatic situation in Idlib and Aleppo. A total of 180,000 people were forced
to leave their shelters. In southern Turkey, more than 3 million people had been forced to leave their
homes by early March. Many of the displaced still have no shelter. Both regions had previously
housed millions of Syrian refugees who were already living in precarious conditions.
We have set a minimum donation of 20€, but we would really appreciate any amount above that.
All funds will be donated to: https://www.aerzte-ohne-grenzen.de
This compilation would not be possible without all the artists who contributed their tracks, and we are
grateful to everyone who purchased it.

Releaseinformation:
As a thank you to our beloved community that showed us nothing but support and ap- preciation over the last year, Schimmer Records is releasing a compilation of 27 tracks by our residents and invited artists.

Just as we did last year, we want to use our reach to address the more serious issues the global community faces today and help the less fortunate. Especially the most vulnerable of us, children can suffer under the consequences of the action of others: Abuse, a lack of access to education and misplacement become rampant in times of war and conflict.

Thus, this year we feel the proceeds raised from our Christmas album, which is 15 Euro for the whole album, are best placed with “Save The Children“. After the release is funded 100% of our earnings will go towards the goal of helping children in need.

We wish you a very happy Christmas, a joyful time with the people dearest to you and a happy new year. See you in 2024!

We hope you like our compilation! Play it loud!

Timeless and uncomprimising techno soundscapes. Part of the RASEREI collective with homebase at Disco Zwei in Mannheim, Germany.

Confusion is a Heidelberg-based producer and resident DJ of the Raserei collective. His dancefloor-oriented sound is characterized by highly effective rhythms, minimalist synths, and trippy pads or textures that traverse various tempos and subgenres, maintaining a consistent energy level. Drawing inspiration from his roots as a drummer and the evolving landscape of techno over the decades, Confusion also finds creative influence in his appreciation for ambient soundscapes, IDM, and other experimental electronic genres. 

Since 2017, he has been shaping the regional techno scene in Mannheim and its surroundings. Co-hosting a visionary event series at Disco Zwei, he has been instrumental in bringing well-respected bookings to the forefront.

In recent years, his focus has expanded to crafting stripped-down yet minimalistic techno tools. Alongside numerous self-releases, remixes, and various artist appearances on labels like Schimmer Records, Duplicity, and SOPTIK, he has earned recognition with releases on well-respected platforms such as the Berlin-based SYXT, PRX Records, and Adapter. Taking the next ambitious step, he and his collective mates decided to launch their own label in June 2022. Confusion's music has garnered support from established artists including DVS1, Luke Slater, Setaoc Mass, Rødhåd, Rene Wise, Philippa Pacho, Marrøn, Blue Hour, and Lea Occhi, to name a few. These tracks have found their way into the sets of these artists at renowned venues like Berghain, KHIDI, Bassiani, and Radion.
