"Over the last few months, I've been busy looking through my old PC's hard drive, saving and cataloging all the projects from the old days. In the process, some of my very early Makina works have come to light. Back then, at the age of 15 or 16, I dreamed of having my own Makina album, but it never came out in this form. After many years of holding back and forgetting, I am now sharing this album with you. The tracks are left as they were back then and only now mastered by myself. These 27 tracks represent youthful recklessness and the need to be as edgy as possible, childlike innocence and complete exaggeration without the limitations of an adult mind that only compares itself to other adults."

[DB013] Makinarium - Pink Skies Reprise

Almost forgotten relics rescued and prepared for preservation. The beginnings of the Lunartracer Project. Recorded in northern germany from 2014 - 2015.

Written and produced by Leopold Rothhardt

[DB014] Lunartracer - The Legacy

Euphonious trance music caresses your ears, while sitting on the backseat of your parents' car heading off to the seaside for a formative summer holiday. There's nothing to worry about. Nothing to overthink. No decisions to make.

Lunartracer - Euphony Base

Lunartracer - Euphony '95

In honor of the original I made this faster horsepower version. Thanks to Katakana for this track <3

Katakana - Tokyo (Kvadral Edit)(Free Download)

Take me back to an untroubled era... For me as a child of the 90s my consciousness and my memories started around 2001 when I was in preschool and everything felt easy and safe. 20 years later this exploration of the shallow water of life only feels like a dream I dreamt a long time ago and sometimes I would like to go back again and be safe again. I know I won't be able to travel back in time, but I am able to  transform my desire, anger and fear into this music enveloped in the style of the early 2000s spanish Makina and Hardcore tracks released on famous labels like Bit Music and UpTempo. This is fast overloaded rave music produced with almost infantile exaggarations and no borders of creativity in a surrounding were everything is allowed.

Makinarium - Return to 2001

Lyrics:

12049 Ja!
12049 Ja!

Stehst vor den Lines
Und ich zieh Leine
Wir sind zu zweit
Doch ich alleine
Dies Herz ist meins
Doch ich will seines
Bist kalt wie Eis
Doch ich bin deines

Ich zieh ne Line
Und wir verzweifeln
Es ist so weit
Du suchst das Weite
Was soll der Scheiß
You're cold as Ice and
You're willing to sacrifice my love

Du gabst mir den Zettel
Ja, Nein, Vielleicht
Ich kreuz ihn nicht an, nein
Baby mir reicht's
Solange die Discokugel sich dreht
Und ich im Regen alleine hier steh
Läuft Salz meine Wange entlang
Babe schau mich ja nicht so an
Ich warte auf gar kein Fall lang

12049 Ja!

Stehst vor den Lines
Und ich zieh Leine
Wir sind zu zweit
Doch ich alleine
Dies Herz ist meins
Doch ich will seines
Bist kalt wie Eis
Doch ich bin deines

Ich zieh ne Line
Und wir verzweifeln
Es ist so weit
Du suchst das Weite
Was soll der Scheiß
You're cold as Ice and
You're willing to sacrifice my love

hundert civic - Kalt Wie Eis (Makinarium Remix)

Celestial bodies orbiting in loving resonance until suddenly a cruel collision takes place and both of them drifting apart into the deep space.
But then there's something left... Besides the beat of its heart, there is a familiar sound that leads to the final conclusion and a direction to follow.
Faster than even possible, stretching space and time, moving towards you, your beacon will guide me, I will find you for the purpose of our Orbital Resonance.

Do you remember a time without worries?
Darkness has always bowed to the pure light.

Communicate with your inner child, draw new hope and strength for the day and let us be the change we wish to see in this world.

Against fascism, wars and systems of oppression

[CT004] Makinarium - Light Beam - Clubterranean 004

Do you remember a time without worries?
Darkness has always bowed to the pure light.

Communicate with your inner child, draw new hope and strength for the day and let us be the change we wish to see in this world.

Against fascism, wars and systems of oppression



Lyrics:

I remember a time with pink skies,
where are we going?

I feel like history is repeating itself,
I feel helpless and I feel sad,
actually I just want to be a child again,
playing outside,
being creative...

I want to discover new music that I've never listened before
