Karl Kirschmayer - Doloris (Original Mix)

Astral travel with Cybotron into the meta-narrative of the Parallel Shift, a new sonic fiction that raises many questions about military science of the near-future and the possibility of other worlds. 

Descending backward through the rhythms of time, the Skynet module retracts from the hyper-structural society of 2100, edging toward the mid-century modern age teetering on the brink of what was then the frontier of “the future”. The system boots the Infiniti process, morphing into a cosmotechnic vessel coursing the superhighway of burgeoning general intelligence, seeking data from just before “the overshoot and collapse.” 

R&D methods, rhythmanalytically applied, dissect the aftermath of an industrial society that burst through the ecological capacity of Spaceship Earth. Fractal visions of war and innovation spike and recede from and into the surfaces of reality being bent and guiding the eyes, ears, touch towards a laboratory in the year 1961. A nuclear expert, Don Lewis, receives orders to decrypt the mysterious black dodecagonal disc known as Fortec and the extraterrestrial biology unearthed in Roswell. He joins a team disassembling Fortec and studying the recurrent dodecahedral patterns linked to the human nervous system. 

Through dismantling and probing, the team cycles through a saecular search devoid of finite conclusions, limited by Earth’s intellectual and technological prowess. One 1960s night, Lewis, while meddling with Fortec’s cyborganic innards, accidentally electrifies himself. His cyclotron and missile experience guides him to circuit-bend Fortec, stirring the entity from a mechanical slumber. Lewis and Fortec communicate in resonances, until it drifts back into a tranquil stasis. 

The US Defense and contractors, unbeknownst to them, observe this breakthrough. They later permit Lewis to exit military service as the Air Force forms the Foreign Technology Division. Concurrently, MJ12 evolves into CY12, delving into second-order cybernetics. Lewis clandestinely keeps working on Fortec fragments, transitioning from military engineer to musician, pioneering the LEO module, a fusion of Fortec’s essence and audio engineering. 

He shares his insights with Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi, aiding the creation of the iconic TR-808. Meanwhile, Fortec branches out, coining “Cyberspace” – a collective illusion of liberty unshackled by physical, political, or spiritual bounds, anchored in the equitable distribution of The Golden Ratio across realities. Yet “Cyberspace” morphs into a chaotic truth reservoir, spilling over into deception. 

The Parallel Shift manifests in the perpetual “Now,” a collapsed event horizon where past and future are ensnared in a relentless present, unfurling along a dissolving timeline, overseen by a monolithic simulation under ceaseless watch… 

— The Rhythmanalyst aka DeForrest Brown, Jr.

Taubenschlag

As the year draws to a close TAU unveils its latest release, with German duo The Cheapers handling business this time around. On this two-tracker we also get a rework from highly respected producer Dave DK, best known for his releases on labels such as Pampa and Kompakt.

The EP starts off with the title track, ‘Poem’. Throbbing bass frequencies intertwine with a sonar-esque fm-bell to establish a serious, purposeful mood. A chilling, detuned vocal sings in Spanish intermittently as The Cheapers tease in a variety of unsettling effects. This unusual, yet stirring cut epitomises the TAU sound, emotive, deep, dark and moving.

Next up is ‘M10’, a stoney-faced rumbler with more strange atmospherics and eccentric production. This is the sound of two experienced producers enjoying themselves and flexing their musical muscles. Relatively simple in its architecture, ‘M10’ shifts and evolves steadily, the energy building in subtle waves keeping you engrossed from start to finish.

Dave DK steps up to remix ‘M10’, giving it more bounce and an assertive rhythm. The pace is quickened, though the morose mood remains. Dave’s ability to cultivate solid dancefloor movers is clear here as he demonstrates his knowledge and experience with an uptempo reinterpretation.

Karl Kirschmayer - Moments (Mixtape)

Neulich habe ich diese Aufnahme aus 2012 auf meinem alten Laptop wiederentdeckt. Sofort erinnerte ich mich an die tolle Zeit von damals und bekam direkt Gänsehaut.
Leider fand SoundCloud das Mixtape nicht so toll und löschte es aus rechtlichen Gründen.
8 Jahre später - der nächste Versuch 🙃

Ich hoffe es erfreut sich jemand da draußen genauso wie ich und schwelgt in Erinnerung.

V.A. Deep Series 2 (DPTRX 1.2) 

After 3 years, we are proudly releasing our second V.A. Deepseries after the previous success of the first. These tracks were collected over past years and now they join together on this outstanding atmospheric EP. 
Ruffien kicks off with his beloved track ‘Old Ways’, a deep, emotional rave track, which was previous unreleased on vinyl. Second up, a familiar face; Mathijs Smit. After working in the Deeptrax recordstore for 3 years he is releasing his track ‘Binary Life’, heavy in bass with emotionally layered firm strings. Finally the last track of the A side is from one of our favorites; Tim Jackiw. After his beautiful album, he contributes to Deeptrax Records for the second time with ‘Prophet Class’- a fresh and vibrant 313 house tune! 

On the B side we begin with some deep mysterious minimal rhythms, Lo-Fi beats and metallic percussion by Rich P & Lee with ‘Runnin Solo’. For the big finish, the last track of this EP is the very emotional track ‘Mirror tells stories’. We instantly fell in love with this jazzy acid track when Hamatsuki sent it to us a few years ago. Finally it has found its place

We proudly present to you Deep Series 2! 

Tracklist: 

A1. — Ruffien - Old Ways  
A2. — Mathijs Smit - Binary Life (String version)
A3. — Tim Jackiw - Prophet Class

PRE-ORDER

V.A. Deep Series 1.2 (Deeptrax Records - DPTRX 1.2)

Karl Kirschmayer – a creative force in the electronic dance music scene of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Germany.

Karl began DJing in the early 2000s, quickly developing a unique style that blended house elements with a touch of experimentation. From his first gigs, it was clear that his goal behind the decks was to express himself through music and create an atmosphere that resonated with both himself and the audience.

In recent years, Karl’s focus has shifted more towards working with synthesizers. His sound now spans deep, techno-influenced beats, along with melodic and atmospheric elements.

Despite this shift, DJing still holds an important place in Karl's musical journey. Even though he now dedicates more time to music production, he still enjoys playing live and sharing his music with the crowd, creating a special connection with the audience.
