"Lights Out” certainly puts across the feeling you get at the end of the night - the club has closed; you are walking home. These are the sounds and feelings in your memories as you chase the vibe that is dwindling as the club becomes ever further away.

Lights Out

The MFA - Lights Out (Traum V278)

"You Make Me Smile" is the third vocal track on the album featuring Rhys Evans on vocals. It has fantastic radical stark mood changes and blatant shifts, therefore throws the listener from one corner to the other. Just like the contrast of day and night. Bits here and there might conjure a Radiohead spirit, but really this is all MFA.

"The Snapping Branch" starts with a mash up of sounds and then dives into an episodic snapshot of "happiness" when the serotonin shoots in (just before it drops). Experiencing a perfect flow that does not want to end. Every clubber knows that feeling.

"Lammas Day" has the chilling exotic quality of 808 State "Pacific State" if you grant us this comparison, paired with some phantastic Dr Who sensibilities! This track is quite a voyage!

"Bear Likes To Rave" takes us back to the warehouse days and reminds us of the acid warehouse parties with fanned stroboscope beams and dry ice cannons. It’s like looking down on a rave party happening from above, from a bird's eye view, which is in full swing where the euphoria spills over into the audience.

"Identify This" kicks off with blissed-out sci-fi sounds but commences with 90s rave chords that gets under your skin and creates a fantastic kaleidoscopic picture of moody UK rave with these spurts of emotional uplifting moments which are worth every penny.

The album opener "My Desire" pins down the essence of the album, showing some pop sensibility and a healthy dose of that early 90s spirit with longing vocals by Rhys Evans. The track shows from many angles of the intensity of what club culture was about. The track has, for sure, that pop quality which sets it apart - it is a very complete and rounded and in the true sense, a hit.

"Dusk" is a mighty outro track, a powerful coda. It provides a lasting impression with its sinking out of tune chords and synth sounds but thins out to the end to connect to the beginning of the EP.

"Field" is getting into gear with beats and a bucket full of sensual voices. It sees a fat synth talking which is then killed off to give way to tender organic sounds that could come from a sea shore where a small ground of people has gathered.

"Luminate" kicks off the EP... a 2 minute piece of electro acoustic music, a sensual humming, an echoing voice , electronic sounds that resonate like crackling sounds on the floor, a period of rain, a yearning piano... welcome to pørtl’s minimalism, in the shape of a 2 minute deep dive.

In a time when electronic music often risks becoming formulaic, Ron Flatter offers something rare: emotional architecture built for the dancefloor. A true craftsman rooted in Germany’s club culture, he translates the pulse of underground nights into music that speaks not just to bodies, but to instincts — and, perhaps, something deeper. His latest EP for Traum Schallplatten is less a release, more a reflection of a scene felt from the inside out.
