Ambient techno proper with Timnah Sommerfeldt

Nestled in the inner city of Basel, Switzerland, lies one of the more progressive and experimental outposts you can find for techno music: Timnah Sommerfeldt. A bastion for new and intrepid sounds to blur the lines between tempos, beats and space - it’s a platform that allows Timnah - in conjunction with her cohorts Garçon, Agonis, and Varuna - to continually define and redefine the non-existent.

By bringing a deeper, fourth world and atmospheric mix to her sound - the Timnah Sommerfeldt effect is as cerebral as it is rhythmic and immersive. With the gregarious side of techno seemingly always within earshot - it’s artist’s like Timnah Sommerfeldt who posses the ability to embrace entire spectrums of genre, making for a wholly beguiling experience every time.

Guest appearance on Netil Radio for @dannichollsldn's show.

Luca – 16.11.2023

Spinning Grounds w/ Monty Luke

The monthly show hosted by @katharina-davids is returning with guest @montyluke

Monty Luke. Very excited to have such an incredible producer, versatile DJ and label founder of Black Catalogue to spin for Spinning Grounds. Monty’s journey has taken him from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Detroit and then Berlin - recording new music, for labels like Hypercolour, Rekids, Planet-E, Classic, KMS, Cadenza, Blood of Thrones, 2MR and sharing his selections with crowds whereas he seldomly just sticks to only one genre. The music itself and feeling of it seem to be the red line and not the genre label of it - interweaving house, dub, dark disco, deep techno…. “I’m still in love with the idea of sharing music with people and the exchange of energy and ideas it can bring about.”

'Spinning Grounds' by @katharina-davids is all about opening grounds for newcomers to spin their music - to explore all facetes around genres from house, Detroit, dub techno to break beat.

► Release Info:

Vapour Recordings and all it's artists return freshly inspired from Balance Croatia and you can be guaranteed that studio's around the world will be pumping out freshly inspired tunes from what has gone down as the best event our scene has offered up in over a decade. Here at Vapour we're ready to attack the second half of the year starting with this stunning new EP from Gai Barone.

Unbelievably, this is Gai's first full solo EP (first of many) having featured on the label with remixes of Kasey Taylor & Chris Meehan's classic - Simplicity back in 2020 and Kasey Taylor's - Mysterious Madness in 2024. The wait is finally over for the release of this EP which has been hammered by everyone you would expect. Lumia & Mixolydyan are two trademark Barone tracks in the Barone nature that we like here at Vapour.

Remix duties on Lumia come from another debutant to the label this year from Argentina as we welcome Mike Griego to the label with a stunning remix of Lumia already being hammered by Alex O'Rion and many more.

Get ready for a powerhouse of an EP from these two magicians.

PREMIERE: Gai Barone - Lumia (Original Mix) [VAPOUR RECORDINGS]

As an electronic music artist, @petervanhoesen needs little introduction.

A techno veteran renowned for his innovation and creativity, Peter has spent his career balancing the cerebral and the physical, in line with his ethos of producing ‘mental body music’. Most recently, his musical inspiration has come from the halcyon days of the Belgian electronic music scene in the 1990s. This new focus was the result of a period of self-reflection for Peter, in which he determined that the mental side was starting to outweigh the physical in both his own music and within segments of the wider techno scene. To bring the balance back, he started the Center 91 label, and upped the urgency, groove and BPMs of his world-spanning DJ sets.

Patterns of Perception 50 is a snapshot of Peter’s refreshed, idyllic vision of techno, an intricate tapestry of visceral psychedelia and compelling rhythms. It perfectly captures and illustrates the balance of mind and body music that has been the cornerstone of his work to date.
