Deep Seahorse Podcast presents: Microtrauma!
All the way from Germany, we have the melodic duo of Daniel Päßler & Ricardo Linke which have combined roots way back to 1995. Their early day productions could be all from trip hop, electronica, breaks to techno. However, in 1999 the two of them went separate ways for reasons of diverging careers, but got back together by coinsidence in 2003. After a few sessions in their domestic living room studios they decided to make more of their hobby and, thus, started renting their first studio in 2005.
Microtrauma was born.
2007 was the year Microtrauma kicked off. They had their first release “Wake up“ on the Elected Tunes label with their first own release “Collar EP” soon to follow.
They are now highly know and recognised producers, with a serious amount of EP's in their bag. Their style is something special, a different touch, melodic, dark, technoid and minimal as they say themselves.
We are super excited to have these two guys onboard our cast! Welcome aboard!

INTERVIEW

What do you do to get into a creative state?
"Sometimes the machines just inspire me, sometimes I open a bottle of wine."

Where do you draw your inspiration from?
"Situations that I’m finding myself in in, the feelings I have, technology around me."

What do you love most about being an artist?
"Touching peoples hearts man. Seeing happy faces at gigs or getting messages of people that are moved by my music gives me a lot of strength."

How do you stay focussed in a world of constant distraction?
"Just turn off notifications & zero in on the machines. I have a lot of trouble focussing, so eliminating distractions helps me a lot."

Do you have a morning routine?
"Hell no, I’m not a morning person!"

What fascinates you about your art from?
"One guy sitting in his basement can do it all, create an atmosphere & make people move and feel – the ability to convey emotion through a technological intermediary."

What, for you, is the purpose of art?
"Expressing yourself through a medium & let other people feel by coming in contact with your work. Art does not necessarily has to have a function, in contrast to design – a lot of dance music (including mine) is more design than art."

What is sacred to you?
"Staying true to myself, integrity is key. I like the Egyptian afterlife concept of having your heart weighed against a feather."

What is your opinion on success?
"Success is when you look back on the path you treaded & get a warm, fuzzy feeling."

What is your opinion on failure?
"Failure is such a loaded term. The absence of success is not failure & failing a goal you set for yourself is not actually a bad thing. Every „failure“ is something you can learn from and improve."

What would your 16 year old you think about what you’re doing today?
"Since my 16 year old self was already dabbling with Ableton he would be like 'Damn you have all that gear - make more music!'“

What makes you laugh?
"Dogs. Dogs are awesome."

In which ways could the scene improve in the future?
"Right now there’s too much focus on self-marketing via social media & less on creativity and skill. This is in part due to an over-saturation of the market which makes it hard to be the cream rising to the top. I hope that in the future we find a way to honor quality & dedication and focus less on shiny pictures & follower metrics. 
Women are still underrepresented in my scene (especially on the production side) and sexism is still a thing. Hopefully, we can be more welcoming & kind towards dedicated female newcomers and have a more diverse palette of creative output together. 
What also bothers me is the stagnation. E.g., once there is a successful sound, a bunch of copycats swoop in and the market is flooded with „same-ish“, uninspired works. How did we evolve from ten years ago? Right now a lot of the new stuff that is most visible sounds like boring, recycled 90s stuff. Electronic music & especially Techno was once a promise of uncharted sonic territory and possiblity, so why do we always go back to the same 909 Drums and Acid Lines?"

Who will considerably give direction to the scene soon?
"Right now, we’re at a turning point due to the COVID-19 quarantine. After the dust settles I really hope that the underground spirit returns and a lot of new & creative artists emerge and get a chance to be heard. This is an extinction-level event for the clubbing scene, but after a forest fire new life always springs. And I really hope that the younger generation of artists will rise to the occasion and bring a new sonic diversity to the scene."

Favorite release at the moment & of all times?
"At the moment I really dig the first Koelsch Album 1977. 
Favorite release of all times is a hard pick. With Teeth by Nine Inch Nails and Gui Boratto’s Chromophobia have a special place in my heart."

Tracklist

Introduction 105 | Starkato

For his long-awaited debut to ICONYC, we welcome Berlin resident Kaldera to the label. Kaldera delivers a slice of early summer vibes titled 'Reason of Necessary'. The original track kicks things off nicely with its melancholic moodiness shining through as we meander effortlessly through club inspired melodies, while the sultry chords sit wonderfully on top adding an extra layer of depth.

Lutzenkirchen, who needs no introduction created a rework full of tension from the word go, as the driving vibe keeps you moving with warm tinkling sounds, a palpable edge and some stomping effected sounding pieces. We basically have the formula for a bit of a monumental outing. The sparseness is the key here, as this restrained gem works its magic while it plays away, creating a thunderous glow while creating an air of sophistication. "Essential stuff!"

Next up we welcome our favorite Swiss producer and DJane Vanita who marks her return to the label with a classy rendition of 'Reason of Necessary'. Known for her melodic techno influenced sound, she keeps the ethereal theme of the original alive, as the pulsating bass powers along, before its drum fills and general warmth all combine to do the talking. Like something from yesteryear, yet sounding fresh and exciting. Lovely rework from Vanita. 

Lutzenkirchen's dub version is a stripped back affair. He takes the energy levels up a notch, with stripped back and lucid elements, before the scrumptious pads grace the rework, changing the vibe and creating a blanket of madness that wraps around the effected groove. It's all about the groove, cool driving techno vibes and driving beats that are working their magic around Lutzenkirchen's wonderfully arranged keys while the clever chords take the mind on a trip. 

With 'Reason of Necessary' Kaldera really shows that there're no boundaries, as this beautiful melodic gem guides you to a full-on club laden, melodic hug of a release that will cause many smile induced moments! 'Reason of Necessary' sees a worldwide release on May 11th, 2020 via every well-known digital content provider. Not to be missed.
