The Argentinean electronic music ambassador who is a legend in his time, having being voted to to one of the best DJs in the world by DJ mixmag many years in the row and who is named in the same breath as John Digweed, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, Henry Saiz and Nick Warren has been a strong supporter of Applescal and Microtrauma from the start and has recorded together with Soundexile this remix of "Olivia". Their interpretation of Olivia has lead to an epic symphony for the senses, changing keys and synth pads with great knowledge for a perfect flow. Creating a perfect balance between beat and melody. Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile have written a strong remix which will make a lot of people happy and put a smile on their faces.

Microtrauma - Olivia (Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile Remix) // Traum Schallplatten

We welcome Microtrauma with their debut on Traum. Microtrauma is a new cosmic force on the Traum planet. Microtrauma have been making music since 1995 but it was not until 2007 that they had their break through and real success with their EPs. Their biggest hit so far was "Aktin" which was played by people like John Digweed, DJ Sasha, James Zabiela and eventually ended up in a BBC Essential mix by James Zabiela. Microtrauma have played live together with Bodzin and Huntemann in their hometown and had great feedbacks coming from them and other associated classy DJs. They have released a remix on Traum for Max Cooper's "Stochastisch Serie" which marks their good relationship with Max. For their "Colourblind EP" on Traum they have attempted an even more sophisticated sound construction succeeding in three brand new tracks. The a-side "Saturation" makes a spiritual link to electronic avantgarde of the 70ies, connecting to the greater and dynamic moments of musicians like Klaus Schulze, still feeding the techno corpus with enough heavy bassline and kick to tweak dance floors. "Saturation" has sonic parts that give way to gooseflesh and a sun soaked intensity that makes it a "daylight" track.

"Diffusion" is soulful as well, maybe more linear and even more ghostly and haunting, spiced up with electronic sounding basslines, filtered voices from the distance, heavy delays and a pounding techno beat. "Contrast" as the title itself suggests, is very different to the other two tracks. The beat relies on a “break beat” and the musical theme may as well be the most adventurous of all tracks. Steering towards different levels, all parts are connected to each other in a magic way… the spirit is kind of gloomy and bright with nice feedbacks and a seductive mildness and musicality that makes it so unique and cool.

The extra mixes come by Max Cooper, Ryan Davis and Richie G. Max Cooper has twisted "Contrast" towards an 4 to the floor beat but has enhanced it with a lightness and soothing quality that provides "Contrast" with an ethereal and airy quality not to be matched by anything in the files of melodic techno we know of.

Ryan Davis has chosen to remix "Saturation" making it an epic track with stronger changes into clubiness… we can feel a bit of Paul Kalkbrenner substance here. The third bonus track comes from 17 year Canadian producer Richie G who has already released music for John Digweed's label Bedrock. Richie has stripped the original of "Saturation" to the bare essentials making it even more accessible for DJs.

The smiles, the sunburn, the sounds, the sky and the clouds. The strangers, the friends, and the foreigners. The driving, the dancing, the laughing, and the falling over in the dark. The campsite envy, the forgetting of socks, the lack of ice and surplus of dirt. These are the things which will define the greatest weekend of your life. There will be no rules, save that you respect one another and yourself. There will be no walls, only patchwork fences that do little to shut out the beauty of the surrounding Australian bush. For three days you will live with thousands of strangers, encountering the limits of human sight and sound and surpassing them, making new friends, losing your sanity, finding it again and experiencing all that life has to offer. Welcome to paradise. Welcome to the wild world of Strawberry Fields.

In the fashion of super slack down tempo "trip hop" meets electronica, you would not have expected Microtrauma to have a talent also for this genre. Their „Emilia (Ambient mix)“ is super relaxed dope music for the summer outside... cool as cool can be. Preview (128 - MP3)

Microtrauma - Emilia (Ambient Rework) // Traum Schallplatten

Microtrauma’s second release with Traum shows them at their best... they have taken a break to write this timeless "Mini Album" for Traum. The release kicks off with "Circulate", a piece of epic melodic techno that works in a highly artistic fashion. A skilful composition with lots of musical changes and last but not least a breathtaking arrangement!
Changing perspectives from melodic lush to forceful emotional outbreaks, its constant "up and down" makes this a rollercoaster of a track. And if you would want to use the word "Circulate" itself, you may as well describe the track in its peak as an "entrifugal emotional force"! Preview (128 - Mp3)

The second original 'Morning Lust' sees Andre with another unique progressive techno production. Irresistible hooks, a grinding groove and haunting motifs all wrapped in a lo-fi approach make for another standout melodic production. The lone interpretation of 'Morning Lust' is provided by Microtrauma who are returning to microCastle for their second appearance. The German duo who are renowned for their detailed sound first appeared on the Canadian behemoth in April of 2012 with a remix of Cid Inc & Lank's 'Emotional Self'. Subsequent appearances on Herzblut Recordings, Sudbeat and Traum have highlighted the duos discography in recent years and they've turned in a cutting edge interpretation of 'Morning Lust' here. Microtrauma has stripped the track down into a lean and exhilarating melodic techno construction. The duos fluid energy is renowned and once again on point here with waves of sonic details firing through the mix. A chain of feedback thematics during the main break proves to be a highlight and gives the track an even more distinct sonic aesthetic. Excellent interpretation from Microtrauma.

Fabian Schumann & Black Vel. - Alcutia (Microtrauma Remix) // Mangue Records

After a five-year hiatus, the acclaimed German DJ and producer duo Microtrauma make a long-awaited return to the scene, and what a comeback it is. Known for their releases on respected labels such as Parquet, Traum, Einmusika, and Soulful Techno, they now resurface with a powerful new double single on Solees esteemed imprint, Future Romance. With Norycove, Microtrauma tap into their signature melodic depth. Emotive synths, infectious hooks, and driving rhythms come together in a beautifully crafted journey that feels both timeless and refreshing. In contrast, Explore lives up to its name by venturing into a more stripped-back, techno-oriented territory. Darker, more hypnotic, and undeniably functional, its a peak-time weapon designed to ignite dance floors. This release offers a perfect blend of emotion and energy, a compelling statement that Microtrauma are back in full form, ready to move minds and bodies once again. A triumphant return that fans old and new will no doubt celebrate.

Microtrauma have taken on "Otro Ayer" and have added their magic to the already existing alchemy of the original. 
The remix embraces a cosmic quality which you might have come across with experimental music form the late 60ies and 70ies (Pink Floyd) fusing it with a techno beat... 
which struck us enormously as we are aware of how difficult it is to evoke moments of the "Krautrock" age.
We are sure Microtrauma themselves would coin different phrases to describe the track, but this is what we felt when we first heard it.

"Calendula" starts rather introspective and silent but undergoes an enormous transition which puts it in a league with some of the best gentle pieces of melodic techno around. It is hard to wrap up in words how the track moves to totally different corners music wise within its eight minute ride but for all of you who know Ryan Davis and Microtrauma you will have expected something like this to happen.

Microtrauma - Input // Elected Tunes

The title of Max Cooper’s “Stochastisch Serie” EP, refers to his use of stochastic methods, also known as non-deterministic, or random methods of sound generation. Stochastic elements referring here mainly to real sounds including vocal experiments and sampled sounds which create a complexity and richness which has been a trademark of many well known Traum releases in the past.

The London based artist Max Cooper sees his new 12" as a construction of different moods going beyond club music, as witnessed in the past through tracks such as “i” and “End of Reason”. It is no surprise that “Dischordance” is another one of these timeless pearls alongside these mentioned tracks that have created a fan base worldwide for him. The friction Max generates is created by two sides colliding, the synthesised drums and melodies and the random experiments with voice. His dance floor rockers “Stochastisch Serie” and “Mnemonic” work in a much more functional way but do include bits of this randomness and therefore are part of the superstructure “Stochastisch Serie”.

The remix of UK producer Leeks is very hip in style and sound and will please a lot of younger DJs who love the cool swing and groovyness with music and will find the functionlism here going very strong. Microtrauma from Germany turn the track upside down in their remix, taking out the elements that create the tension and incorporating them in their subtle beat, creating a steady flow of deep music

Max Cooper - Mnemonic (Microtrauma Remix) // Traum Schallplatten

Second journey is created by Gabriel Ananda. 
He opened a brand new soundscape, different palette of emotions and playful melodies. That reminds me on what is there, on the other side of all those fears, when you simply open up and let go.
It is a new breath, it is freedom, strength and it is a new experience.

Ryan Davis & Microtrauma - Traces (Gabriel Ananda Remix) // Soulful Techno

Microtrauma are a very successful act on Traum and have been a top draw following Dominik Eulberg and Max Cooper for a Minilogue remix. So we were excited when Microtrauma decided to remix the original of "Let life dance thru you“. What they have done is amazing they have transformed the complex and bizarre original into a light hearted but dramatic and bass driven monster. Microtrauma’s beat is just pure seduction and could actually go on forever… and their dub approach here shows they are a versatile duo that cannot be pigeonholed. Microtrauma have a great future and this is just the beginning.

Undercurrent (Soñar LP)

Interstellar, planetary, spacious revolving sounds... Microtrauma’s opening track "Solitone" starts with a period of naked drum patterns which give way to craftily build up architectural patterns all done with an exceptional lightness that shows why Microtrauma have advanced to a powerful role on the label Traum. 

Microtrauma’s quality is to touch but not be captured or pinned down by a genre or category. Their unpredictability is not to be predicted... so gently are their changes so superb are their continuous modes… their magic is their art. 

This release is all about making the right marks in a pure and heavy techno beat and slowly building it up creating a bit of a picture

RELEASE: 03. April 2020

The EP kicks off with "Rooftop" a baseline driven minimalist beat monster with a truck full of soul. A track you’ll happily surrender too in our opinion. Microtrauma display their polyrhythmic raffinesse on the basis of 'less is more' and show their appreciation for modern sound design by giving full attention to the single sound.

Microtrauma enjoy a well-earned reputation as a progressive techno act in Germany and beyond with live acts in Argentina, France, Israel and Germany. They redefined melodic techno when they surfaced in 2011 and enjoyed top charts positions at Beatport with many of their releases. So we are happy that we can announce their return to Traum with a new EP.
Still, very much at the top of their game, Microtrauma realized they had still something to say and recorded 4 special trax that can be considered mighty melodic techno tunes that fit perfectly in to our time.
Their production has always been flawless and they have been remixed by Max Cooper, Ryan Davis, Egbert, Fairmont, Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile R and more.
Microtrauma "Ely" (Traum V240) is available in high quality on all streaming and sale platforms: https://geni.us/traumv240

In 1995 simple tracker software got the interest of the two friends Daniel and Ricardo. Thus, they decided to produce a few tracks.
Both shared a common passion for all sorts of different musical styles, which made their early productions very diverse.
Through the many influences of artists from New Order and Depeche Mode to Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Moby and the various techno disciples
of this multi-faceted time, the two of them produced everything they enjoy, be it trip hop, electronica, breaks or techno.

However, in 1999 the two of them went separate ways for reasons of diverging careers.
They quickly lost touch to each other until the contact ceased completely. Yet, the two of them still wished to produce music.
This is why both of them kept working with synthesizers, music software and studio technology creating their own tracks.

In 2003, it was coincidence that brought them back together.
The two friends met again at a small local electro party and soon realised that they still shared the same interest for electronic music as they had four years earlier.
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.

In 2007, Microtrauma had its first release “Wake up“ on the Elected Tunes label. Their first own release “Collar EP” soon was to follow.
Microtrauma has developed its own style from almost ten years of working and tinkering as well as its many influences: melodic, dark, technoid and minimal.
