Cityscape Sessions 087: Microtrauma

Ron Flatter has recently recored his debut for Traum and delivers here a bass heavy techno monster with his remix of "Cortex". The relentlessly bouncing bassline, the nice ups and downs, and the short but intense peaks, create a DJ friendly stop and go rhythmic, making it a DJ weapon altogether. Looking forward to hear they track being played out.

Microtrauma - Cortex (Ron Flatter Remix) // Traum Schallplatten

"Inter Aural" is the epic builder for this EP. Their Fx treatments and plenty of teasing climaxes... spitting out futuristic and alienated synth pads… embedding them in soundscapes with a very cinematic sound design: This all makes it a powerful piece of hypnotic music and definitely a highlight on this EP. Other than that it is simply a perfect track to loose yourself in… it offers a highly seductive "comfort zone" of tasty sounds. This is a track you can dance to in the clubs as well as listen at home.

Microtrauma - Inter Aural (Original Mix) // Traum Schallplatten

Having just returned from Gottwood festival, the duo has completed their newest meticulous crafted recording for Traum. It has been a whole year since their last release on Traum, with a lot of touring to remote parts of the world and building up their new studio, so we expect people to be looking forward to their newest invention. Microtrauma have been a Traum label stalwart since March 2011 with their "Colorblind EP" and the "Olivenkernkomplex EP" maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors and even adds some new striking perspectives.

"Olivia" starts rather simplistic as a dramatic tale and evokes images of early Plastikman trax. Its machine nature in the course of the track swells with organic respiration and makes it a sensuous piece of music that never boils over but simmers on the surface creating a kinetic catchiness par excellence. This is not only a great opener of the track but a very fine blend of stripped rhythms and synth pads. Microtrauma’s strength is the fine balance they create through the knowledge of playing live for years now. Like so many of their tracks in the past also this track has cosmic energy going.

Microtrauma - Olivia (Original Mix) // Traum Schallplatten

Track two features "Olivia" in a remix version by Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile. 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

"Cortex" pumps liquid grooves and triggers tiny melodies. Fantastic "stop and go" rhythms are taking place here... synth pads and sub-bass pressure are the matrix of the track... leading it into an exceptional deep and electrifying break. This is a breathtaking break you will very rarely come across… it can connect to the best moments of Klaus Schulze. A goose skin track and a a big one for all people who like to explore the in betweens and the new face of melodic techno.

Hernan Cattaneo's fine imprint is back with another slab of underground goodness. Its Kassey Voorn who steps up to take his turn, and delivers Chords From The Heart. 

The talented duo from Microtrauma are remix duties, having racked up tracks and remixes for Traum, Monique Musique and Basmati, these boys are hot property. 
The remix they delivered is a superb slab of melancholic techno, utilising the melodies from the original, but adding a deeper slant, yet keeping the vibe for a peak time winner!

Kassey Voorn - Chords From The Heart (Microtrauma Remix) // Sudbeat Music

The collaboration between Wareika and Soukie &amp; Windish at this time delivers a very special package. The original is a long atmospheric track, which seems to slow down and after a long and fading break ends up in a deep an cool offbeat. Wareika`s interpretation is a masterpiece. They played whole part and sounds with their own instruments and added a new baseline, which turns the track into a completely new direction. Works for many occasions.

<p>Originally released on Bushwacka!s Olmeto Records imprint in June 2011, West Side became an instant anthem last summer. Inspired by the hedonistic euphoria of Ibiza, the original track took the shape of a massive dancefloor weapon with its memorable chord progression and high-impact bass. Now, just in time for this summer season, Tronic have licensed West Side for a special remix package from Christian Smith &amp; Wehbba and Bushwacka!s new Just Be pseudonym. Around the same time as West Side was destroying main rooms across clubland last summer, the same floors were reverberating to the re-release of Funk DVoids classic Diabla; the last remix partnership from Christian Smith &amp; Wehbba. Fans of that track will be similarly seduced by the unashamedly monstrous styling of their West Side remix that pulls no punches in delivering the familiar chord hook in show-stopping style via two crowd-pleasing crescendos. Bushwacka!s new production project, Just Be, is set to get tongues wagging and ears twitching in 2012. With releases lined up for Get Physical, Maison Detre, Plus 8 and Intec Digital, Tronic are proud to be amongst the first to showcase the Just Be sound. The edit of West Side sees Just Be reincarnate his original monster as into a slower burning but equally impactful tech groove that smoothly slips trough the gears before dropping the hammer on the killer hook.</p>

artist: Yakine
title: Rise
label: Spectral Sound
release date: 22 May 2012

Rising Parisian producer Yakine's career pretty much defines the word "eclectic"—in his teens, he was a bona fide metalhead, playing guitar in a metal band that toured all over Europe, before his love of hip hop steered him in the direction of the dancefloor. He really found his home behind the decks, however, and once he discovered the world of electronic music via the patronage of his brother—who introduced him to the sounds of underground deep house and techno—Yakine quickly moved into production. He's since released a series of EPs on European labels like Esperanza and Jetaime Records.

The Rise EP is his first release for Spectral Sound, a four-track slab of understated, atmospheric techno. The title track features a guest vocal from Canadian DJ/producer James Teej, who intones a series of faintly sinister demands—"Are you going to rise to the occasion? Are you going to dismay your friends? Are you going to enjoy the situation?"—over a backdrop of pulsing bass and stabbing synths. "For Motion" picks up both the tempo and the energy, while "Disaster Drop" and "Except" both have a distinctly dubby feel, all spacious reverb and vocal samples that drift in and out of the mix like snatches of half-remembered dreams. The uniting theme is a brooding, cerebral sound that's equally comfortable on the headphones as it is on the dancefloor.

All great man have more than one side, more than one "face." Our Beachcoma co-founder and canuck-in-exile, Sheldon Thompson is no exception. Over the last decade he has produced under several names and collaborated on many projects, but two monikers ring out most when mentioning his name. As Pan/Tone he crafts precise and driving Techno known the world over for it's propulsive energy and unmistakable hooks, while as Sid Le Rock he releases an unmistakable mixture of electronics and rock'n'roll that crosses over to many audiences.

Some of us know Sheldon personally as the eternal host, a man who is always bringing people together and turning the most boring of get-togethers into all out celebrations.This is Pan/Tone, man of the people and someone who's a welcome edition to any party's soundtrack.On the other hand some of us know him as the guy who tips us over, or the guy who puts us head-first in a puddle. This is Sid Le Rock, a soul of mischief like no other, but also a hero of sorts who stands up for the common man in a world in constant threat by evil super-posers.

Electric Rescue & Ryan Davis - Stroll (Mononoid Remix) // TRAUMV160

---
Ryan Davis teams ups for his newest release on Traum with French artist Electric Rescue creating a powerhouse of cosmic techno.

Mononoid have taken the original of "Stroll" as a blueprint for a baffling "astral" remix. They have created a nostalgic anthem that manages to subvert traditional structures writing  themes with a  breathtaking balanced Balearic feel. A cool DJ weapon they can be very proud of.

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.
