After 15 years experience as a promoter and performing as a DJ, Berlin based Desolate Discotheque established himself. Back in 2019, he fulfilled a personal dream by starting his own independent cassette label, Crave Tapes. The inspiration he draws from 80's underground electronic music and the goth culture, is manifested in his exorbitant, dynamic, and excessive style - a wild mixture between EBM, Industrial, New Beat, Synthwave, Post-Punk and some Techno.

Hello Everybody,

In recent years, the introductory texts for the Pop Ambient compilation series, which is released every year on Kompakt as the last release before the Christmas break, often began with the sentence "Every year again...".

“Every year again”, a quiet, almost unnoticed maxim of self-evidentness. Because this is already the 25th issue to be published this year.

25 years in increasingly fast-moving times in the even faster-moving music business is an eternity that doesn't just feel like it. It is all the more remarkable how I, as someone who is always restless and often driven by this fast pace himself, pleasantly almost haven’t realised how - in pop-ambient contexts - time does not pass (or passes differently) in the best sense.

When compiling the 25th edition I was asked, among other things, what it was like that I was still doing this and whether I had a favorite track. In the spirit of bringing all the tracks together I don't have a favorite track, or all of them. But I have a favorite part (moment) that I played. In this case it was a broad chord in a change of key at minute 2:55 in the piece Circles by Max Würden. A moment of majesty and familiarity that, at that moment, contains the entire Pop Ambient cosmos, that just works and doesn't explain anything - and I said: “...that's the reason why I'm still doing this.. .”

Pop Ambient is a statement without demands. Is promise without expectation. Is a path without a destination.         Every year again.

Wolfgang Voigt, October 2024

As always, the indispensable final mastering by Jörg Burger ensures that everything is brought together and the sound is fine-tuned.

And like every year, the 25th edition is of course wrapped in an abstract, floral magic creation by Veronika Unland. Over the years, the grace of her imagery has increasingly merged with the musical aura to form an unmistakable magical symbiosis.  In addition to the official vinyl and CD edition, there will be a limited edition of 100 pieces in transparent vinyl - including a hand-signed fine art print by Veronika Unland, available exclusively at Kompakt Mailorder.

Periadriatische Naht

Sono Kollektiv feat. Nathalie Brum - Periadriatische Naht

213 DEMO 15

This week on Topshelf we're excited to have with us Nantes based, DJ, Producer and Events organiser, Väälha.

Having a unique inspiration, pulling from cinema from the 70's and 80's, Väälha is an EP deep into his production career and with huge success. His heavy italo disco tracks make him a perfect addition to Marcus Christiansen's Club Mackan family and his debut EP, 2024's 'Odyssey' released under the label, garnering remixes from big Italo hitters including Auster, My Secret Playground and Panthera.

Väälha's inspiration from film is evident through his work with it's cinematic boldness shown through emotionally driven sequences, rising synths and heavy hitting industrial drums. All of these factors separate the budding artist from the pack, with his brand of italo drawing on more industrial foundations which sometimes pull it closer to techno.

With his last release, a remix of Vladyslav Putistin & Lvcerate's 'Ghosts of the Past' being another heavy italo anthem, we can't wait to see what comes next. So with a mix for us that celebrates his industrial italo sound , we're delighted to present Väälha for Topshelf 0133. Enjoy.

SHEA Radio #099: Pyrame

Physicist turned music and record producer, Berlin-based Pyrame’s emergence into the electronic music scene is a story of wanderlust, dream catching and cosmic energy. A poet at heart, he takes the opportunity to create raw emotion through both his melodies and lyrics, when if you listen closely, are inspired by his endless adventures of the world around him.

Combining elements of synth-pop, post-punk and progressive electro, his DJ affair of building both his sound and his label contains a touch of surrealism, heritage and fantasy, as his inspiration is pulled from the twists and turns of Greek Mythology. His record label, appropriately named Thisbe Recordings, comes from the myth of “Pyramus and Thisbe” which are most well known as the couple of ill-fated lovers by the ancient poet Ovid.

Over the years, Pyrame has produced several mixes - "The Pace of Everything that Lives", "Electronica Melancholia", "Senses High" - and has been remixed by influential producers such as Arnaud Rebotini, Inigo Vontier, Acid Washed, Theus Mago, Local Suicide, Skelesys, La Mverte, Semodi and many more. More recently, Pyrame immersed himself into techno by exploring sub-genres such as tribal slow techno with Radial Gaze with their collab EP "Voodooridoo" and leftfield deep techno with Andrey Sirotkin and their collab EP "Untouchable".

Expect more from Pyrame in 2025, as the year unfolds and several busting releases are already  lined up both on his label´s front as well as with his own music. This, keeping faithful to his vision of staying indie and in the underground.
