Hello 24! Nice to have you here. 23 is so yesterday, so over the top, really. Well, we’ve been dancing the following dances recently. What about you?

What lasts a long time usually turns out well. Having admired TEE MANGO from afar for many years, our A&R Michael Mayer took heart and invited him to this year’s TOTAL. “So In Love” is in the best tradition of the KOMPAKT minimal funk of the early years. We are delighted to have this lovely Englishman on board!

REINHARD VOIGT has always placed great emphasis on loving animals. On the track with the unsurprising title “Der, der mit dem Gummiball sang (Orange)”, he lets whole hordes of different four-legged friends and poultry on the microphone. Hopefully the stench will dissipate from the studio.

When Rhenish cheerfulness meets holiday anticipation, the result is something like this Hawaiian shirt turned music called “Chee-Caruso” by JÜRGEN PAAPE. No animals were tortured for this piece either, even if it sounds like it.

We stay in the realm of fauna and turn our attention to London’s award-winning pedigree dog REX THE DOG. “Laika” is a heart-warming ode to the mongrel dog of the same name, who was the first living creature to make it from the streets of Moscow into space. She would have loved that bleep.

A little-known fact about MICHAEL MAYER is that he is one of the fastest crossword puzzle foxes on the left bank of the Rhine, always in relentless rivalry with Wolfgang Voigt, who thinks he is even faster. The big battle is yet to come. Uninvited guest with five letters? “Urian”.

As an integral part of the family, JONATHAN KASPAR is of course not to be missed. “Are You” celebrates the kind of early morning rapture that is commonplace at his new DJ venue, the brand new Cologne superclub FI. Everything is so colourful here.

SASCHA FUNKE takes a bow to one of the greats of German showbiz with the trippy electro smasher “The Heck”. Born – like DJ Koze and Barnt – in Flensburg, died in Berlin in 2018 and wore glasses. More will not be revealed.

More emotion, more love, more sing-along factor? Si, claro! ARGIA’s “Love Keeps You Running” masterfully combines groove and pop – a blend that sounds very familiar to us. She may be at home in Madrid, but there’s Cologne DNA in her somewhere. We’re sure of it.

Let’s meet the legends, the veterans! JÖRG BURGER is still in a psychedelic mood in 2024. That suits him, that’s where he needs to be, that’s where we want him to be. A parallel universe is conceivable in which such music is affectionately called Goa.

Before going to bed, the WASSERMANN reads us a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights. At the same time, we focus on a point between everything, but really everything, and absolute, stark naked nothingness. 3, 2, 1… Let go.

Ratios III is out today 13/09/24, along with the second single ‘Rapture’!

"I wrote this track after doing music and sound design for Andrea Khora’s film of the same name. Inspired by that project I delved deep into psychedelia, psychoacoustics and microtonality. Come for the trippy loopy techno, stay for the Ligeti-esque breakdown."

"This one’s been getting a lot of love already, (the eagle-eared will have heard this in CCL’s amazing freero set!) huge thanks to everyone that’s been playing this and supporting so far." ~ @wordcolour

Impérieux (aka Alper Durmush) is a beatmaker extraordinaire hailing from Kırcaali / Kardjali: since antiquity a hub of mythical music, located at the crossroads of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece.

Rezil is his stunning debut album, built on the ground cleared by his head-turning earlier releases for KiNK's Sofia Records and DJ Koze's Pampa. Its effortlessly mesmerizing 10 tracks consolidate the outlines of forward-leaning club music. Experimentation is a well-established facet of Impérieux’ approach to the adventurous techno (left)field, but more than ever on Rezil he seizes the opportunity to thrill with holistically captivating hooks, bass lines and rolling rhythms: A culmination of several years of exploration and refinement. Unpredictability lies at the heart of all this music, bound together by a consistent modernist glint.

From the warped wobble of Sword Fight to the unhinged dairé excess of Imana, from the drunken Casio bliss of Rezil to the hopeful euphoria of Young: a triumph.

PREMIERE : Impérieux - Objectify

Temporary Space

“Time” is the first single from DJ Raff’s forthcoming EP Daydreaming, set for release on 3 October 2025 via London label Earthly Measures. The track was crafted through layered sound experiments that evoke nostalgia and an acute awareness of time passing — how life unfolds in distinct stages, each with its own weight and significance. While imbued with a reflective, bittersweet mood, “Time” pulses on a dembow rhythm, keeping it both danceable and deeply emotive.
