10 years. 10 years of crafting our vision of what contemporary

electronic music means to us.

From the north-east of France to the world, we've spent a decade
telling stories through sound. We've built more than a label; we've
cultivated a community—a true family—that has filled us with
unwavering support and happiness in a scene that thrives on

shared passion.

For this milestone anniversary, we're proud to unveil the 8th
chapter of our Crysta Ampullaris series. This time, we're going
back to our roots. Ten tracks, each one a high-fidelity tribute to the

techno and club music we love. This compilation is a perfect
representation of the eclecticism that has defined our journey

from the very beginning.

PREVIEW - LFVA009 - Crysta Ampullaris Vol.8

Marking the anniversary of three decades of career, Dopplereffekt debuts on Tresor Records with Metasymmetry, arriving 12 December 2025.

This latest release finds members Rudolf Klorzeiger and To-Nhan in deep inquiry in sound, contemplating structure and pattern in physics and nature resulting in a harmonious audio tessellation.

Metasymmetry itself relates to a kind of second-order reality found not in the structures of life but in the rules that govern these structures; that order exists not only in things but in the relationships among systems of order. It is a structure of structures, a logic of laws, an abstract unity embedded in the act of transformation itself.

Accordingly, the four-track EP reflects this duality. Each side opens with a piece of electronic music at its most precise and immovable: defined, kinetic, architectural. This is followed by a second composition that dissolves into a weightless, atmospheric counter-form. The shift evokes a higher symmetry: an alignment not of parts, but of principles; a sonic model of the universe’s hidden invariance.

Metasymmetry also echoes across Dopplereffekt’s extended sonic continuum; this stands as the first offering on Tresor under the Dopplereffekt name despite an association with the label and club going back to the start. In this, it becomes the source of an echo that reverberates backwards through time; its own reflection:

a mirror reflecting in a mirror
harmony within a system
identities in perfect balance

Sometime earlier this year, mysterious stickers started popping up - my face Photoshopped onto a Pokémon. After a few reposts, I learned the Pokémon in question was Mewtwo, which apparently makes me… Rhywtwo (It rhymes!...).

Since then, people have been spotting these stickers in Amsterdam, Paris, New York, Stockholm, Berlin and London so far.

I still have no clue who’s behind this or *why*(!?). But since it doesn’t seem to be an insult or promoting anything, I decided to see it as some kind of game. So, in the spirit of embracing chaos - when life gives you a sticker with your face on it, you make.. a track.

● Masha Wordpress - Breakdown [JAD038]

“Breakdown” is an uncompromising debut EP from an Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Masha Wordpress. Across three tracks, she channels raw, angry energy into a powerhouse of sound. Fusing heavy basslines, distorted synths, and pounding rhythms, this release stands as a bold declaration of intent: relentless, loud, and unapologetic.

Premiere: Formant Value & Simone Bauer - Eos

It can be difficult to mend a broken soul. It can be a struggle to forget. The memories of winter days past still glimmered faintly in his mind, a flickering dream which he struggled to recall in perfect clarity. He longed to be able to remember her face as she stared back from the path up ahead. He remembered the beautiful glow in a smile, in a wink, in a kiss. Most of all he did not want to forget the time in which they spent. He did not want to forget about her, he did not want to forget about you.

Based amidst the sprawl of East London you might upon an evening stumble into a party run by Let's Go Swimming. In recent months they have hosted the likes of Sotofett, Big Miz, Bell Towers and more. However, the formation of their own record label has since seen their relevancy increase dramatically. Doppelate is the latest artist to release on the label and he brings with him an expertly crafted blend of padded house, dreamy percussion and playful melody.

PREMIERE: Doppelate - Forget About You [Let's Go Swimming]

The blackness melted into nothing but a pale grey as a pink light echoed peacefully across the forefront of the lagoon. His brain was finally becoming warm and quiet. His mind was still, no longer pensive and full of sadness. The outlook from the boat was far brighter as they moved above the gentle rolling waves. He looked forward, no longer back, the past was but a blur which lay somewhere beneath the depths of the murky blue lagoon. This was living. 

IXVLF returns with rough and ready tendencies as he delivers a five track ep of wobbling synths and a distorted aesthetic. 

Involuntary Movement

PREMIERE: IXVLF - Acropora [Unknown Precept]

A warm air swept through the open window, the white curtains blew softly in the breeze. The white walls of the villa on the hill glimmered in style beneath the evening rays of the dying sun. Within the house she moved. A woman, a dress, a dance. She was a reflection of perfect beauty, a gorgeous vision, a magnificent dream. He woke from his slumber and this was all that was left, a fitting flash amidst the depths of sleep in which a perfect life was there. 

Carreno Is LB takes an atmospheric approach on his new release for hafendisko, a new sub label of the better known hfn. Based in the Canary Islands he encaptures a melodic energy commonly associated with the heat and warmth of summer. 

Preface

PREMIERE: Carreno Is LB - Woman, Dress, Dance [hafendisko]

A mysterious man, a monstrous mogul, a mythical machine. Mr. MM was the most difficult customer of all. He had escaped the force of the law for decades, some loved his raucous nature, some believed him to be a danger on the streets. All we knew about him was that he was a living legend, and by damn there wasn't many of those left to walk this town no more. He had become our idol old Mr. MM, whoever he was, wherever he was, we loved him. 

Dimitri Veimar is taking step by step to notoriety with a recent string of interesting releases. His latest output appears on Renate Schallplaten, the record label run by the infamous Berlin nightlife hostpot known for debauchery and intrigue. 'Lazy Trance' offers a spectacular soundtrack to such antics. 

Lazy Trance

PREMIERE: Dimitri Veimar - MM [Renate Schallplaten]

The mysterious villain had been terrorising the town for decades. Al Shark was his name, and he was a bad ass bandit with a temper like a rocket ship. His crimes we perilous and terrible, his heart cold and hard as stone. However, this time he had gone too far, it was time for the town to fight back against his vile presence. Within the saloon they gathered, ready to drive him out of town. In the distance a hawk could be heard crying, it was time to run the road. The sands roared wild. 

Kalbata is the co founder behind Fortuna Records. He delivers a middle eastern inspired techno collage with mythical properties. Experimental music for body and soul.
