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.

Tracklist 
Nigm - Jotunn  
Ayuji - Supercell

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.

PLAYLIST & Q/A

My Favourite Friends Podcast #31 Pazkal

A small collection of music produced by or in association with Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples. Lew and myself put this mix together in mid 2015 for our radio show on the community broadcaster 3RRR 102.7fm. 

We're hardly in a position to make commentary on the vastly diverse musical cultures that exist across the cities, towns and communities in Australia, but this seemed like a simple way to provide an alternative to the JJJ countdown. We encourage you to have a look and listen for yourself - you'll fine everything from desert reggae to 90s house, and stomping rock. 

Thanks and gratitude to all the musicians involved in these projects, both living and deceased; to C.A.A.M.A. for releasing almost half the songs on this mix, Incite Youth Arts (http://redsandculture.com/) for their excellent compilations, and resources like IndigiTube (http://www.indigitube.com.au/) for a chance to hear these fantastic artists. Thanks to Peter Mumme for providing a deeper understanding of the Waak Waak Jungi project (for which there is a reissue in development). 

The refusal to celebrate Australia Day is part of an ongoing fight for the recognition of first nations people's rights. If nothing else, we hope this mix can serves as an alternative soundtrack for a weekend that otherwise resounds with a the cannons, fireworks and bells of Australia's colonial history. If you are able bodied and free, I encourage you to attend one of the many rallys that will be taking place on the 26th January.

Originating from Colombia Sano was born with rhythm in his soul. Now based in Barcelona he has become a prevalent artist in his own right having found his way into the heart of the Comeme family and now most recently Public Possession. His sound sees him integrate elements of latin music within modern day electronics in an exciting fashion. As a result his presence has continued to grow, travelling regularly this year has seen him play widely across South America and Europe. 

The theme of his mix for us sees him explore his own heritage in great depth as he pays tribute to Latino producers across the globe. He explains in his interview below:

"Genetics. Blood. Proud. Heritage. We, the Latinos, are one big family . The main intention of this mix is to showcase the work of this latin american producers: Nehuen, Sixtoagusto, The Chica, ViVi, Diegors, Rumanians, Vandel."
