"Mist" is hypnotic and seductive, with sequences that slowly push through a thick cloud of sound. The track's motion is captivating, wrapping the listener in a dense atmosphere of pulsating rhythms and subtle melodies.

"Ready For Take Off" translates the tension and drama of a plane freeing itself from the earth into relentless, driving techno. With pollinating sequences and siren-like sounds, this track captures the thrill of escape, unstoppable and determined to break free. It’s a perfect techno storm, full of suspense and energy.

Tim Ziemer's new two-track single for our label TRAPEZ, opens with "Mug" a track brimming with industrial strength, raw habits, and undeniable charisma. Beneath its robust exterior lies a sequence that voices a deep, soulful mood. This interplay of contrasting elements is precisely what makes "Mug" so compelling. It’s the tension created by this dynamic that pulls you in, moving you from one emotional corner to another.

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.

Im Delirium

Ümit Han - Im Delirium

The EP opens with „Deseos Vacío“s, a dark and hypnotic techno cut that delivers a perfect mix of relentless groove, heavyweight production, and just the right touch of soul. Its understated, sophisticated, and free of any cheap thrills—pure, focused energy for the dance-floor.

Next up is „Non Violence“, a machine-driven track built around a pulsing, repetitive theme. Layered with spacious, reverberating FX, it creates a sleek and immersive sound architecture that pulls you in deeper with every bar.

Closing the EP is „Dilema“, a slow-burner that evolves from a monotone intro into a massive rave anthem. Packed with sharp signal sounds and textured backgrounds, it builds into a spectacular piece of peak-time techno that hits hard and leaves a lasting impression.

The second track, Ascension Rapide, takes a more stripped-down approach, opening filters step by step to unleash a raw, authentic techno vibe. Machine-like sounds explode outward like bursts of kinetic energy, creating a track that hits hard and spreads power across the room like a pump-action shotgun.

Visioni

Ascension Rapide

Marco Piangiamore - Ascension Rapide (Trapez 274)

Marco Piangiamore's latest offering kicks off with Visioni, a hypnotic track where soulful undertones rise from the depths, intertwining with a relentless arpeggiated sequence that drives forward with unstoppable energy. Built for the dancefloor, Visioni evolves with perfectly timed delays, expanding its sonic landscape and pulling dancers and listeners alike into its immersive groove.

Get JOYCE MUNIZ - MADE IN VIENNA here:
https://Exploited.lnk.to/qDC_zFA

It was fitting that Brazilian-born, Austria-based artist Joyce Muniz broke through in an era characterised by the cross-pollination and globalisation of music. Initially combining the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary European electronic sounds, she later morphed into a house / techno producer of the highest calibre. Along the way she worked with the likes of Maya Jane Coles and Viennese legends Kruder & Dorfmeister and released on influential imprints like 2020 Vision and Shir Khan’s Exploited. It’s the latter which has been her main platform for releasing music since 2011 and where she now unleashes her full-length debut album, Made In Vienna. 

The album showcases the latest evolution of her sound, moving her from the dancefloor into a space somewhere between the club and the home, aided by a slew of perfectly crafted vocals.“This album took almost two years to make” she reveals. “I met a lot of people during my tours. I also brought a lot of people to Vienna to work with me.” Her symbiotic relationship with the Austrian capital sees her put in as much as she takes out of it. She is part of the fabric of the city’s musical scene, from her show on national radio station FM4 to her residency at the sadly deceased Pratersauna. 

With a long gestation period and a cast of collaborators picked up through her journeys across the world, Made In Vienna is a record that embodies Muniz’s recent life and experiences, and makes it all the more personal and charismatic as a result. “It’s hard to say what this album is” she elaborates on the record’s identity. “I can imagine people dancing to it in the club but also in the car, or hearing it on the radio or at home. I think it really depends of the mood of the listeners.” Indeed, with the lines between the clubs and the radio blurrier than ever, her approach to this debut record couldn’t be better suited to 2016. 

Kat Vinter’s honeyed vocal on Cover Me Up gets the album going in fine style, countered by male singer Knixx’s soulful delivery on Drop In Pressure as a follow-up. 
Simple Poetry shows she doesn’t rely on vocals to make a captivating track, however, with lush chords pulsing over a succinct arrangement. Wake Beside You shows her prowess in the b-line department with Christa Vi’s higher registers providing the perfect counterbalance to the phat bottom end. Hide with Enequist takes her musicality to new heights with gliding harmonies and xylophones and Human Life collaboration Deeper takes the melodies into a moodier place. Gotta Love It is one of her typically guttural, low-slung club workouts. Daydreaming provides a gently pumping and euphoric groove. After this comes Angelique Bianca’s sultry tones on the techy Wehbba co-production Sleepless, and her Kraftwerk-sampling single Back In The Days with Jungle Brothers legend Bam’s inimitable hip-house stylings showing what a diverse range of sounds and songs Muniz is able to eke out of the house/techno template. Album closer Silent Crime presents the album’s most delicate and fragile moment. 

It’s not easy to make a cohesive, convincing album that marries the best of both worlds, but Joyce Muniz has done in seemingly effortless fashion.

OUT NOW: http://bit.ly/trulyors_small_ships

ARTIST: Trulyors
TITLE: Small Ships
LABEL: Crossfrontier Audio
CAT #: cfa053
RELEASE DATE: 2016-11-07

Exploding onto the electronic music scene and making waves with his glorious, yet raw sound... is the up-starter otherwise known as Trulyors. Utterly dedicated and always yours, the Montreal based producer gives us some sweltering beauts for his Crossfrontier Audio label debut, in the Small Ships EP. 
Four original works come into play, with a stand-out feature from Luciole on the self-titled track Small Ships, bringing us remarkably daunting vocals that could hypnotise Jason & the Argonauts far more seductively than any harking sirens – all the more deadly with Trulyors's production giving the finishing touches. But you know it doesn't stop there, right? Fuck no it doesn't. 
A man who's very much on point, Trulyors makes it all count, having experienced releasing music on a bunch of labels and playing out at renowned festivals, his love of music has been poured into his productions, and the rest of the Small Ships EP exemplifies this: whether it's the reckoning of Unification, the bittersweet driving of Vienna or the uplifting moments of Classy – we have you covered on all grounds...
The contrast in each track within the Small Ships EP shows a varied taste and an eclectic palate for any electronic music connoisseur, from the deeper barrels of house to the higher haze of club room techno. All the while, Trulyors has put in the work that's laid the foundations for a notable debut on CFA, and now we can't wait for you to get banging it out across speakers, sound systems and headphones; we're certainly going to be bringing the sound across the borders. 

The Small Ships EP sees the light of day, and the dark of clubs on the 7th November.
