"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.

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.
