Ron Albrecht stands behind the decks of the most iconic clubs on the planet. His sets are deep, uncompromising, and emotionally charged – a captivating fusion of contemporary techno structures and the raw, honest roots of electronic music. With an exceptional sense for dramaturgy, he reads the energy of the dancefloor and guides his audience on an intense, almost meditative journey.

But his story goes much further back – deep into the early days of German techno culture. In the 1990s, Albrecht was more than just a DJ; he was a cultural pioneer. In 1994, he founded Gerberei in Schwerin, a club that quickly became one of the most important venues for electronic music in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. For nearly two decades, he shaped the club as co-founder, organizer, and resident DJ – providing a stage for both national and international artists, far from the major cities. At the same time, from 1995 to 2006, he ran the legendary record store Easy Traxx, which became a hub and source of inspiration for many DJs and music lovers. It wasn’t just a place to buy records – it was a space where attitude and taste were curated, rooted in a deep understanding of vinyl culture and sonic aesthetics.

In a personal interview with Andre Kronert, Ron Albrecht talks about his first encounters with electronic music, the magnetic pull of Berlin’s early club scene, and the pivotal moments that shaped his path. His stories offer insight into a constantly evolving scene – and into the mind of an artist who continues to approach it with integrity, depth, and passion.

Ron Albrecht - Techno Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 020

TM Shuffle is more than just a name in the international dub techno scene. The Finnish producer, DJ, and head of VUO Records has a rare talent for distilling the essence of depth, space, and rhythm into his productions. His music is infused with a hypnotic pulse that doesn’t shout loudly but tells stories subtly – of snow-covered landscapes, quiet nights, and an unwavering love for electronic music. What sets TM Shuffle apart is his uncompromising dedication to reduction. His musical philosophy is not about quantity but quality: less is more. By deliberately limiting himself, he becomes more creative – digging deep, searching intentionally for the right sound, and developing a distinct musical signature. This principle is evident not only in his productions but also in his thoughtfully crafted, driving DJ sets.

He shares this passion off stage as well: as the label head of VUO Records, he provides a platform for other artists who share his vision of dub techno – raw, organic, and timeless.

In a personal conversation with Andre Kronert, TM Shuffle offers insight into his creative workflow and studio philosophy. In a world of unlimited possibilities, he consciously relies on a minimalist setup: turntables, a mixer, a few select synthesizers, drum machines, and a computer for sequencing. The two also discuss the new release on VUO Records – VUO12

TM Shuffle - Dub Techno Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 021

With heart, vinyl, and an unmistakable energy, Sabine Hoffmann has been shaping Berlin’s club scene since the early 2000s. Her musical roots run deep in hip-hop, soul, and funk – but it was her passion for electronic sounds that ultimately defined her artistic journey. Sabine’s love for the analog world is felt in every one of her sets. Through her pure vinyl performances, she creates sonic journeys spanning techno, electro, Chicago and Detroit house, infused with acid, funk, and breakbeats.

As the founder of the event series "Frauengedeck," she provides a platform for female DJs – not only in legendary Berlin venues like ://about blank, Salon zur wilden Renate, and the Kantine am Berghain, but also internationally, from Armenia to Georgia. Since 2016, Sabine has been a vital part of the OYE Records team, curating club events, in-store performances, and hosting the OYE podcast series.

In her interview with Andre Kronert, Sabine opens up about thrilling moments before her sets, the origin stories and heartfelt missions behind her event series "Frauengedeck" and "Dub Nation," her early encounters with electronic music – and of course, her deep passion for vinyl. For Sabine, DJing is about more than just technique: it’s about feeling – and sometimes, that means letting a needle jump if it keeps the music alive and raw.

Sabine Hoffmann - Acid House Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 022

The German Detroit Techno Authority. He is a DJ and producer who embodies the essence of Detroit Techno, House, and Electro in Germany like few others. Since the 1970s, he has shaped the electronic music scene with unwavering dedication to vinyl, uncompromising sound, and a profound understanding of the roots of the music he plays. Already in the 1980s, he laid the foundation for his musical identity. While most DJs drifted with the mainstream, Bachor remained true to his taste – always shaped by influences from Detroit and Chicago and with an unyielding focus on raw, unpolished sound. His sets are characterized by stylistic diversity and meticulously curated records, with the passionate vinyl collector effortlessly moving between Soul, Electro, Acid, and House, captivating audiences with his deep knowledge and absolute authenticity. In 1991, he launched Psycho Thrill – a project that manifested the essence of underground techno and electro in Germany. Here, Bachor regularly brought legends like Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Kenny Larkin, and Derrick May to Germany, establishing an unshakable reputation as an ambassador of the true Detroit sound. For him, this culture means more than its musical genres can convey. It is a space for self-determination and escapism, a statement against blind commercialism and superficiality.

In a conversation with Andre Kronert, Bachor offers intimate insights into his life and artistic philosophy. He speaks not only about his career but also about personal challenges that have shaped his work – a rare, profound look behind the scenes of a man who has been walking his path for decades without ever straying from the course of authenticity.

Claus Bachor - Classic House & Acid Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 023

Mathis aka "the intern" is a DJ and producer who has found his musical home somewhere between dusty jazz samples and raw hip-hop beats. Rather than coming from the classic hardware school, he grew into music production through software – but his heart soon gravitated toward the analog. With a refined sense for musical finesse, Mathis digs through crates of forgotten records from around the world, always searching for music that moves, for that special moment that tells a new story. His approach to hip-hop is not just technical but deeply emotional: sampling as an art form, a tribute, a reinterpretation.

Currently, the intern is working on a new project with Otis Mensah, building on their joint debut "Before The Noise My Cousin" – this time with more live instrumentation and even more soul. the intern makes music for people with open ears and open hearts – discovered from the past, lived in the present.

the intern - Jazz / Soul / Hip-Hop Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 024

Otis Mensah is a British rapper and spoken word artist from Sheffield whose poetic lyricism and sharp sensitivity redefine the boundaries of hip-hop. Eschewing empty bravado for introspective depth, his work is tender and unflinching – art-rap that resists convention and invites reflection. As the first Poet Laureate of his hometown, Otis used his voice to bridge worlds: between spoken word and rap, between high culture and underground scenes, between the listener and their own inner landscapes. Whether on the stages of Glastonbury or in hushed radio booths, he proves that hip-hop can be a space for vulnerability, healing, and truth.

In our interview with MATTER OF FACT, Otis opened up about the making of Before The Noise My Cousin – a collaborative album with producer the intern that blends intricate lyricism with raw sample-based sound. Pressed to vinyl with care and craft, it’s more than just a record. It’s a deeply felt sonic journey, shaped by friendship, storytelling, and soul.

Otis Mensah - Jazz / Soul / Hip-Hop Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 025

She is an artist who defies simple categorization by genre or scene. Mareena’s work as a DJ, producer, and curator stems from a deep desire to create meaningful connections between music and people. Her roots go back to a time when club culture was rougher, and perhaps more honest. Yet instead of clinging to nostalgia, Mareena continuously looks forward, digs deeper, and explores new sonic and emotional spaces. With a finely tuned sense for atmosphere, she creates a sound that unfolds gradually, reveals layers of complexity, and fully envelops the listener. Her musical signature is marked by warmth and attention to detail, shaped by an intuitive understanding of contrast and dramaturgy.

Whether in dark club nights or contemplative ambient formats, which she presents through her label UNRUSH, Mareena builds soundscapes that challenge and support in equal measure. She never puts herself at the center, but instead uses her music to establish genuine connection.

In an interview with Andre Kronert, Mareena takes us on a journey. From a small village near Rostock to the legendary catacombs of the old Tresor club in Berlin, where she has held a residency for over twelve years. She shares memories of attending the Love Parade with her family in the 1990s and recounts how techno eventually pulled her to Berlin, where she found diversity, freedom, and her musical home. Speaking openly and reflectively, with her characteristic northern charm, she talks about her early days, setbacks along the way, and why she continues to curate, perform, and stay loyal to vinyl with unwavering passion.

She is a producer and DJ whose sets carry a clear signature and genuine emotion. Shaleen tells stories through sound and pulsing, atmospheric journeys that reach far beneath the surface. Her music feels warm, her transitions vivid, driven not by perfection but by authenticity. This approach shapes not only her DJ sets but also her own productions. Alongside her Tresor West residency and her work as a producer and DJ, she carefully builds platforms of her own. With SURD, a multidisciplinary event series in the Ruhr area, she brings together electronic music, visual art and social discourse. And with Spellbound, her new label, she opens a space for experimental, hypnotic sounds – raw, playful and profoundly deep.

In an interview with Andre Kronert, Shaleen speaks about long hours in the studio, producing modularly and surrendering fully to improvisation. Without pre-planned structures or digital safety nets, she immerses herself in a creative process led by instinct. Her inspiration comes from personal experience and electrifying textures brought to life through analog equipment.
