Family, Fish, Shapes. These are only three of the many topics that Stefan Streck aka The Micronaut recently devoted himself to within his releases on labels such as Acker Records or Analogsoul. Always with a clear line, but never intellectualising, is how the multi-instrumentalist and producer pursues his scientific curiosity in terms of sounds. His tracks are elaborate and yet danceable. Sometimes they are composed minimally, sometimes they are utterly playful. Within just a few bars, subtle sequences transform to energetic roller coaster rides since The Micronaut loves having a game with contrasts. His newest EP on Freude am Tanzen proves this anew. The EP contains four tracks full of references to the past in view of the future. Indeed, the samples and sounds of the British “summers of love“ echo strongly until today, however, they sound much more like a reinvention instead of a revival in the case of The Micronaut. Since his music doesn’t shy away from big gestures, but virtually seeks them out – and discovers them where melancholy meets euphoria far from rigid genre classifications. Breakbeats from Britain come upon IDM and trance, wide synth landscapes are embedded in pop. Hence, this is how The Micronaut unifies contrasts a new in each track.

Within the shortest ever interim between the Summer and Winter Olympic Games - The Micronaut releases part two of his Olympia Project: Winter Games
German multi-instrumentalist and producer, The Micronaut has made a name for himself through his richly textured and enthusiastic compositions. His 2016 album, "Forms" has been described as a true melting pot of sounds and it caught the attention of the electronic music scene with its very playful and original amalgamation of rhythms and samples. Last year, The Micronaut released Olympia (Summer Games) - an album that continued to draw on his elaborate production style as well as on the values of camaraderie and solidarity of the Olympic Games. Continuing on this Olympic journey, the German producer now releases the second part to the project, Winter Games, containing a fresh twelve tracks that capture the essence of winter sports.
Like with his previous release, Winter Games' tracks are named after Olympic sports - Figure Skating, Ice Hockey and Bobsleigh are just some examples of the 12 modalities chosen by the artist. "For this album, I chose Olympia as the theme, because apart from competition, it's also about a movement of peace, where the focus is on people, no matter what nation," says the producer. In the spirit of games, the music is generally high-spirited and upbeat, but this time around it's enveloped by fresher, crisper airs. The compositions move from broken bass rhythms to catchy melodies to vocal samples and guitars in just a few bars, but the mix remains focused throughout. The album's opener, Skiing, is an increasingly intense piece that channels several elements - from highly digital sounds to emotional strings - in a one-way-track. It draws on the rush of excitement and nervousness that athletes must tame at the start line, "It's the calm before the storm," says the producer of the track.
Winter Games is an eclectic ride, but far from chaotic; transitions are fluid, the momentum uninterrupted and the direction cohesive. Behind the music's energetic flow are sophisticated arrangements and quasi-scientific constructions which crush stylistic boundaries and give birth to a new collage-based genre of music. The music is all the more impressive considering that every sound contained therein is crafted by The Micronaut himself, who has been called a one-man-orchestra for exactly that reason. In the EDM-influenced track Bobsleigh, which contains samples from a DJ describing the state of his own profession, The Micronaut seems to be drawing a line between what he's doing, a true Olympic feat in some regards, to a lot of the lazy productions around today. 'He thinks it's cool to just play with an iPod or a USB stick,' we hear a voice say over a hyper-synthetic beat. It's The Micronaut's critical statement on the superficialness that much of dance music has come down to, "Of course there are exceptions, but unfortunately there are only a few," he notes.
At times, Summer Games veers towards techno and at others it seems to be inspired by electro-pop. Towards the end of the album, 'Curling' is a refreshing vocal piece filled with warm chord progressions. "Bernhardt's vocals are really touching, they give warmth to the minimalistic structure of the song," says the Micronaut. The track offers a comforting counterpoint to the high-energy feelings of competitiveness present in the rest of the album with lush pulsating synths and a laid-back groove. "Every time, when I wanted to continue working on "Curling" I was afraid of destroying its very fragile initial structure, but in the end, I think it worked," adds the producer.
Through all the sloping ups and downs of Winter Games, what becomes clear is that The Micronaut is an avid music lover, collecting ideas and inspirations far and wide, and translating them through experimentation and his own prism of emotions, "Music must always be a journey, with ups and downs, with fears and with happiness. Making music is always an expression and somehow also processing of experiences."

Just like different fishes can be found in different grounds, also the acoustic tales of The Micronaut take place in different regions of the emotional landscape: Sometimes warm, sometimes fresh – sometimes calm and stagnant, sometimes lively and floating. And just like all the fishes are connected by the water surrounding them, also this album has its connecting element: A very individual and independent groove. This groove comes with a lot of surprises.Though the experimental character of this work does not really aim the dance floor, it still keeps connected to this place: Two sensitive remixes by Mollono.Bass represent the upbeat for an entire series, being exclusively released on vinyl.

Marek Hemmann - Gemini 09:09
2024 repress
Tracklist:
A Inessa 08.08
written & produced by Marek Hemmann
B Gemini 09:09
written & produced by Marek Hemmann
The Hemmann lasagna is ready! With a healthy dose of ground beef and sun-ripened tomatoes between the sauce and layers of pasta with a peppy salad.
Once again Marek has two tracks with which he arms the planet richly, but also where the cooking spoon just explodes in the kitchen. The writer has quite a steam building upÖbut this music is just so filling, that the stomach just knows that there was a hole there.
To prepare for this first album from the Hemmann kitchen, two long sides strike a tone with a powerful punch, breathless grooves with a long puff and an empire of sounds for the endorphin thrust within and without the headphones. This isnít a construction, but rather a composition.
Exquisitely vibrating grooves with a hopping deepness, percussive elements together with a melodic party radiating in a finely sensed positivity. Itís as if you could together with Inessa and Gemini mutate into a bouncing ball. When his tracks begin to spin, that which happens to the listeners is the stuff dreams are made of.
A Inessa
A track like the remembrance of an energetic dream. The typically exhilarating Marek tribalism (without the tribal) cares for the ëhousyí elegance and hearty thumps for an enriching regarding the musical vocabulary of techno. Music for ass and hips, likewise for knees and shoulders and not to forget the calves and lumbar regions which just pulsate relentlessly.
B Gemini
A balance of driven sounds called from the crowd, and that exactly with a concentration and cunning confronted which one doesnít so soon let go of. Fully packed and tidy kept brings Hemmann to the fore with this solsticeish enterprise. Emotionality in the laptop space and leaving the machines croaking and singing. With an impactful and gentle interior, cheerfulness is probing just in case!

Oliver Goldt

Info:
The first LP is always a reason to celebrate, and also grounds for elated expectation (for more, of course): and now, respect is in order because here is the double premier. The first LP from Marek Hemmann, the multifaceted electro-tinkerer near side of the Saale River, and as well the first CD-Long player from the house of FAT!
We know Marek Hemmann is solo as well as half of the congenial duo Hemmann & Kaden, who for years have been the pillars of the new house & techno scene, both as producer and live act. The complete releases are in the meantime around a dozen; the innumerable remix business for colleagues from Trentemøller to Monika Kruse can it be counted. After the most recent EP, the floor storming Gemini, it was clear that the time is now to get a load of the night fulfilling complete artwork. On to the in between.
What Mr. Hemmann offers here on technoid material, despite the stacked title, is but a small universe. Not quite a snack, but rather right in the middle we find ourselves standing in an eclectic house-world, which in every corner offers a new discovery. From classic deep-droning dub epos over the ëfrizzed-upí house with Bossa shots and demanding horn action up to highly complex sample tone-art. Yes, it is a long trip through techno-land; one in which Marek takes us along, and one which it must be said, is quite wonderful. In the best way. With a round of wholly comprehensive melancholy, it comes over us like a sunrise through the broken club doors after a completely danced-through night. That happens often enough, but for the swinging beauty and manually-labored final touch, flashes forth Mr. Hemmann’s golden hands, bringing back the hypnotic bass lines. The humming monotony lives, as does the subconscious when it says to us: Stay! Move your ass! And look, what beauteous northern melodies there on the horizon. Then the sun arises. Blazing through those same - broken club doors...
Thank you Mr. Hemmann!

Tracklist:
A1 Intro

The new FAT comes off similar to a 12 step program without the raised index finger or narcotic dependence. The final report: intoxicating music is always better than madness by intoxication!
Fact is that this statement clears it all up – bellowing is redolence. It don’t stop with two intelligent digital rock waves. The one psycho with a proper nozzle in the veins, the other one purposefully en march on the tunnel opening to the hearts warmth! The ring of fire is presented in the House of the Wighnomy Brothers
Intro – Pele speaks:
We say YES to the new generation!
Track 1:
The British football legend George Best with the rest of the brew on the pitch - On goal regardless straight to the brain of everyone in the proximity of the dance floor! The just about typical Wignomy waterwheel, propelled through the waters with the 4 x 4 drive train, paired
with easy jazz sizzling, interspersed with a rocket from psychotic wellness for a tumble through the nightly orbit! This is pure moon music!
Track 2:
Breath a little sigh, charge it to the music. My blood needs from now on to create in the brain this new sound scape.
With driven strength the optimum of the heart is opened by a melody of the positive vibe needed to leisurely progress in the dark reality, in order to shine brighter! That is pure sunshine! Building dream machines to wake us up!

written & produced by Gabor Schablitzki
After a short summer hiatus the FAT dam is ready to reopen, returning the flow to the world. The sweltering July heat, broken limbs, Klinsmann fever, and full of Vodka accompanied by scantily clothed bridesÖshould come as no surprise, the typical Wighnomical diversity calls for that dash of personality. Rumblings filtering down from the crown down to the lower extremities, and not the other way around; in 20 years this will stand tall in the annals of techno.
Robag Wruhme – the producer of the duo has takes great pains plying his craft in order that club-music lovers can thoroughly savour the energy of the DJ-couplet (in separate beds of course) in sonic form. For the last 15 years the pair is seldom parted for long periods. Through a fondness for each other tempered with a subtle tension, a diligence accompanied by sweat became their trademark. Thus is ensured the proper balance between stability, advancement, and unpredictability. From such a union divorce is quite unlikely!
Epinikkion
The madness of the preceding summer billed as one account! With the heat and sun, and slippery from the warm raindrops, the dancers gallop over the rainbow. An ordered pause would perhaps drive everyone berserk; this number drives the rudders with a bodily compulsion that blasts away even the heaviest fetters.
Annopanno
Wordless
Gustav Wighnomy’s Okkasion re-(h)-and The green lunacy of next spring is will be envisaged. Especially since the winter is to be quite hard, the oven for the heart is trustworthily stocked.
A truly warm sigh out of the digital ether, for the positive, magically lucky moment is right here to find, ready to hear!
Here we have a remix with one of the most captivating melodic manuscripts of the dying year, full of feeling and expressed in the club. As if everyone could just fall luck blessed into someone’s arms in timelessness galore!
Hankkofloppe
The dark side of the Wihgnomy-Force. Darth Wruhme snatches his accomplice Jabba Maffia away to lure the last Jedi-dancer into the mysterious night. The best part: mystical and unstable energy can save lives and this is gonna be on the floor!
Best Wishes

After along with singer Fabian reichelt mimed the “erasure des clubwesens”, again the mr. hemmann appears alone with a healthy amount of frolicking around his favorite place – the studio.
For a long time he has belonged to those producers who tend to the opposite of the rather emotional-euphoria sound culture aflame in the clubs. The whispering under his breath “hey dancers, just wanted to say ‘Trance’ is back”, alternates constantly with “That’s what i’m telling you, the emotional quality must be placed in between the beats”.
Also here there is the melodiousness and let-us-laugh-while-dancing inside as in so many complete club nights. marek understands the further development of his signature and thereby, between the poles happiness and dreaminess switching ever back and forth; this is
taken to a new level.
The sparrows are already warbling from the rooftops – a new album out the pipeline. only as a small teaser-in-anticipation, this FaT release is not quite presented to the eyes. These three tracks massively blast the dance floors of the world. with the b2 piece “roundabout”, marek ventures into the breaks-dub-drum’n’bass-realm and injects it with a powerful dose of the hemmann medicine.
tracK information
a1 - infinity
it’s clear – it’s a hit! and what a hit it is! with “infinity” hemmann shoves the clouds to the side that this summer has so abundantly provided. rightly so, because the shorter days need more clear blue sky. above all our hearts need the sun. over the ear this functions wonderfully, especially with such songs.
B1 - You know
The laughter travels! a decently effective hopper for the club fiddlers sharing goodwill amongst each other is the program here. like with the best meals of the world, it’s the perfect ingredients mixed perfectly together that pleases your pallet best.
B2 - roundabout
The appetite on step together with rolling breaks and bass, has also infected marek hemmann. at first you might think ‘what like experimental drum’n’bass?!’ Then it morphs into an unbelievable shuffle-swing over the crackle of the beats and you find yourself overtaken, plunged into the heart of a techno set!

After along with singer Fabian reichelt mimed the “erasure des clubwesens”, again the mr. hemmann appears alone with a healthy amount of frolicking around his favorite place – the studio.
For a long time he has belonged to those producers who tend to the opposite of the rather emotional-euphoria sound culture aflame in the clubs. The whispering under his breath “hey dancers, just wanted to say ‘Trance’ is back”, alternates constantly with “That’s what i’m telling you, the emotional quality must be placed in between the beats”.
Also here there is the melodiousness and let-us-laugh-while-dancing inside as in so many complete club nights. marek understands the further development of his signature and thereby, between the poles happiness and dreaminess switching ever back and forth; this is

SHORT INFO:
Freude am Tanzen is back for a very special occasion. In 2022, three Various Artists EPs will be released, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the label from Thuringia. Whilst occasions like this would normally be celebrated on the quarter century, this release makes sense not only on the mathematical level. 3 compilations with 4 tracks provide the half of 24.
The release however also makes sense in terms of history. Freude am Tanzen is showcasing a broad range of electronic music, never neglecting their history but also looking into the future.
The last installment of the anniversary-compilation starts with the upcoming effgee reminiscing about something that’s most likely happened to everyone once or twice, packed into a classic yet fresh house track. Beautiful chords combined with a proper baseline. Sharing the A-Side with him is d.m.s., who’s production is settled somewhere between the urban and the jungle, incorporating elements of both worlds. Some groove to it, with vocals that stimulate to think!
The B-Side on this release focusses on variation. Lauer combines lush deep house vibes with some acid elements into his track ‚Janitors‘, while LoYoTo have opened their whole toolbox for their contribution. A wide array of samples and a meticious drum arrangement.
VITAL SALES POINTS:
effgee:
effgee is an up and coming producer and DJ from Hamburg, now living in Berlin. He has gained attention not only from Freude am Tanzen, but from renowned selectors all over the world with his own imprint felice. As there are already fresh releases cooking up in his studio, we are very happy that effgee is part of this compilation. Thank you!
d.m.s.:
The thuringian musician is no stranger to Freude am Tanzen. Formerly part of the duo Taron Trekka, Daniel Müller-Sachs has been concentrating on his solo-project in recent years, already contributing two EP’s alongside a compilation for the label. Apart from that, he is known for his outstanding deep DJ sets.
Lauer:
Philipp Lauer is no stranger to electronic music. Having been around since over 20 years, he is known for his solo productions and remixes as well as collaborations like Tuff City Kids and Arto Mwabe. Next to being a regular on Permanent Vacation, Running Back and LARJ, Lauer also runs his own label Brontosaurus. Having produced five solo albums already, Lauer is still hungry and creative. We like!
LoYoTo:
The Berlin-Duo has also been around since a minute. DJ Cle was part of the legendary Märtini Brös and one of the first residents at Planet and E-Werk, while Eva Be has made a name for herself since 1995, releasing on Pokerflat amongst others. LoYoTo have released EP’s on Upon.You, Watergate Records and Foul & Sunk. Nice to have them on Freude am Tanzen.

Front Left praises the groove with his track ‚AM3N‘. Very playful and delicate and a lovely selection of
percussion. Do not miss!5.

monkey maffia - Schörless
Good things take time – ideally, including a great deal of oomph. At least when it concerns new tracks from within Monkey Maffia’s inner circle. It has been four whole years since we received the momentary last piece of the “Monkey Maffia Music Club”, 12 inches full of funky nasty beasts dedicated to the best dancefloors of this world. In the meantime, a remix was released here and a track was presented there, but now we may once again enjoy a full load of Monkey Maffia. And on top of that the now 75th release of Freude am Tanzen! Monkey Maffia is personally providing the soundtrack for this ceremonial occasion. His tracks continually supply tremendous amounts of oomph to parties as well as loads of gravity and funk. After all, as an experienced DJ he simply knows what an awesome night looks like – a straight bass drum fractured while simultaneously amplified with infinitely warm synths. On one track, bass and percussion are throwing all our worries overboard, on the next one pads and vocals are shimmering to the bet. Whatever may happen, it can be said with utmost certainty that it will never become boring on either secular flat earth.

The third time is the charme...that’s right. Thus, the joy about the third album by Marek Hemmann is huge. Likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musician’s potential. Either hold one’s ground or dare something new? Marek Hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. He was merely in the mood for new tracks. The eight newcomers on “Moments” sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterised by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which Marek Hemmann is world-renowned. Anyhow, a “just continue as before” mentality is not an option for the Berliner by choice - from the beginning, his music effort- lessly blurred the established genre lines. In this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candour.
As already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums “In Between”and “Bittersweet”, in “Moments” Marek Hem- man takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music. Nestled in “Helio” and “Bob” branches to significantly different moods are introduced from silent pauses to weightlessly lifting off to dancing around dreamily. Yet, within the many interwoven details, a noticeable sophistication can be picked out. Even more seamless and subtle, Marek Hemmann manages to unite euphoria and sweet melancholy, playful and sublime sounds, warmly shifting basses and sweeping synth-melodies. “Moments” provides moments of life and moments on the dancefloor with the fitting soundtrack. We are very happy about this.

taron-trekka - Distance
A1 Black Magic Taron-Trekka's ride through the night starts funky and dry with the title track of the EP. The effects bleep here and fade away there, however over distance a magical pull develops. A pull that can only be escaped from with great difficulty. A2 Monofile Regarding "Monofile", Taron-Trekka conjures a groove as selfwilled as enchanting by initially making vocals and keys appear on a dead straight beat and then letting this very same one stumble over itself. At the right moment it engenders at least as much "Ohs" as "Ahs" in a club, you bet. B1 Red From black to red, from night until morning. For exactly this moment "Red" was made, which brings every last person to the next afterhour with its swing and depth. B2 Distance Entirely against its own title, "Distance" may indeed affect one deeply. Namely then, when one wants to delve into funk as subtle as extensive. That is Jan Jelinek at a gallop or SND with more punch. Both are fantastic

matthias kaden - Korokana (Cuthead Remix)

matthias kaden - Clarity feat. Sophie Taylor (Redshape Remix)

matthias kaden - Get Phunky feat. Aquarius Heaven (Nick Curly Remix)
As an ode to the energy of classical – characterized by warmth and soul – house sounds, Mathias Kaden's second album "Energetic" was received generously this summer by music criticism as well as by longtime fans and not least by dancers on the dancefloors around the world. Since that is where Mathias Kaden first performed his work live. Besides the excitement of the original tracks, there is however always the fascinating question in what way further 'greats' of this music will newly accentuate Kaden's tracks with their remixes, admix other nuances, break out in different directions. The first part of this tonal extension can now be listened to. Furthermore, the selection could hardly be any more exciting: Kompakt hero Michael Mayer uses the plea for the effect of energy intonated by Rocko Schamoni as an opportunity to celebrate exactly this musical pure form. He educes a euph oria from the actually calm end of "Energetic", which one could only wish for on every dancefloor, by going far afield with regard to the synth waves. Dresden's cuthead from the periphery of the uncanny valley notoriously likes to romp about at the crossovers between deep house, sould and hiphop. It is clear that "Koroka" as a starting point especially appeals to him. He grips the vocal samples and slightly grinds off the edges of the originals – in favour of a relaxed, dancing lightness in house music. In contrast, Redshape gives the originally hovering anthem "Clarity" more edges and drive. Sophie Taylor's vocals insert skimped loops into the analogous acid inspired synth sounds of the Berliner. The statement of Sophie Taylor's desire for "Clarity" is definitely placed on a new level with this rawly left interpretation. Finally, Nick Curly contributes the hypnotic and elegant minimalism of present house with his remix of "Get Phunky". The Mannheimer's tech-house swooshes by streamline-shaped, though not without Aquarious Heaven's distinctive words. However: a digital bonus of his remix is available as a complete instrumental dub-version.

marek hammann - Chameleon

marek hammann - Alice
Marek Hemmann's new EP "Chameleon" offers an appetizer to his forthcoming album: two euphoric 10-min- ute house cuts that do what they do whether in the oven that is the underground cellar or on the window sill at home with a view to the prairie. Both give that Hemmann characteristic crispy , dry beat with a pulse and drives the listener almost trance-like ever forward. On top of that, "Chameleon" builds a tender, soft synthie sound structure that again and again brings a wonderful heavenly vibe that in seconds turns into a com- plex form. "Alice" uses a similarly sounding house rhythm and forms a soft almost romantic melody that so quickly takes on a hypnotic-type flavor.

After the flirtation: Driven, Summerless and Fake on BPitch strolls Douglass Greed with a new disc and ammo of happiness out of Jena and into the world. The Spark/Noisy EP beams with four inebriated tracks on the FAT horizon. For this adventure young Dougi brought a few buddies to shake the beat tree free. The magic of the union sizzles when Mooryc, Schlepp Geist, Affkt, Chris Manura and Remood strap the drums on to the moped and chase the wind. Techno and house stretched right over its boundaries. A candy storm of elegant blows and snares in the right places. Melodies without the use of sandpaper yet still smoothly polished, bestow a view into the varied ‚Sound-universe' when Douglas Greed sparks sounds – releasing endorphins in the bloodstream.
