Tracklist:
A: Shimmer B1: Shimmer - Wink Remix B2: Mesmerize
Release info:
Shimmer was the record that put Stefan Goldmann on the map of techno. The dark and throbbing tracks, reduced to the essentials, were love at first sight for many of the DJs who ruled the scene back in 2004. Josh Wink threw in one of his most focused remixes for Stefan Goldmann's debut on Ovum - which was also the first one by a German artist on the label. As so often in dance music, things have come full circle. About time to give a mint copy of "Shimmer" to the DJs who play this prototypic sound today. Remastered meticulously by Rashad Becker at D&M, with the title track cut to a full 12" side, it never sounded better.

UPC 827170490765 Release: 11.03.2013
Tracklist: A: Closing In B1: Gee Baby (Ain't I Good To You) B2: Read That Lips (2013 Edit)
Stefan Goldmann's very first release from 2001, thoroughly remastered. Long out of print, this has been extremely sought after classic vinyl. In their day, these tracks (together with Missing Days / That Ghost) created the prototype of today's stripped down house sound. Especially "Gee Baby" has recently been rediscovered and became a signature tune of Ibiza's DC10 / Circo Loco with DJs like Raresh and Matthias Tanzmann - which made it swap back to its native Berlin and its legendary eternal afterhours. The A side's "Closing In" with its broken funk predated a lot of convergence happening now between house and bass music. And last but not least, Stefan Goldmann provides a brand new, ultra-stripped down EDIT of the mesmerizing "Read That Lips." Essential all the way.
Remastered by D+M's Rashad from the original DAT source and cut to premium vinyl, they are finally available again in unprecedented quality.

Produced in 2004, this EP marks an essential shift in the production of Stefan Goldmann to his modus operandi as a dedicated innovator. He had adapted the "Barricade" guise to induce some serious deviations into the techno realm. Yet, heads weren't ready and he simply continued under his real name with his major breakthrough works: Perlon's "Blood EP" and the legendary "Sleepy Hollow" tune. Hidden from the public, Aleko and Frantic had built a prototypic aesthetic of rough, concrete-space sounds - reduced dark, metallic percussion grooves, spring reverbs and degraded post-acidic synths. You name it where you heard this sound years later. It's revealing how far ahead these tunes were at the time of their creation. They sound more "now" than many current tracks. "Aleko" is the 4/4 techno version of this soundset, locked-in clonk patterns built around a nitrous bassline. "Frantic" could be a future development to today's dubstep, if it wasn't it's actual historic predecessor. Add the schizophrenic bass excursion "Heliotrope" and you have a package of painstaking relevance. Back then the A&Rs simply didn't get it - that's why it took 6 years and the formation of Victoriaville to finally bring these gems to light.

Missing Days and That Ghost built the foundation for Stefan Goldmann's steady grip on today's state of the art in electronic music. Both tracks were produced in 2001 and became the key works of his early years. Long out of print, they have been sought after classic vinyl ever since. Remastered by D+M's Rashad from the original DAT source and cut to a whole 12" side each, they are finally available in unprecedented quality. Missing Days predated the recent huge Deep House revival by several years and designed the layout for today's ruling modern, reductionist deepness. Stunningly, That Ghost sounds like the original prototype to much of today's other big tendency: totally stripped down, drum-centered House. A steady beat pattern that creates maximum impact with a minimum of elements - add a one note bassline and sparse appearances of spooky snippets and you have pretty much the sound of 2010. Could we have had Bar 25, Berghain's Sunday sessions and DC10's Circo Loco back in 2001? Thus, with "Remasters Vol.1" Victoriaville celebrates Stefan Goldmann's ten years of visionary work.
