Info:
Scale and Scope is a set of four colour flexidisc records, each containing an instantiation of an individual microtonal designer scale, developed by Stefan Goldmann. The four discs are housed in a printed cardboard portfolio.
The flexidisc medium plays like a vinyl record, but is inherently noisier and tends to exhibit more signal disruptions than conventional vinyl. Expect occasional clicks, crackle and other variations, which differ substantially from copy to copy. These make each set unique.
The digital file versions are re-recorded directly from the flexidiscs, with very few corrections and a few spectral interventions by the original artist. The full resolution digital files used for cutting the flexidiscs will be available exclusively and individually to collectors who wish to acquire one of the scales as
instantiated in the recordings.

Info:
Layered asymmetry: With Alluvium, Stefan Goldmann explores new structural paths for machine
rhythm in irregular metres. Throughout the album, different non-binary patterns run simultaneously,
interlocking into twelve offerings of jagged polyrhythmic magic. Such a framework may juxtapose 11
on one axis, against 7 on another and 5 on a third – building stunningly iridescent edifices of
multidimensional time.
This is the third album in a series of "first principles" research of metric asymmetry. Veiki (2019) laid
the foundation for "real broken beat". Then, Vector Rituals (2022) explored the bending of grids in
order to yield idiosyncratic forms of organising time. Alluvium takes these two approaches and
expands them beyond their initial reach: Irregular patterns moving along parallel timelines within one
unifying grid.

Info:
For its first publication, Edition Kymata has commissioned a five-part long-form work from Stefan
Goldmann. This exposé to an incorporeal spatial structure captures infinite reverb responses to five
carefully designed immersive spaces.
Building on his earlier reverb-only work 'Call and Response' (2022), the capacity of reverberation to
enable the experience of impossible architecture is further explored – possibly in its clearest form to
date. The five zones of intangible aural sensibility compiled in this box set range from soothing to
menacing, inviting to a unique critical listening situation in which the listener's perception is the
dynamic side of the exchange while the stimulus persists in profound permanence.
The properties of the five enclosures – boundless in the time domain, distinct in their spatial
characteristics – reveal themselves completely and can be precisely described in statistical data,
allowing for multiple levels of access: a brief visit, long-term contemplation, exclusive ownership.
Stefan Goldmann is an electronic music composer based in Berlin, Germany.
Edition Kymata is a publishing house for audio arts with a focus on the study of first principles.

Info:
Acustica: For this acoustic sources-only mix, Stefan Goldmann cut up a vast library of recorded
interpretations of 20th century avant-garde compositions. Layered segments of individual instrumental
and chamber performances form emergent orchestral opulence – just to spill over into actual
orchestral segments. Goldmann has tackled acoustic archives before with his edit of multiple
recordings of Igor Stravinsky's 'Le Sacre du Printemps'. However, this mix traverses the disparities
and convergences of seven decades of score-based music with impressively results. A meta-level
polystylistic work that explores vast potentials of integration, interaction and interference. An antidote
to the prevailing practice of sounding compositions in scattered, sterile isolation. Here, opposing
concepts of music are channeled into one continuous flow, with a coherent DJ performance as the
vehicle.

Tracklist:
A. In Aggregate
B. Carob

about:
One of techno's most joyous experimentators delivers two intriguing uptempo tracks. Instead of hitting
hard and heavy 'In Aggregate' and 'Carob' float delicately, with explosive detail blooming freely and
high above what feels rather like a bass-ladden undercurrent than a persistent kick drum foundation.
Both tracks expand on Stefan Goldmann's extensive polyrhythmic research and integrate tonal and
metric functions within the same units of sound. Somewhat radically, the central sound of 'Carob' is all
in one: beat, bassline and single-note melody. By contrast, 'In Aggregate' unfolds lush layers of
exuberant percussion, countered by rounded drops of bass and an occasional vocal snippet
ricocheting off of claustrophobia-inducing walls of glass.
As future-forward as they are organic, these offerings come with appropriately idiosyncratic artwork by
Jorinde Voigt. Printed on inside-out heavy paper cover + a printed inner sleeve.

B2. Ayon
B3. Valkumey

The Album:
Proprietary rhythm: Vector Rituals sees techno polymath Stefan Goldmann constructing polymetric rites of percussion. Synthesized from the ground up, timbral characteristics, metric properties, dynamic
expression and microrhythmic phrasing are shaped by the interactions of layered control voltage functions. The result is an assembly of abstract dances ranging from the intricate to the powerful.
Near-humanoid behaviour emerges from liquid patterns, laid out and brought to life by the freewheeling encounter of modular waveforms and snappy envelopes. Sounds evoke metallic textures
– ringing, scraping – and group into virtual shapes from tiny spikes to vast surfaces.
Some of the parametric relationships employed are as loose as to imply chance drifts. Others lock in with strict regularity as found in the 13 vs. 17 polymeter pattern of opening track 'Nayba'. By contrast,
in the strictly repetitive yet highly asymmetrical sequence of 'Yukagir' each metric step has its own uniquely irregular duration. The center piece of this collection is 'Ayon' with multiple autonomous and
highly agile timelines. Its constituent layers break away in radial fashion and fall back together at widely spaced points of congregation.
All compositions herein present powerful proof of the unlimited capacity of electronic music to yield new principles of organisation and to solidify their expression into clear-cut gestalt.

The Record:
Vector Rituals comes on 180g vinyl with artwork by highly acclaimed visual artist Jorinde Voigt, printed onto the inside-out cover sleeve and continued on the inner jacket.

E. Singing Wire
F. Geared

About:
This is the fnal chapter in a series of three 7" records which see Stefan Goldmann probing the upper
temporal reaches of techno. Clocking in at 150 bpm, these tracks are bold and blazing signals for a
collective return to highly energised club experiences. 'Singing Wire' is playfully swinging and feels
surprisingly natural and decelerated for what it is – while taking you decisively and rapidly to its farend destination. 'Geared' is raw voltage with all the sparks fying. More bouncy than harsh, these
tracks show impressively how diferent tempos allow for their own variety of joyful expression.
Beautifully packaged, all three 7"es come in a thick matte-black outer sleeve with front side cut outs
and refective-lacquer details, with individual colour-coded inner sleeves. Comes with download card.

About:
This is the second instalment in a series of three 7" records which see Stefan Goldmann probing the
upper temporal reaches of techno. Clocking in at 150 bpm, these tracks are bold and blazing signals
for a collective return to highly energised club experiences. 'Danke Dingo' pierces through a
stroboscopic grid of chords – 'Iron Hive' is one assertive rhythmic manifestation of menacingly
metallic swarms. More bouncy than harsh, these tracks show impressively how different tempos allow
for their own variety of joyful expression.
Beautifully packaged, all three 7"es come in a thick matte-black outer sleeve with front side cut outs
and reflective-lacquer details, with individual colour-coded inner sleeves. A card with a download code

Info:
In February 2020, the Philharmonie Berlin opened its gates for the first time in its history for a fully
blown electronic music program. Strom Festival continued for two days across three of the Berlin
landmark's jagged spaces. Stefan Goldmann had been invited to serve as the festival's artist-curator
and also performed its inaugural concert in the building's pentagonal Grand Hall. As much as this
event was without precedent for one of the world's leading classical music institutions, it is also an
uncannily typical match for Goldmann's rather unusual career path.
Though nominally techno, his music is distinguished by an ever-imaginative take on the form. From
exploring asymmetric rhythms to designing novel tuning systems to re-imagining the technological
base of electronic music – few have looked further beyond the genre's functional foundations.
Respectively, his music keeps appearing in contexts far removed from techno's club institutions –
featuring work with ensembles, dance companies, film makers and his own opera, as well as sitespecific performances at venues such as Kyoto's Honen-In Temple and LA's LACMA museum.
'Live At Philharmonie Berlin' is closely tailored to the Grand Hall, featuring a wealth of material
specifically developed to engage its architecture and acoustics. Apart from being a document that
brilliantly captures the Philharmonie's aural footprint with clear-cut synthetic probes, it also comes
close to being a retrospective of Goldmann's most striking formal ideas. Harking back to his early use
of wavetable synthesis for highly liquid units of pitch, timbre and dynamics, his recent
recontextualisations of industrial preset sounds and gradual shades of distortion fuse to shape the
soundscape of the one hour performance. These sounds then swirl through shifting microtonal grids
and freewheeling polyrhythms, solidifying into alien melodies, spiky transients and blocks of coloured
noise.

INFO:
Stefan Goldmann's 'Veiki' is a bold foray onto new rhythmic ground for machine-based dance music. While Veiki's sounds appear firmly grounded in contemporary techno, its pulse is neither based on the 4/4 tradition nor on the breakbeat continuum. The metres employed here are distinctly asymmetric – i.e. they never add up to binary entities, but are odd-numbered instead. With patterns of 7, 9 or 11, they offer possibilities for dislocating the center of gravity not available to standard rhythmic fare. Thus this may represent one of the few systematic efforts to move slamming machine techno onto an alternative rhythmic foundation: Real broken beat.

Asymmetric / irregular metres are part of the ancient music tradition of the Eastern Mediterranean as well as of South Eastern Europe. The patterns employed here are also present in the traditional music of Bulgaria with which Stefan Goldmann grew up. Citing no other aspects and using no 'ethnic' samples, these tracks lead a way to resolving the problem of how to bring the tools and traits of cutting edge electronic music to alternative traditions of music, or vice versa. Structure over surface.

Of course irregular metres have been visited for structural exploration for Western musicians of different backgrounds, such as Don Ellis, Steve Coleman or Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit who have all developed highly distinguished and idiosyncratic approaches in relation to these. Thus a reduction of the phenomenon to its core and emergence as a clear-cut and reproducible form appeared imminent for at least two decades. The inexplicable surprise though is that despite the ongoing rhythmic differentiation of breakbeat and techno this obvious step seems to have never been taken decisively. Now here it is.

Vital Sales Points:
- Live premiere from Buenos Aires streamed by MUTEK (full professional video online)
- Recent DJ set at Boiler Room
- Extensive Global Promo by Modern Matters / Macro.
- Upcoming event Feb 2020: Stefan Goldmann curates “Strom Festival” for Philharmonie Berlin, (world-leading classical music institution) featuring Nina Kraviz, KiNK, Robert Henke, Ryoji Ikeda etc.

Tracklist: A1 H Layout A2 Lick Kick B1 Heading Feel - Stefan Goldmann Remix B2 Heading Feel
Môme is quickly becoming something like France's new house god. His earthy vinyls for Housewax and FTWR got him a great following with record collectors and house DJs alike. Appearing on Appolonia's Fabric mix, several Boiler Room sets, and his "For One Day EP" at #1 on Decks Buzz Charts, Môme quickly wins the hearts of dancers and players. "Triple House" is probably the most amazing outing of his fresh style to date, with all 3 tracks being sweaty bouncing groove monsters. As if this wasn't enough, label honcho Stefan Goldmann cracks his funkiest cutting remix in ages to round the package off. It's unreal. 4 out of 4 are total winners to fall in love with and spawn children. Where else do you ever get this?

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.

Victoriaville finishes the exploration of Stefan Goldmann's sweet track archives with 3 unreleased House gems. The main tracks here are pure dancefloor material, with "Electric Bazaar" centering on in-depth drum design. "Zobel Network" provides a prime example of neurofunk. Hidden on the A side, "Chapter 2" is an early hint at Stefan's experimental edge. Essential!
Revisiting the years 2000 - 2005, "Emptying The Vaults" highlights the era of Stefan Goldmann's "UK years." Often his actual releases with Classic and Ovum reflected just a part of the possible. Now Victoriaville proudly steps in to let the whole thing shine. Restored from the original master tapes and cut by D&M's Rashad, here's some startling evidence of how deep the roots of House actually were in Berlin years before the hype set in.

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.

Joe Davies aka DJ Assam makes a welcome return to Smallville following his ‘Shields In Full Sunlight’ LP with the ‘Pardon My Late Response’ EP.

The past decade has seen DJ Assam releasing material for the likes of (his own imprint) Lehult, that he runs with a few friends, KANN Records, Super Tuff and Smallville Records sub-label Down by the Lake, as well as Djing regularly at hotspots across Europe and beyond.

Last year he made his debut on Smallville appearing under his own name- Joe Davies with a long player project. Here he returns with more of his distinctive deep and hypnotic style on a new EP for Smallville.

Up first on the package is ‘Errol Dub’, a six minute journey traversing through bouncy bass tones, airy chords, crisp shuffled percussion and modulating synth lines before ‘Unknown’ dives deeper via a reduced rhythm section, acid synth bleeps, soft bell tones and subtly naunced atmospherics. Opening the flip-side ‘1234 Love’ captures a more raw aesthetic with saturated drums at its core while an amalgamation of modulating synth licks and ethereal pads ebb and flow throughout. The Frankfurt Mix of ‘Hi Life’, known from Joe's mesmerizing Smallville album, rounds out the release, journeying into dub territory courtesy of spiralling echoes and slowly unfurling chords underpinned by a bumpy off-kilter drum groove.

Tracklist:

A1 Errol Dub
A2 Unknown
B1 1234 Love
B2 Hi Life (Frankfurt Mix)


All tracks written, produced and mixed by Joe Davies, additional production on B2 by Ossia, Vocals on B2 by Ocker

Release Info:
Tresor Records is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalogue of past releases that no other label in electronic
music would turn down. Three of the finest in this collection were contributed by Surgeon;
“Basictonalvocabulary”, “Balance” and “Force + Form”, which all came out between 1997 and 1999.
Surgeon’s inimitable combination of Detroit techno and post-industrial sounds emanating from his British
homeland found its fullest expression in these masterful trio of releases.
Following the release of Surgeon's first album in 5 years "Crash Recoil" earlier in 2023, Tresor Records have decided
that its high time to give these seminal albums another airing.

Release Info:

Tresor Records is delighted to welcome Rod Modell to its catalogue, with the release of his new album
Captagon.
Rod Modell needs no introduction, his various projects render him a master of techno. In repetition and barely
noticeable change, Modell resculptures perceptions. His sound-design echoes cinematic ethereality, where
ferric artefacts slam against percussion, rusty delays filter observation - the resulting web is a complex,
radiating ambience that etches a natural ebb and flow.
Transformative sounds alight from the outset, “Triangulation” recalls flickering harmonies and grains, a
tectonic swipe. Fast-paced dub techno emerges in “Reiki”, the disorienting clangs suggesting a step away
from his recent ambient excursions. “Ito” crunches the pulse further with insistent noise, into soaring
epiphanies of darkened transmissions.
Modell singularly uproots standard sonic hierarchies of techno production, crisp static as forceful as his
beats, a provocation of rhythm and noise. Unceasing in its fast tempo, “Jade” is trademark Tresor business -
the seismic sub-sonics underpin a momentous drive, with reverberated vocal inflections disfiguring warped,
dancing materials. “Scrawler” is upfront and direct, a slamming groove and swaying chords diusing
ethereality. Enter vast chambers of smeared minimalism.
Where Modell’s recent releases had indicated a priority for ambient sounds, this new album extends Modell’s
essential vision within techno. Closing track “Air-Port” shows Modell at his most crucial best - an ethereal
colossus of sub-bass weight and morphing geometry.

RELEASE INFO:
LNS and DJ Sotofett return to Tresor Records with The Reformer EP. This new record moves forward with a crystal clear,
direct and controlled output, leaving their debut album "Sputters" as an end-mark of a sonic era. Here they evolve into a
topography full of contrasts, where harsh digital artefacts, scanner sounds, and vocoder voices cast melodic colors across
cold landscapes of club-ready electro.
"Reform" plunges deep into an electro sound splintered by binary bits and submerged pads that beckon a serene melody,
which echoes and loops to entangle with mutant voices, noises and buzzes. "Plexistorm" leads with synthesized strings and
arpeggiated acidic bleeps until a thick bass emerges, sounding almost like a long-lost Analord record. Heavily shapeshifting
with eects processing, it proves primitive movements in dubbing are the perfect counterpart to this precise electro sound.
With "Electric Terraforming", the duo uncover charged energy sources required for life on another planet, as broad synth pads
and memorable vocoder harmonies draw this earworm to a close. Mighty washes of dub rule on "909 The Controller" as a
skipping beat invites a slow, rippling melody and percolating reverberated synths.
The vinyl record has significantly dierent sonics to the digital release, and, exclusively, each side ends in a locked groove
produced by DJ Sotofett.
