Info:
2016. Twentyfive years after Der Dritte Raum's first release on Sven Väth's Harthouse and Eye Q label, Andreas Krüger aka Der Dritte Raum locked in his studio again to create Electric Friends, an album ostensibly meant to make up for his previous album Aydszieyalaidnem and it marks a shift to a more pop direction. Though Krüger is lumped in with all other electronic music producers, on Electric Friends, his approach is to create a meeting place for techno rhythms and sonic experimentation from the perspective of the dancefloor, and a song-friendly one at that. Befitting the club setting, the tracks are long (twelve on CD and seven on double vinyl ), but they're crammed with interesting stuff. This album is not a clinical exercise in the textural possibilities inherent in static; Der Dritte Raum is tracking pop hooks and disco beats, and he even throws a couple of trance influenced tunes into the mix of the album.
The first - and title track on this excellent album is called 'Electric Friends', a brilliant tune that highlights a smart way for listeners to approach the record. It showcases an extremely catchy lead synthesizer melody, underpinned by a sharp electronic backing. The track is suitably catchy without ever approaching raucousness. "Electric Friends' reflects the wide range of Krüger's musical interests, and there are some homages. "Command Line" has the odd distinction of being an Front 242 influenced track (in terms of beats and synths). 'Wasserstoff' is laid-back, starting with house-chord sounds, before getting all running noisy.Uptempo, danceable instrumental techno dominates the album, but the detours are frequent enough to make "Electric Friends" works as a varied, complete document with feel-good body music.
So why is it called 'Electric Friends'? Well. Krüger apparently named it so because he thought that all friends who are involved in the D3R production like live co/pilot Ralf Uhrlandt, Booker, Management and Graphic designer as well as the analogue studio environment of course work electric.

Product info:
When it comes to electronic music and techno music there are few cities that have conserved and upheld the foundational roots laid down by its pioneers more so than Berlin. One of the center-most characters in this movement is the inimitable Der Dritte Raum. Aydszieyalaidnem is the latest offering from Krueger"s Der Dritte Raum project. Following up the 2013 release Morgenland, this new album with the unspellable but warmth name is stepping away from the melodic/harmonic forms of previous works, presenting a more club orientated proposition. Bathed and soaked in a warm berlin studio setup, Aydszieyalaidnem draws on Krueger's formative influences of electronic club music, relying on hardware programming and sequencing with a lot of rattling and sharp percussion cutting through simple melody lines and low-slung grooves. From house to techno, from human- and machine-created rhythms, to sweet voices and warped vocals, to blissful melodies and mindNew

A – Hale Bopp – RICARDO VILLALOBOS REMIX B1 – Hale Bopp – CAVAAN REMIX B2 – Hale Bopp – DER DRITTE RAUM ISON ADAPTION REMIX
After releasing ‚Morgenland’ album Der Dritte Raum Record's stable drops their eight EP, bringing up Hale Bopp, which some of you may know from trance shenanigans back in the roaring 90’s. What makes it even more better then the original classic track are the re-interpretations. Ricardo Villalobos & Cavaan flashes their acclaimed producer talents and their works are both very original and quite different from each other. Since his epics like 'Easy Lee' and 'Dexter,' Villalobos has kept stretching out his music, and his Hale Bopp version is full of rhythms and more changing than ever -- meandering in ever-widening circles. Same is Cavaan’s remix. It’s drifting on their own with spiraling barbed rhythms that emerge from couplings of analogue machines. The Ison Adaption on B2 is remodeled by Krüger himself and on all remixes the main-melody is kept, although no samples are used, making it rather different from the original.

UPC: 827170130920 Release : 18. 05. 2013
This is the thirteenth full-length release by producer DER DRITTE RAUM (Andreas Krüger). His discography is as stunning as the list of his live appearances. There's not a soul with the slightest interest in electronic music who has never danced to a track by this extraordinary talented producer. He's one of the few that has truly created his own signature sound. Krüger's trademark is his excessive use of hardware intruments in the studio as well as during his live-performances. For his new output he recorded live drum sessions, and clarinet player and a bunch of vintage instruments are used - like black holes, they suck in and spit out the most varied influences. MORGENLAND is DER DRITTE RAUM's latest album-CD and could be considered an immaculate conception album. What is so memorable about this thirteen new tracks is the way it strikes the perfect balance between studio-experimentation and groovy techno without ever breaking stride or losing focus. The selection conveys a palpable deepness, occasionally harboring a touch of melancholy, yet never becoming overwhelming, for at its peaks. There's nothing brash or over-blown here, all the real action is nestled between the beats - while the grooves he concocts are all so earthy and raw that the kick drum functions as an alternative rather than a necessity.

Ladies and Gentleman: Der Dritte Raum is back - and this time, it's not only with new sounds in well-known Krüger style, but also with a new label platform: Der Dritte Raum Records! Fresh and dreamy, that's the sound of the first release, with four tracks full of groove, warmth and the distinctive Der Dritte Raum-funk on board. On all tracks of this release Andreas Krüger proves he has a firm hold on his analogue machinery - as always - but also shows his connection to contemporary machine music as well as Krautrock and psychedelic sounds. Inspired by his band project Von Trips, numerous analogue recordings entered the new material. We're ready to take on summer with this first release on our new label: warm layers and playful details skillfully surround the swinging grooves - you can almost feel the soft breeze of a beautiful summer night touch your skin. Just wonderful...
