For all Dominik Eulberg fans we are re-releasing his album "Heimische Gefilde" for the first time on vinyl. This release sums up some of the iconic early releases he had with TRAUM.

Our second release on TRAUM in April comes from German producer Garnee. And we might just want to hint at the fact that we think this is one of the deepest EPs we have released for a long time. Garnee is also a person with a very vivid past of producing music in studios for more than 35-years and you will directly hear the richness of his sounds and the hypnotic quality which is outstanding.

We welcome the Italian duo Phase Twice on TRAPEZ. We have picked them up at an early stage while they are still hot and we think they have a lot to offer revitalizing the genre of techno.
The UK based artist Philias has in the past recorded for various recording houses some of them being very famous. He has also recorded for Apple Music and various companies so now he comes well equipped with a lot of knowledge to contribute a full length EP on TRAUM. Philias makes the deep side of techno an adventure voyage which is worth checking out. More->

After nearly 2 decades, we are looking forward to release the new album "Lights Out" by London based artist duo The MFA. It will available on vinyl and 3 extra tracks in the digital version which are worth checking out, especially the vocal house track " Girl Ahead"!

Cover photo was shot by the colognes photo journalist Steffanie Haarkamp, who was most present at the time of early techno debauchery. More->

The German DJ and producer Ron Flatter is part of the very lively Leipzig techno scene which has been recognized for some years now as inventive and unique. Creating a world of their own choice this is all about their own identity shaped also by their DIY ideas!

we draw from the richness of our artist rooster the German producer Greene for a solo ep. Greene has recorded for Anja Schneider's "Mobilee" in the past and had a great performance on a recent Tour De Traum.The artist has a great performance with our actual community worldwide and contributes to our idea of modern melodic house and techno. The ep also included a remix by Roman Adam from Oliver Huntermann’s label Senso Sounds. More->
With the 24th Tour De Traum release we can see a development towards deep intricate melodic techno with a lot of details in the composition. The scene has emancipated itself over the years and has moved away from the big DJs into a field where song writing is more central. It is no longer about long repetitions and the dance floor alone but also about CHANGE and an experience away from the dance floor. For this reason, this release is a mirror of its time with exciting, bold releases from Mexico, Canada, Israel, Ecuador, Japan, Iran, England, Ireland, Argentina, Germany, Italy, USA, Romania, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Turkey, Russia, Norway, Spain, Poland, The Netherlands and Greece. More->
With our new release on TRAUM we are returning to our starting point: the city of Buenos Aires, where it all began for our label.

What makes Carsten Halm so significant is how he picks up feelings/emotions with only a few sounds to install a collective feeling, strong with his fans and new listeners. His „Licht Und Schatten" ep picks up on the graphical side on the animal series of his previous eps designed by Daniela Thiel. Available on vinyl and digital! More->
Also TRAUM you can witness romantic & deep music that can be understood as a voyage into the mind of Jan Steiner. Inspired also by the wonderful shores of Sligo bay in Ireland!We rarely release a full album as a first release on our label. But Jan Steiner's 10 track album is so convincing with it's strong fairytale concept and wonderful compositions. The album ends with the piano bonus track "Father Reads" for all of you who like Nils Frahm. More->
