Release Notes :
We welcome Microtrauma with their debut on Traum. Microtrauma is a new cosmic
force on the Traum planet. Microtrauma have been making music since 1995 but it
was not until 2007 that they had their break through and real success with their
EPs. Their biggest hit so far was Aktin which was played by people like John
Digweed, DJ Sasha, James Zabiela and eventually ended up in a BBC Essential mix
by James Zabiela. Microtrauma have played live together with Bodzin and
Huntemann in their hometown and had great feedbacks coming from them and other
associated classy DJs. They have released a remix on Traum for Max Cooper's
Stochastisch Serie which marks their good relationship with Max. For their
Colourblind EP on Traum they have attempted an even more sophisticated sound
construction succeeding in three brand new tracks. The a-side Saturation makes a
spiritual link to electronic avant-garde of the 70ies, connecting to the greater
and dynamic moments of musicians like Klaus Schulze, still feeding the techno
corpus with enough heavy bassline and kick to tweak dance floors.Saturation has
sonic parts that give way to gooseflesh and a sun soaked intensity that makes it
a daylight track.Diffusion is soulful as well, maybe more linear and even more
ghostly and haunting, spiced up with electronic sounding basslines, filtered
voices from the distance, heavy delays and a pounding techno beat.Contrast as
the title itself suggests, is very different to the other two tracks. The beat
relies on a break beat and the musical theme may as well be the most adventurous
of all tracks. Steering towards different levels, all parts are connected to
each other in a magic way... the spirit is kind of gloomy and bright with nice
feedbacks and a seductive mildness and musicality that makes it so unique and
cool.The extra mixes come by Max Cooper, Ryan Davis and Richie G. Max Cooper has
twisted Contrast towards an 4 to the floor beat but has enhanced it with a
lightness and soothing quality that provides Contrast with an ethereal and airy
quality not to be matched by anything in the files of melodic techno we know of.
Ryan Davis has chosen to remix Saturation making it an epic track with stronger
changes into clubiness... we can feel a bit of Paul Kalkbrenner substance
here.The third bonus track comes from 17 year Canadian producer Richie G who has
already released music for John Digweed's label Bedrock. Richie has stripped the
original of "Saturation" to the bare essentials making it even more accessible
for DJs.
