“Colorado,” inspired by the famous Drop City, signals a new direction for the label. This shift emphasizes recording a wider selection of instruments. Produced entirely in Berlin, the album showcases the iconic sound of the Moog Matriarch, a Fender Troublemaker, and drums from the Nord 3P. In addition to the digital release, a limited edition 12” vinyl is available + riso-printed posters.

Written, recorded, and mixed in Berlin, “Gravity Dance” was released during the pandemic. It consolidates a collection of tracks that cover a wide spectrum of styles, linked by the signature leftfield Tripsitterklang sound.

The first single from “Gravity Dance” began as a jam session, later expanded into a polished mix. It emerged during a period of intense learning, as I delved into building custom instruments with Reaktor. This blend of live performance and digital craftsmanship became a hallmark of the album, reflecting my evolving approach to music production and pushing the boundaries of my sonic exploration.

The 2nd single from “Gravity Dance” is inspired by Hamburg’s port, contrasting protected goods with lives lost in the Mediterranean. Its sound mimics a boat in stormy seas, echoing the perilous journeys of migrants. This auditory metaphor highlights the paradox of a world where commodities often receive more care than human lives.

Telstar 401, launched in December 1993 by AT&T Skynet, was a communications satellite designed to transmit television signals for major U.S. networks. On January 11, 1997, the satellite suddenly lost all communication, likely due to a massive solar storm that occurred days earlier. The satellite effectively became “space junk,” remaining in its geostationary orbit but no longer functional.

This release is a collection of tracks created in several cities across different times. “Orlando” is a house track directly inspired by Format’s “Dance 1992,” an Orlando Voorn project I discovered in Amsterdam. “Meteorito” is one of those tracks I don’t remember creating; it blew me away when rediscovered. “White” is meant as a DJ tool and an exercise in minimalism, created in Paris and Berlin.

The first EP was finalized and released in Berlin, even though the tracks were started in Hamburg. “Rhythm” originated from a memory of a set by Tom Trago at Shelter in Amsterdam. “Everything” is an exercise in epic big room trance that features a huge, goosebump-provoking drop. “Shiver” is an introspective track created while being quite sick at home.

This debut EP was crafted across Amsterdam, Paris, and Barcelona, primarily using Renoise as the DAW. Despite limited tools and resources, the production was heavily influenced by Amsterdam’s iconic club Trouw. “5” evolved through numerous iterations before becoming the 9-minute opus it is today. “Ultramarino” is a romantic underwater journey, while “Save Limit” provides an epic conclusion.
