We are proud to have discovered a new artist for Traum who will boost the cinematic and electronic side of the label. The debut sees a sound evolving with Thomas Bjerring that is emotionally deep to the heart, masterfully produced and unique. The a-side >Stratus< moves like fog over woods and landscapes. It is rich and mighty in texture but light as well. It is somehow detached and at the same time very touching... a master piece of techno.
One could say this is the Scandinavian ghost of early Detroit techno soul... but what does this lead us to. Listen to the magic of this epic... which is over faster than youd think and if you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of the pride and the sadness which live in this track side by side. >2.45< is a atmospheric pop Song with vocals by David Skog... The track >Republique< also dwells on post Detroit feelings, Mobys early works or such classic as Souffle >Acid Eiffel<. It is a techno tune with atmosphere, maybe a bit lighter and less rich than >Stratus<. It is based on an acid bassline that carries the smoothness and deepness of these mentioned tracks and is similar in composition to >Stratus<. No tool, no superimposed craziness, 100% music.
