Klartraum

(2022) Klartraum-music.com KLARTRAUM [Lucidflow, Soma, Darkroom Dubs] played live at Fabric London UK, Circoloco @ DC10 Ibiza, Kater Blau, Tresor Berlin Germany, Burning Man 2019, Lightning In a Bottle Festival USA, Kazantip Ukraine, Brown Alley Melbourne Australia, India… Silhouetted against the RGB pulse of the club lighting rig you see two figures in the DJ booth – one female, bouncing with effervescent energy and feeding off the buzz from the dancefloor, and one male, working the controls with the subdued calm of a Zen master. From the speakers comes the expected throb, but something is different. Rather than formulaic kick-hat-snare metronome, it is as if a widescreen switch has been flipped, the periphery of your hearing being licked with unknown sound waves that had been criminally absent from your night. You are listening to KLARTRAUM. Since 2006 the duo Nadja Lind and Helmut Ebritsch have been crafting audio under the KLARTRAUM banner in a unique way: From sound design to mastering is carried out using two independent synced workstations in one continuous flow from a blank canvas to the finished piece. And co-run the much admired Lucidflow label, notching up admirers such as progressive icon Hernan Catteneo, French techno legend Laurent Garnier, figureheads of deep Dubfire, Seth Troxler, legendary techno outfit Slam and one of the musical directors of fabric Terry Francis. 5 studio albums: Evolution, Secret Moon, E (Enneagram), Void Universes, Manifestation
