With music constantly evolving and artists coming out of the wood work exponentially, finding music expressed and published in the form of the artist is hard to come by nowadays. This is not the case with Traum Schallplatten and their history recording with 500 plus artists. Each individual artist brings their music to the table with uniqueness and passion in their own form. This is showcased on the series, Tour De Traum, which all compilations are mixed by Riley Reinhold, founder of Traum Schallplatten Records.
The concept behind Tour De Traum started way back when there was the series called “Interkontinental” by Traum. A series to discover new artists of electronic music in the beginning of the 21st century.
The defunked series was picked up by Riley Reinhold aka Triple R (in former day) and transformed into Tour De Traum. We asked Riley what started ‘Tour De Traum’?
Riley Reinhold – My personal gift of compiling music goes back to the mid 80’s when I compiled early electronic music and mainly cool jazz and Bebob. I had my first lesson in compilation when I recorded radio programs of John Peel ( former BBC1, BBC World service, etc) and boiled them down to what I felt was the essence. It really is a personal and subjective affair by any means but it is me. In a way the label TRAUM goes back to my collection skill because the first release ever we did in 1998 : Elektronische Music aus Buenos Aires was a compilation I compiled while staying in that city working with the Goethe Institute.
Question – Was the direction for the 7th release of ‘Tour De Traum’ based on original music or more commercialism?
Riley Reinhold – Music. Yes, music can be music if you let it be music.The project gives room and attention to people that are really thinking in terms of music. You have a lot of people mostly DJs that just want to be in the scene. They do anything to get in it..understandable…but do you really only want music which is aimed at your personal club?
Question -Who arranges and selects songs for the mix? A collaboration or you buried in the studio with lots of listening and review?
Riley Reinhold – Selecting and arranging the music is my passion. I choose all tracks for all the labels. On the recording quality side, I work with my friend and mastermind Emanuel Geller who masters all our music, he is my closest adviser. We sit there and I say what I think how it sounds before he says something…to see if I get the right feeling and if not right…I am glad Emanuel told me the details which are important why we should investigate further or demand corrections in the mix.
Excited to play, listen and share Tour De Traum Vol. 8 which includes some of the most influential artists in electronic music today, including Dominik Eulberg, Max Cooper, Extrawelt and Nick Dow to name a few. We want to thank Traum Schallplatten and Riley Reinhold for sharing their passion with us and for the continuation of releasing great music from amazingly talented artists.

Wake up every morning in a way that will change your life for the better. This is exactly how Egokind and Ozean execute the feeling in this duo mix for Proton Radio.
After having recorded the well received “Diamond Days” in February 2014, the Berlin producer Egokind instantly attracted listeners and clubbers worldwide for his skillfully composed electronic music, bringing different styles together, ranging from wrapped in cotton wool electronica to electronic techno music with soul.
Egokind, who also plays in an indie band, seeks for unconventional recording solutions when it comes to formulating a language of his own. This has also made it into this new EP, creating another unique piece of music.
The title track “Nothingness” according to Egokind has been one of the highlights in his recent live sets and so we were excited to have it released on Traum.
The track has the unorthodox Egokind arrangement which starts with a massive kick drum that just vaporizes as if by a magic spell and is replaced by a two melodic sequences which are the heart of the track. Embracing themselves, wrestling with each other and in the course of the track… slowing creating also a mild and soothing quality which takes you gently by the hand! But that is just summing up what roughly happens, so you better judge for yourself.
The evolution of the track “Nothingness” for us is no doubt another recording masterpiece of Egokind that fits nicely to the latest Traum releases.
He recorded “Fatigue” with his pal Ozean, which shows a much more withdrawn quality you come across when listening to indie music. “Fatigue” glides and wanders through different stages with ease, sometimes stops and pauses inhales and slowly builds up the groove again as if still distracted or wounded by something. In this respect this track is a very modern take on electronic music, expressing the inner self rather emotionally instead of committing too any classic structures and by that creating a language of its own.
The third track “One Love” is a live affair of fractured and cut up sounds, joyous and dispersed in its structure. Abstract beats that tumble, melodies that crumble it all makes sense in the end and connects if you will smoothly to our english artist Rob Clouth with his “Cloud Complex” EP.
We are looking forward to Egokind’s album on Traum in October 2014.

Here in California we don’t have too much precipitation. I felt compelled to record the drips and droplets I heard outside on my balcony. This was a result of the inspiration and where I am in life. This is a Raw recording with very little prep time and with no direction but what I was feeling. Enjoy!
I used FL studio 11 producer edition with basic patterns. I used Sytrus and Harmless VSTs with my own settings. I used an array of effects in the racks but still very minimal. Raw recording crafting into one for the album to be released late 2014. 🙂
