  • Traum head honcho Triple R (aka Riley Reinhold) and Trapez artist Alex Under will headline the next Süd Electronic party on March 31st in London. Traum Schallplatten is the Cologne-based powerhouse run by Triple R (aka Riley Reinhold) and his wife Jacqueline Klein. The label is home to five separate imprints: Traum, Trapez, Trapez Ltd, My Best Friend (aka MBF) and MBF Ltd and has had recent releases by artists including Dominik Eulberg, Cosmic Sandwich (aka Steve Barnes), Nathan Fake, Audio Werner, Jeff Samuel, 3 Channels, Daso, Break3000 and emerging artists Alex Under and Shane Berry. The label is also famed for its compilation series, Selection and Elektronische Musik - Interkontinental, which will see the fifth title in the series released in May. On Friday March 31st, Süd Electronic will present a Traum/Trapez/MBF showcase at The Departure in London featuring live performances from Madrid's Alex Under and Portable (of Spectral and Scape fame) and DJ sets from Triple R and Süd Electronic's Lakuti and Marco Shuttle. Madrid's Alex Under has become one of the most sought after techno artists in Spain following two very successful 12"s, one EP and one full length album on Trapez. He has also released several 12"s on his own label CMYK. His productions are based on deconstructed sounds, hypnotic melodies, over blunt electronic rhythms and fine basslines, and range from minimal and deep techno to more playful tech house. Alex Under's latest release for Trapez, 'Fe En Erratas' will come out April 10, 2006. In addition to running the Traum label, Riley Reinhold also finds time to be co-editor of Germany's De:Bug magazine, compile the Selection mix series for Trapez (click here to read the RA review of Selection 4) and produce, with his latest release 'Friends Are Silence' also due out in April, 2006. Süd Electronic presents Traum/Trapez/MBF at The Departure in Aldgate, London on March 31st. Doors open at 11pm.
