German producer Florian Kupfer is reissuing his back catalogue through his own Lifetrax label, beginning with Lifetrax Vol. 1, a run of sought-after tracks finally back on vinyl after years out of print.
Kupfer first came to wider attention in 2013 with his debut white label record, Lifetrax, released on Ron Morelli’s L.I.E.S. imprint. The 12″ catapulted his name into the limelight thanks to the dreamlike pitched-up vocals of “Feelin”, and the title track became one of that year’s highlights and an anthem of the self-established lo-fi house community.
Those cuts capture his unmistakable blend of raw, gritty house and stripped-back machine funk. “Lifetrax” and “Feelin” open the record, with a Dub Mix of “Feelin” on the flip before “This Society (Betrayal Mix)” closes. Four tracks of early underground favourites return to the turntables, and essential material from one of Berlin’s most distinctive underground producers.
With the series now under way on his own imprint, it marks the first time Kupfer’s early work has been gathered under his own control, and the start of a wider reissue campaign for his catalogue.
Lifetrax Vol. 1 is scheduled for release on 12th February 202. Listen to clips and pre-order vinyl from Inverted Audio Record Store.
