The elusive German producer known as Traumprinz has unveiled ‘Lost In Dreams‘, the first ever physical release under the alias Irini. Issued via All Possible Worlds / Réunion, the project arrives as a lavish six-vinyl box set paired with a high-resolution digital download, cementing a body of work that has lived in myth since its first appearance four years ago.
Back in September 2021, a three-hour Soundcloud mix surfaced without warning under the name Irini – Lost In Dreams. Spanning more than twenty tracks, it was less a traditional DJ set than a drifting collage of ambient passages, broken rhythms and euphoric surges. Henry Ivry at Resident Advisor described it as a “shapeshifting narrative” that blurred the line between club functionality and private reverie. Since then, fans have speculated whether the material would ever take a more permanent form.
That moment has now arrived. Lost In Dreams box set contains thirty seven tracks spread across six records. Together they sketch out a world both intimate and expansive, where trance-like arpeggios dissolve into weightless ambient textures, and moments of melancholy give way to flashes of ecstatic release.
In an era dominated by streaming, Traumprinz’s decision to anchor Irini in a tactile format feels like a statement of intent: this is music to be lived with, not merely consumed. Just as important is what the release signals for the artist’s mythology. Traumprinz has long been associated with aliases – Prince Of Denmark, DJ Metatron, Prime Minister Of Doom – each carving out a distinct space in an interconnected universe.
With Irini, that universe extends further, offering a more dream-focused counterpart to the producer’s already expansive catalogue. Four years after the alias was first glimpsed, Lost In Dreams provides its physical foundation.
‘Lost In Dreams’ is scheduled for release on 28 October. Order the box set from Bandcamp.
