After nearly a decade away from wax, Traumprinz finally presses Life on vinyl. The enigmatic Hannover-based producer last released physically with Diva in 2016, and his debut album Mothercave – released on Giegling in 2013 – remains a milestone of the era.
Life has existed in the ether since 2023, circulating as a Soundcloud upload that quietly accumulated devotion among those in the know. Now it gets the physical treatment it deserves.
The 16-track album is DJ-focused material in the purest sense: deep, hypnotic, looped and psychedelic – tracks built to hold a floor and bend it. From the submerged drift of opener ‘im rausch der tiefe’ through to the raw propulsion of ‘trippyaf’ and the textural weight of ‘broken home’, it moves with the kind of quiet authority Traumprinz has always commanded.
For those who’ve been streaming it for the past three years, this is the release you’ve been waiting for. For everyone else – dive in.
Life is out now via All Possible Worlds. Buy a copy from Bandcamp.
