#51 Feat. New Releases in Melodic House & Techno

What does distance mean? When you are far away from home and can only recreate your familiar environment behind closed eyes by remembering how it was, who you love, and what you miss, then distance is something very connecting. This distance is what Julian Schraven sought when the Cologne-based producer and electronic live musician left his homeland to explore the southern part of Europe for several months, to find out if and why he wants to return. Packed with him were a bunch of ideas of what something like a new sound could be. Julian Schraven has been on stage for over 20 years and until last year was one of the two heads behind the "gázel" project. In the summer of 2022, his debut novel "In den Kronen" was published, in which he tackled the theme of rave, and since his return to Cologne, all signs have pointed to a new beginning. "Heads & Teeth" is Julian Schraven's first EP as a solo musician. It includes the title track "Heads & Teeth," a sexy breakbeat sprinkled with various samples from Julian's wide-ranging record collection, the driving track "Tautological Lights," and the dancefloor ballad "Leyendeckerstraße," which represents a very personal declaration of love to his home in Cologne Ehrenfeld.
