Obviously right after Sneak Illuminator EP, the Illumination LP arrives. And it is an illumination worthy of the name as the German musical blacksmith delivers here luminous musical landscapes for his first ever gatefold triple-LP album. A very important addition in this artist's already extended discography and an important step for Goldmin too, mostly as the label is celebrating their ten-year anniversary in 2022.

ECHO 085EP
|
Echocord welcomes the return of STL with Take Off Music EP, comprised of three murky, dubbed-out cuts from the acclaimed German producer. Stephan Laubner, better known as STL has long been one of the most respected producers in the underground electronic music scene. Racking up releases on the likes of Smallville, Perlon, Echospace [Detroit], his own Something, and, of course, Echocord where he returns here. "Fluxxy" leads on the package, embracing STL's signature style via, dusty analog drums, choppy dub stabs, penetrating low end flutters, and airy atmospherics before "Dub Plus" lays focus on a stripped-back, perfectly balanced drum groove, hazy field recordings and bubbling chord delays and bell chime synths. "Magic Thing" then rounds out the release, fusing FM synth melodies and gritty bass stab sequences with thunderous subs and Laubner's robust rhythmic style. Once again, STL delivers a touch of class with a contemporary dub techno style for Echocord.

ECHO 081EP
|
Stephan Laubner, better known as STL, is regarded for his unique twist on dubbed-out house and techno sounds. "Lost Harbour" leads Take Your Seats EP with textural field recordings, crunchy distorted rhythms, and an amalgamation of snaking bass, synth, and piano lines, intertwining and unfolding throughout. "Mr. Sinister" switches the vibes over to menacing bass swells, fluttering subs, gritty percussion, and an underlying tension before "Sensimilla" edges into more ethereal territory with spiraling dub chords, shuffled hats, and winding atmospherics.

The elusive STL returns with a three-track EP on his newfound home of Dark Matters. Nonzero Sonics is the sixth release on the label, and their first to emerge in 2017. Nonzero Sonics explores dark and twisted sentiments in avant-garde structures, consistently executed with impeccable detail. "No More Words" meditates on elements of dub and techno in an extended form, whilst "Smooth Selector" establishes a stripped-back groove replete with sub frequencies and cavernous echoes. Closing track "Out Of The One" places peculiar harmonies in a tranquil framework, exemplifying the diversity of a producer with true dedication to his craft.

MFR 002EP

Mysterious hardware tinkerer Stephan "STL" Laubner is back with three tracks and a locked groove on the London-based imprint Mutual Friend Recordings. "Mind Puzzlin" is exactly that, with a luscious, twisted lead line accompanied by STL's signature rough and overdriven percussion. The repeated guitar plucks of the more ominous "Smile Function" will plant themselves into your consciousness. STL builds the groove expertly while retaining an otherworldly feel. "Wrong" is a real groover with a growling bassline accompanied by weird and wonderful synth patterns. The locked groove, titled "Listen Up! Loop," is a nice bonus for the more adventurous DJs out there.

Double LP version. Stephan Laubner aka STL is a myth. A legend. Releasing music on Perlon, Smallville and his own label Something, he became a secret star to the worldwide scene of contemporary techno and house music. But still he seems to be an unknown person. On his new album for Smallville Records, STL is back with a deep excursion into dubbed-out science of sound. What makes the sound of STL so special? What is behind those deep 4/4 tracks that make you feel like not staying on this planet anymore? There is a secret behind all of it. The depth of certain sounds, some almost hidden samples, the structure -- Stephan Laubner is a scientist who creates a mystic microcosm around every tune. On the eighth Smallville album, STL dives deep into echo spaces. Whether you call the facade dub or house music, purists will find this realness -- the authentic echoes, the perfect mixing. But Laubner breaks through the wall with a deeply touching Rhodes melody or some alienated sounds reaching your mind like messages from the beyond. This music is talking to you, it seduces you. And once you're into it, once you're feeling it, you want to stay forever.
