Having just returned from Goodwood festival, the duo has completed their newest meticulous craftedrecording for Traum. It has been a whole year since their last release on Traum, with a lot of touring toremote parts of the world and building up their new studio, so we expect people to be looking forward totheir newest invention. Microtrauma have been a Traum label stalwart since March 2011 withtheir Colorblind EP and the Olivenkernkomplex EP maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanshipof its predecessors and even adds some new striking perspectivesOlivia starts rather simplistic as a dramatic tale and evokes images of early Plastikman trax. Its machinenature in the course of the track swells with organic respiration and makes it a sensuous piece of music thatnever boils over but simmers on the surface creating a kinetic catchiness par excellence. This is not only agreat opener of the track but a very fine blend of stripped rhythms and synth pads. Microtrauma’s strength isthe fine balance they create through the knowledge of playing live for years now. Like so many oftheir tracks in the past also this track has cosmic energy going.Track two features Olivia in a remix version by Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile.

Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile have written astrong remix which will make a lot of people happy and put a smile on their faces.Cortex pumps liquid grooves and triggers tiny melodies. Fantastic stop and go rhythms are taking placehere... synth pads and sub-bass pressure are the matrix of the track... leading it into an exceptional deepand electrifying break. This is a breathtaking break you will very rarely come across... it can connect to thebest moments of Klaus Schulze. A goose skin track and a a big one for all people who like to explore the inbetweens and the new face of melodic techno.Inter Aural is the epic builder for this EP. Their Fx treatments and plenty of teasing climaxes... spitting outfuturistic and alienated synth pads... embedding them in soundscapes with a very cinematic sound design:This all makes it a powerful piece of hypnotic music and definitely a highlight on this EP. Other than that itis simply a perfect track to loose yourself in... it offers a highly seductive comfort zone of tasty sounds.This is a track you can dance to in the clubs as well as listen at home.
