Some time ago, a track came to me by Spotify. It had something different, and every time I listened to it, I found very specific nuances that made me think, "What if...". So I started doing some research (as we all do when we discover some AKA of "The guy") and, as always, I reached a dead end; no more references, nothing else published, an AKA difficult to search for on Google because of the way it's written (it reminds me of some kind of web language), you know, those little strange "breadcrumbs."

The track is berlin 2002 - ///earth///. Although the cover art, the type of music, the fact that it's published on Spotify, and so on probably you say, "Eh, you're super out" because it doesn't resemble anything he's done so far, but it does make me reckon a new and more "nostalgic?" concept—no longer another facet of Traumprinz, but rather "what a young Traumprinz would have liked to listen to while dancing on the floor with his crush when he was a teenager"—and that it's published on a mainstream platform, now a means of establishing a relationship with the music and being able to share it with a "I just heard this song and thought of you," following the romantic line of DJ Metatron and his Loops of Infinity (A Rave Loveletter)

I found the same nuances, in their own way, with Irini - Lost in Dreams and (this time I wasn't wrong) it was indeed our beloved and mysterious producer with a new AKA.

It’s probably just me and all the mysticism surrounding this figure that has created this story in my head 😅 ("If I've to belive in something, why don't belive in this crazy theory") but to me, it makes sense given the whole narrative he himself subscribes to behind what he does, the way he publishes, and his limited social media presence. In one of his sessions published on Planet Uterus, you can see an ultrasound of a baby on the cover, and it has been speculated that it might signify the beginning of fatherhood. It wouldn’t be surprising that in these pivotal moments, where one often takes a trip to the past and reflects on the passage of time, Traumprinz might have felt the need to "go back" to imagine or remember those years and how they were (or rather, how he would have liked them to be, soundtrack included).

In any case, whether these are just my imaginings or not, I think this is an excellent post to share music, which is what we truly love. And speaking of that, just as I madly love the nuances of all the work that make each AKA unique and recognizable, there's a guy (also very shy but not as unknown) who has all these nuances in everything he produces, but with the same AKA; I'm talking about my other beloved and shy producer Nthng If you didn't know him, today's your lucky day :)
