Traum Nacht: Vlada, mad miran, Kuba '97

About

A triple bill of selectors who all take the long way round. Vlada has spent two decades turning floors inside out. Russian-born, Berlin-based, equally at home in understated hypnotic house as in slamming acid, and a regular fixture at Hoppetosse, Houghton and Dekmantel. Back at Traum for the second time after last year. mad miran comes over from Rotterdam, where she works the counter at Clone Records when she isn't playing Boiler Room or Dekmantel; she calls it playing vibes rather than genres, which in practice means electro, breaks, IDM and techno arriving in whatever order the room deserves. And Kuba '97 closes the circle with '90s tribal techno laced with modern psychedelia: spiralling, chiming, and only ever moving further in.
