Traum Schallplatten proudly presents: Jacob Korn "THE AIR EP"!
After a longer break Jacob Korn is back with a stunning new release on Traum featuring great forgotten tracks from 2008-2012.
Fans of deep, raw house music infused with Detroit’s gritty energy are in for a treat. Known for his standout releases on Permanent Vacation, Dolly, Running Back, and Uncanny Valley, Jacob Korn has made a name for himself by blending the soulful groove of house with the raw, unpolished power of Detroit techno. For Korn the genre of raw house music is fundamentally important, serving as the foundation on which he builds his intense, electrifying soundscapes.
His commitment to excellence is evident in the renowned clubs and festivals he’s played worldwide, including Ageha in Tokyo, Mutek in Santiago and Montreal, and Sonár Festival in Barcelona. His presence has been felt in major venues across the globe, from Mr. Sunday in New York City to Panoramabar/Berghain in Berlin, and from Zukunft in Zürich to Robert Johnson in Offenbach. Korn has left his mark on iconic festivals like MELT! and Nachtdigital, proving his versatility and appeal across diverse audiences.
His "THE AIR EP" is a four-track journey that highlights Korn’s ability to merge the rhythmic warmth of house with the edge of Detroit’s techno heritage.
The title track, "Air", is a soulful funk-driven house anthem, layered with that unmistakable raw energy. It’s more than just a rhythm—it’s a journey that takes unexpected melodic turns, pulling listeners deeper into its groove while keeping the dance floor moving.
"Herbstlaub"" continues this fusion, delivering a melancholic yet driving post-Detroit sound with twisted melodies that could easily belong on Derrick May’s Transmat label. Yet, Korn’s contemporary production techniques make it feel fresh and innovative, merging emotional depth with danceable intensity.
On "Jupitermond," Korn explores the ambient side of his sound, carrying that post-Detroit atmosphere into a more introspective space. As the track progresses, subtle beats begin to surface, giving it a soft, mesmerizing pulse that lingers long after it ends.
Finally "Juno Dub"" brings Korn’s experimental side to the forefront. Rooted in raw house music yet pushing beyond the typical dance floor, this track is a sophisticated exploration of sound. Korn uses the essence of dub to create something that’s not just about rhythm, but about taking listeners on a deeper, sonic journey.
Jacob Korn’s "THE AIR EP" is a bold statement, blending raw house and Detroit techno in a way that’s both innovative and true to the roots of electronic music. This release is a must-listen for those who appreciate the fusion of raw energy with intricate production—Jacob Korn is back, and he’s taking us with him to new sonic heights.
