During his studies in Berlin in summer 1990 Gabriel heard about a street demo called loveparade and joined this crazy gathering dancing in the streets… Years later he met Dr. Motte, originator, multiversal artist and inventor of the loveparade, and they took the decision to meet in studio for jams which took place in Frankfurt at Gab´s Lab, where they celebrated a creative clash that is manifested in the albums seven tracks. The result is a trip on the dancefloor with deep, floating grooves and predominantly 4-2-4 beats on the first four tracks, while the last three tracks become an after hours party filled with deep, energetic, beatless grooves with a dubby atmosphere. At the beginning, Dr. Motte introduced Gabriel to another special method of producing music, using a tonal scale that is based on the frequencies of the rotating planets from our solar system, because the rotation of the planets differ from each other along with gravitational principles. For each track, they tuned their musical equipment to the corresponding planetary frequency of one of the planets in our solar system. The earth’s tuning, for example, is the 435.92 Hz ‘G’ tone.

Dream of Stars album teaser https://soundcloud.com/txt-3/aythar-dream-of-stars-album-preview
“While creating my music I try to act as a cosmic channel the energy flows through me and manifests itself in my creations. Typically I just improvise and the separate pieces of the composition almost imperceptibly develop and eventually come together to form a single unit. I believe that my cosmic sounds carry the resonance of the Universe and the whispering of the distant stars.
This is an improvised, experimental music, which is composed by the creative spirit, a strange intuition guided by the author from his inner most being, perhaps even from his subconscious!
These certain inspired and unexplained moments convey my feelings and moods through the emerging musical notes like some flow of energy through a channel. Just like a musical mandala: an unrepeatable improvisation!
Each piece is an instinctive impression of a universal moment and the flash of feelings are the mapping of infinite universes oceans of stars to the mysterious internal dimensions of musical notes.
The origins are sought across the infinite universe but lies in our innermost being. While listening to the very special cosmic world of sounds, I find myself in distant galaxies, taking over the vibrations of the Universe’s planets and star systems, while almost feeling the great mystical entity, where we resonate with all creation! A truly amazing spiritual experience! Listening with closed eyes is even more special, because not only we feel, but we see what the vibrations that the music is conveying!”
War
Five years after his debut on FAX Krystian Shek delivers this extraordinary CD. His music presents a fresh version of both Chill Out and Techno. This CD was inspired not by the dreadful wars of our time, but by the way people treat each other when they meet by accident in everyday places such as airports and train stations. He collected these impressions and transformed them into musical ideas. He does not try to describe the meetings; instead, he reveals the different perspectives, each in their own beauty, and enables them to coexist peacefully. We at FAX fell in love with this album and regard it as his best work so far.

4Voice
Due to public demand we finally release a reissue of the most successful dance project on FAX. The “4Voice” project was the start of the melodic hardtrance style which inspired a lot of DJs and musicians. Countless cover versions including “Escape” of Kay-Cee were created from the 1993 Clubhit “Eternal Spirit”. On this CD you find a combination of all “4Voice” vinyl releases from the first until the fifth series including some really beautiful Chill-out Tracks as well.
Zero Point Crossings
The one constant that has always set the music of Steve Stoll apart from other producers is the complete absence of overdubbed parts. All of Stoll’s tracks are recorded in one take, run the sequencer, grab hold of the mixer and hold on tight, no studio post production or layering are present, just the emotion of the moment. True electronic minimalism with the essence of improvisation from one of the creators of the style of electronica we call techno. Steve Stoll about Zero Point Crossings: Conceptual point of origin: Tokyo, Japan. Zero points where waves cross cancel and emerge again, crossing points of harmonic vibration, waves of people and sound crossing each other in sympathetic vibration, finding a loops perfect point.
Virtual Vices V
2 CD (55.22 min each)
CD1: DTS 5.1 Music Disc
CD2:Stereo CD Version
Mono was nice…Stereo “High Fidelity” was sufficient for about 50 years…and well…now there is time for an “Upgrade”. DTS 5.1 Digital Surround Sound offers six channels and the atmospheric, deep and imaginative music of FAX starts to come alive like never before. FAX music is about deep and soulful imagination…we don’t want to spoil the private inner journey of the listener. For this reason there will not be a DVD from FAX as this would not coincide with the label’s philosophy. For compatibility reasons (to listen to the music in the car or at your friend’s or if you don’t own a DTS capable 5.1 Surround System) we included a Stereo CD version in the double CD-pack.
Virtual Vices V is a CD that contains some surprises…of course in the fashion of Ambient-Jazz-Rock fusion. This time Wolfram digs deeper into jazzy E-Piano and percussions, Pete rediscovered his Gibson Jazz Guitar from the 1950s and his daughter Fabia is singing.
Limited to 500 copies.
