TRAUM Schallplatten’s long-running compilation series’ Tour de Traum’ continues with another standout from one of its core artists. Danjel Esperanza delivers ‘Perlmuttglitzer’, a rich and emotional piece of melodic house that feels both hypnotic and alive.
From the opening moments, the track builds with weighty, organic grooves that hold everything in place. Modulating melodies unfold slowly over time, rising and receding with purpose. There are rippling arps, soaring pads and moments of intensity that never feel forced. Everything feels hand-shaped, not factory-made.
Esperanza’s production carries a certain warmth and depth that’s rare. It’s not trying to follow trends. It’s not engineered for maximum algorithm impact. It’s music made with patience and intent. A proper headphone experience. But also something you could get completely lost in on a dark dancefloor at the right hour.
TRAUM’s approach has always been to support music that exists outside of commercial pressures. The new edition of ‘Tour de Traum’ reflects that. It’s a carefully curated collection that brings together long-time label favourites and fresh names alike, all bound by a shared commitment to emotion, experimentation and craft.
Danjel Esperanza fits that ethos perfectly. His roots in the label run deep, and ‘Perlmuttglitzer’ is a clear example of how his sound has evolved while remaining grounded in its essence. It’s melodic techno with soul, crafted for those who truly listen.
If you’ve drifted from the genre lately, this is one worth coming back for.
