Stefan Braatz has been at the heart of the European scene since the 90s. For the last 20 years, he’s headed up Adapter Records and also works as part of Acid Jerks while releasing music on influential labels like Poker Flat, Nu Groove, and Music For Freaks. He brings his roots in 90s house and acid to a new, modern sound that keeps him right at the forefront. As his new single, ‘Say Less’, featuring Scottie ‘Red Eye’ Canfield lands on Josh Wink’s Ovum Recordings, DMCWorld goes Trainspotting with Stefan Braatz.
Haf S – My Love Is (Jeep Mix) – ReThink
A very minimal Detroit groove that seems to slowly drill itself into your head, the recurring vocal cuts bring this track to the point. Must have!
Tyson G Phunk – Thee Church Ov Acid House – Whistle Mix – Rawax
Sampled punching beats combined with classic old school samples, very effective!
Paranoid London – Feat. Josh Caffe – Talk Dirty – Nu Groove
Paranoid London makes its debut on Nu Groove. Dirty old-school acid house at its finest. I love those uncompromising analog 808 beats combined with the deep bass of the infamous TB 303, and of course, Josh Caffe’s vocals round it all out. Way ahead!
Steve Bug & Herve Solar – No Faith No Dreams – Subleases Music
Here presents Bug & Solar Subleases first Vinyl cut with timeless Detroit chord grooves embraced by soaring high strings on top, the whole thing is accompanied by a mysterious vocal with a catchy message, very successful.
Cube – Down The Hole – Lino Trax
This track reminds me of the classic old-school vibes of the 80s with a touch of dance mania in its veins. A very original track for me. Often that’s all it takes to be good!
Brain Kage – Detroit Techno City – (Delano Smith Remix) Limo Trax Red
I really like these deep, harmonious grooves! Beautiful strings and piano chords with a solid bassline in tow, what more could you need? Detroit city!
Stefan Braatz – Deep Poke – (MakeFeelGood Remix) – Moom Sound
MakeFeelGood delivers a beautiful remix of a rather deep original version of “Deep Poke.” The chopped up deep house chord adds a punch and makes the track very lively. Fantastic remix!
Krewcial – Punch – Local Talk
The track’s name says it all. Nice scratchy SP beats & sampled Chords. I’m a fan of the label Local Talk and this release will put a smile on the faces of deep house fans, and certainly on mine. Dope!
Porn Bugs & Frink – What You Want – (Stefan Braatz Remix) – Bondage Music
Great deep house from Germany. Bondage Music is at the forefront with their releases. I had the pleasure of creating this remix of the current EP by Porn Bugs & Frink. I deliberately kept the mix very minimal with subtle house influences, but listen for yourself.
Paolo Macrì – Siege – Radici
An uncompromising track with acid influences, fantastically executed, it gets stuck in your head. I love it!
Stefan Braatz feat Red Eye ‘Say Less’ is released on 12th September 2025 on Ovum Recordings.
