About

  • Founded in 1998 when Riley & Jacqueline Reinhold in Buenos Aires for the Goethe Institute. The first release was a CD with artists from Argentina: "Elektronische Musik aus Buenos Aires". It made the top10 of „The Wire“ magazine. The British press called it a „hoax“ and thought all was written by one artist. Early Traum: Fairmont, Dominik Eulberg, Minilogue, Extrawelt, Moonbeam, Process, Philippe Cam, Dinky, Broker/Dealer, Jesse Somfay, Nathan Fake and more. Support came from by John Peel. The label was voted 3 years in the row into the top10 by Groove Mag and won the German Critics Award for their Dominik Eulberg album "Heimische Gefilde". Dominik Eulberg became a key artist releasing 3 albums and 27 EPs. In 2009 a new phalanx emerged with: Microtrauma, Ryan Davis etc. Max Cooper contributed 10 consecutive EPs, plus: Nick Dow, We Need Cracks, Hannes Rasmus, Parra for Cuva & Egokind. The label build up a strong international profile with the"Interkontinental" comp series and its follow up TOUR DE TRAUM and is still in 2024 a strong force. In 2015 Ron Flatter was signed and became a key artist with numerous SPOTIFY chartings and support came from John Peel’s son Tom Ravenscroft and MTV Marcus Kafka etc. 2016 Robert Babicz recorded a full length album in his studio. Eulbergs „Dream Machine“ scored big time in Germany. We returned to South America with Israel Vichs from Peru and Böjo and released a full album by Ireland based Jan Steiner who we will work with in the future. In 2021 TRAUM returned to produce more vinyl again, Extrawelt releases made No1 and 2 of the sale charts. Carsten Halm contributd with several viynl EPs from 2020-2022.
