LIMITED COPIES - NO DIGITAL RELEASE “Art Of Sorrow” has been one of the most raved about tunes over the last couple of months - without ever being known by its name. Few of your favourite DJs had a copy of this, but this was more than enough to put crowds accross the globe on their toes - in order to find out what was just blowing their heads off every time it got played. Well, the secret gets unveiled right here: It’s a Stefan Goldmann masterpiece. Coupled with the brandnew & dark Berghain style “Radar Opaque", it hits the street right in 2009. This record has been pressed in a very restricted quantity and will only be available for a limited time. You miss it, you never see it again.

...: “”

A Made Up Sound (2562): “I really like the slow part towards the end of Radar Opaque! ”

Adam Beyer (Drumcode): “Absolutely fantastic. Full suport!”

Alex Attias (Planet E): “This absolutely amazing! I loooooove this tune a lot.”

Ben Watt (Buzzin Fly): “Playing it in the club and on the radio! ”

Groove: “Art Of Sorrow von Stefan Goldmann ist der Hit der Stunde. Eine bohrende, mäandernde Bassline gibt dem Track etwas Ungreifbares, Unfassliches. Als Gegenpol erklingt ein hochdramatischer Orgelakkord, der ebenso furchteinflößend wie erhaben wirkt: Die Apokalypse ist eben der beste Zeitpunkt für eine gelungene Party. Sehr interessant ist "Radar Opaque" mit einem schnell hämmernden Groove, der wie die Industrial-Version eines Pantytec-Tracks klingt. Beachtlich. AW.”

Hell (Gigolo): “Awesome track ! I will play this out a lot. ”

Laurent Garnier (F-Com): “I love this track!”

littlewhiteearbuds.com: “Art Of Sorrow has been doing some club damage for a few months now, and borrows from the ecclesiastical vibe Goldmann visited with “Lunatic Fringe” in late 2007. Goldmann’s ability to make bedfellows out of disparate elements in a track is what truly sets him apart from the majority of producers. Building on an air of suspense and drama from the outset, when the big brash tones of the organ are released you almost miss the subtlety of the flute, orchestral strings and several other incidental sounds that follow. The bass line worms its way around the melodies, a rotund sluggish beast to be reckoned with. “Radar Opaque” is a raw, reverb heavy affair. Its broken, staccato beat and bleak, industrial outlook will be favored by fans of Scuba, Shackleton and those who like their techno/dubstep hybrids with a post apocalyptic feel to them. Most interesting is that the track actually breaks down in the last few minutes to a slow pounding house beat that will either confuse the hell out of people hearing it in a club or invoke some sort of frenzied meltdown. Strictly limited to 666 vinyl copies, this is essential gears from Goldmann.”

Manuel Tur (Drumpoet Community: “In der Tat ein Kracher! Großartiger Track, Fingerspitzenrave der gekonnten Art. ”

Martyn (3024): “I was quite surprised upon hearing "Radar Opaque", not what I expected from Stefan at all, it actually kind of has a Berghain vibe for me, dark, drums and sounds - really cool! ”

Mazi (NRK): “What can I say it's pure SG; musical, subtle and a monster floor killer all at once...most importantly original. Exactly what I would expect from one of my fave producers. Full support in my DJ sets and on the podcast.”

Michael Mayer (Kompakt): “Art Of Sorrow is really good – feverish thing! Will definitely play out. ”

Michael Reinboth (Compost): “Like this tune a lot, eerie sounds and groovy, maybe best track besides the Innervisions release. ”

Mr.C (Superfreq): “I really like the Art of Sorrow track - simply amazing, EPIC, huge track for me. I put it on my recent podcast, it's sick. Keep up the fantastic work, Stefan is one of my favourite producers right now.”

Nic Fanciulli (Saved): “One of the finest records I’ve heard for a while. I’d love to put an offer into to sign it for Saved Rec. ”

Nori Kawai Posivision mag (JP): “He's not known as "the magician of sounds" for nothing.”

Paul Frick (Karaoke Kalk): “Absolut hotte Dinger... Art Of Sorrow ist ein garantierter Clubhit, total dicke-Hose-mäßig und mit der Tür ins Haus. Und wieder verdammt gekonnte Mischung aus straighten Harmonien, orchestraler Weite und schrägem Zeug. Extrem reißerischer Track, muss sich erstmal jemand trauen!! Radar Opaque: Super hypnotische Nummer, erinnert mich an kompromisslose 90er Jahre Elektronik - persönlich mein Favorit. ”

Paul Woolford (2020 Vision: “Fucking crazy! ”

Pépé Bradock (Atavisme): “Fierce! ”

Peter Kruder (G-Stone): “Yes, THIS is what I call a killer tune! Goes immediately into my box and will be with me from set to set. ”

Quarion (Drumpoet): “Art of Sorrow is a massive tune! It might be one of the biggest tracks of 2009 ”

Rainer Trüby (Root Down / !K7): “Joining the other DJ guys: Loving it and it goes straight to the box! ”

Ralf Kollmann (Mobilee): “Die Nummer hat gewaltige Power! Klasse! ”

Raresh (Arpiar): “Really crazy track and has also an unique depth. ”

Resident Advisor: “And the hits keep on coming. Stefan Goldmann continues his excellent run of productions with this 12-inch for his brand spanking new Victoriaville imprint. It's unclear why Goldmann wanted to put this particular release on here instead of Macro, but we're not complaining as these two tracks are yet another example of his inimitable and compelling talent. "Art of Sorrow" is dark and cinematic with a busy bassline that underlines its ominous groove. The major piece of action, however, is the blast of strings and organ that ring out every so often to announce the arrival of something new — the kick, the modulating bassline, your brain melting all over the floor. Like much of Goldmann's work, there's a sense of menace throughout. And it's this anticipation that sets Goldmann apart from 99.9% of producers working today in techno. Who else do you listen to and actually have no idea where each track is going to lead?Resident Advisor: And the hits keep on coming.
