At the beginning of the year, Sascha Müller (Psychocandies) asked me if I wanted to do my part for Netlabel Day and contribute a track. Full of enthusiasm, I immediately agreed, only to later realize that time was running out. Too much on my mind, too many projects at once - my problem again. At the last minute, I found a track that had been hidden in my infamous drawer since 2021. Since I recognized potential, I got to work on it, as always at the last minute, changing a few nuances here and there and giving my Waldorf Pulse a voice again.

The theme of the track is "Stupid Love" - ​​​​a reflection on how crazy love can sometimes be. Whether it's the passion for music, the relationship with your better half or the incessant urge for toxic bonds and intense, physical music - love has many facets.

As always, you can download the track for free from my Bandcamp profile and from today you can also hear it somewhere in the vastness of this stream during the online stream for Netlabel Day.

Support is welcome, downloads are welcome, sharing is welcome.

Written, produced and mastered by Stanley Hottek

Stanley Hottek releases a new track on one of Sascha Müller's labels - this time on a 1.44 megabyte floppy disk! An original decision that deserves respect and makes us smile. If you want to experience the tracks, you can get a special floppy drive to enjoy them on GhostFloppy Recordings. The track is available for €2.50 on Sascha's label Ghostfloppy Recordings or for a donation on Stanley's Bandcamp page.

Stanley Hottek proudly presents his latest release "Cvant Discovery" as a free guest contribution on Sascha Müller's renowned label Psychocandies. The three tracks are the result of his live set in Rathenow in 2023 and combine electronic elements with broken beats and a pinch of FM modulation. This creative fusion is a clear example of the positive influence of musical exchange. The collaboration between Stanley Hottek and Sascha Müller, whose "Escape EP" was released in February 2024 on Klangbild's acid label Echoes of the Future, shows the dynamism and diversity within the electronic music scene.

Celestia Rytm, that sounds like the galactic smoothie the time machine forgot! Imagine you're on a dance floor in space, surrounded by fluorescent unicorns bouncing techno-house on their stardust trampolines. The beats are like interdimensional Jell-O explosions, and the synths are so colorful they'll make the rainbow jealous!

There was a time when Hottek still used names like Stan-Lee, Soylent Green, Klangphase or Timetrax. Under the leadership of Steffen Kuschel from Soundbasemusic in Leipzig, he released with his friend Uwe Schroeder alias Georg Holz on various labels such as Planet Pump, Wheel Works or Leypzik Records. These 4 tracks also originate from this time. Probably already 29 − 15 years old, these are demos that were never published on these labels. Back then, no one knew anything about mixing or equalizing or that you never give a mix with over 0db to the vinyl pressing manufactur. we tried to get the best out of the pieces. fast, loud, as primitive as possible and sometimes a bit simple.

let's make a fresh sound. I present you my latest release from the last few weeks of studio work. jam one and jam two were created purely live, metaphase and aezelove, on the other hand, are classic arrangement results. where metaphase is still kidding you and at the end isn't really an intro, aezelove comes across as a fat electro track. jam one & two pull on your dancing leg and open your front immediately after the lockdown to let out everything that has accumulated over the months. thanks for your support! cheers stan

it can go that fast. sometimes a delicate selection of techno, minimal sometimes even house tracks. they arose from live situations. the hardware used here included the elektron black trinity and the microtonic drum synth (which can be evil).feel free and share my music on all possible channels. cheers Stanley

A selection of 4 tracks that were once created, remixed and mastered for wgt Noisefloors. Mr. Bolton on his first heroin trip. some seriously sick stuff. Open the Zippo, turn the wheel, float away.
