For The Record, a series on the GH Blog, is all about discovering new music. We turned to Giegling’s musical library ahead of the crew’s showcase on April 8, as they such a diverse and compelling release catalogue in the genre’s history.  

The Giegling sound is a deeply alluring blend of micro house, dub techno and leftfield electronics, with artists like Dwig, Leafar Legov, Ateq, Edward and Kettenkarussell using minimal elements to create something grand.  From Giegling main label to Traumprinz or Staub sublabels, the label has a vast array of artists and genres represented you need to know more about.

Prince of Dennmark - Soulfood on the Staub series (2010). Insane. Hypnotizing. Timeless. 
 

‘Are you ready Ralph?’ Learn how to float beyond fear and desire. Into this history of mystery (2010).

A masterpiece from Edward - Viviens Theme, some jazz injected deep house record released in 2010.

"Society 0.5" is a real reduced gen, a primetime hypnotic masterpiece! (2010) 

Matthias Reiling brings to the table structure and style,deep and intelligent. P.S. He's Real (2011).

Splitting Ways is Leafar Legov’s stripped back minimal you could endlessly listen on repeat, always doing magic (2012).

Dwig - Made in China (2012) is a perfect tool to hijack your mind with its kick and incredible whispers. Shhh..

If you were looking for a time machine, Kettenkarussell - The End it is. (2014)

One of the greatest tracks ever released, Metatron’s “U’ll be the king of the stars” on sub-label Traumprinz (2014).

Vril - Torus XXXII is a must hypnotic listen. Will take you higher than the sky.

Slow and weary ‘Just for a second’ from Kettenkarussell (2017) is so dreamy.

Map.Ache seems to have found the secret recipe of translation euphoria and fulfillment in music. Don’t believe us, hit play. (2018)

Leafar Legov - I Need You (2021) encapsulates the feeling of seeing a sunset. A bold metaphor, maybe, but yeah. A little melancholic, very emotional.

"We're still working on that," Konstantin, one of the minds behind Giegling says. "To be able to transmit our dream successfully—to translate something from our fantasy into your fantasy.” 

The whole playlist can be listened to on our YouTube. You can probably tell we were barely scratching the surface on Giegling's catalogue through this post. But we hope you read it as an invitation to dig deeper. Check the label's Discogs here.

This weekend: a 24 hours Giegling showcase & Rhadoo at Guesthouse. Read more about it here.
