Press Info:
With his debut album, Calluna, Strathy opens a new chapter in his sonic journey. Across ten tracks, he ventures far beyond the club floor, weaving together an intricate narrative that explores the emotional and physical architecture of urban life.

From comforting, abstract soundscapes to raw, demanding drum patterns, Strathy paints the portrait of a city in decline – one caught between seasons, transforming from autumn to winter. Streetlights shimmer in oil-black puddles; the cold creeps up the body. Yet beneath the concrete melancholy, faint pulses of warmth and connection emerge. Moments of hope glimmer in the cracks, revealing the beauty of persistence and community in dark times.

Petra

Press Info:
The first album on ohne kommerziellen Wert comes from label co-founder Stute. After several appearances with hard-hitting club material on the OHNE EP series, Stute’s debute LP “Petra” demonstrates a beyond-genre approach that shows a different and more introverted side of the Hamburg-based producer. Far from being a collection of stand-alone gems that have accumulated over the years, the 12 stages of “Petra” sound like they were formed in a single cast. It is a personal and intimate journey through a unique man-machine mindset that has been manifested in music and sound.

Stute isn’t new to the game, but he has been producing under the radar for far too long. He started DJing and producing more than 20 years ago and found himself progressively drawn to different genres like Hip Hop, Breakbeat, Drum & Bass and Techno. And all of those experiences culminate in “Petra”, where Stute maneuvers his production skills through a wide range of styles and tempi somewhere between leftfield and rave. Urgent techno coldness, promising downtempo dystopia, restless acid dreams, floating breakbeat pleasure or hopeful leftfield romance – every track represents a different phase of a long-time companionship with music and making music, resulting in “Petra” being filled with conflict and drama as well as bliss and belonging.

Like all of Stute’s releases, his first LP is shaped by a very high level of production paired with a rare sensitivity for harmonies and arrangements. Every sound is made from scratch with analogue equipment – heavy dragging beats surrounded by glistening synths and bleeps built on a pure love for music and hardware. “Petra” sounds unlikely complete: nothing is missing, nothing is overdone. Nevertheless… or maybe because of that, the 12 arrangements offer you enough space to conjure up images of distant worlds or let you turn inwards to dive deep into your inner self.

Press Info:
Special delivery from Strathy: four pieces of timeless techno on his first solo release for ohne kommerziellen Wert.

Hamburg’s Strathy is the well-known resident of Subspace, the oldest, still existing, monthly techno party in the city. His four-deck DJ sets with a non-stop-rave approach have gained him a reputation far beyond the borders of his hometown. On OHNED003 Strathy once again follows his passion for techno and rave as a producer and delivers four imperious 145bpm-tracks right to your digital doorstep. The EP opens with T-Pose, an atmospheric and floating stomper that was made equally for dancing and dreaming. Subspace is able to create the feeling of end-of-rave fulfillment, when gloomy synths sing over heavy and demanding drum patterns. No less driving and funky is Blue Lights Make Me Noisy, that takes a more grumpy turn on the 303. Last is 4V4, a restless early 2000s-esque rave heavyweighter with an acid-ish bassline for the thirsty-for-funk dancefloors.

Press Info:
ohne kommerziellen Wert returns with another club oriented four-tracker by a variety of the label’s artists. VUUDUU & Wrangel’s Let’s Get Electric is a fast and intense high-energy ride with a rolling bassline and unyielding drive. Hackster’s Ohne Kontrolle tells its very own story as it builds and switches quickly between helicopter-like synthlines, heavy percussion elements and cavernous soundscapes to create a hypnotic, moving vibe. It’s followed by Strathy’s Sand im Auge, a full-on banger that will transport you back to ’90s warehouse mayhem. STUTE’s Ballern builds the tension over a gritty vocal-like synth before morphing into a hard-hitting ravy workout.
