The Traum labels Interkontinental 5 is its most interesting and varied compilation to date. Its mostly tech-house, but that hardly does justice to the variety on this disc. Linus Quicks "Tri State and Lars Wickingers "Ghostrider are deep throbbers, while Adam Krolls "Stalker is just the opposite: a quick, crisp grooving track. Nathan Fake contributes the achingly pretty, beat-less "Numb Chance and Process gives up something similar in "Tendency to Synchronize, but with clicks and glitches. Ortincam and Jesse Somfay have the most complicated tracks, which should certainly move any techno dance floors. The minimal scene had a huge year last year, and this compilation shows its still going pretty strong.
