Formed in January 2005,Treue Um Treue's first release was Wermut's "Hoffnung" 10".The two members of Wermut,Sofia E.R. and Laszlo P.S. are the co-founders of Treue Um Treue and Reue Um Reue.

The motivation behind TUTRUR is to promote and release artists and producers who are definitely off the beaten track-which is an understatement.

High-quality,and beautifully packaged Ep and Lp releases is high on the agenda-so is keeping vinyl alive and,as the label hopes,putting vinyl back in its rightful place as the music medium of choice.

TUTRUR packaging and design is as exquisite as the releases themselves-glossy gatefolds,bonus inserts, beautiful and thematic artwork;all are limited pressings and hand-numbered.

With the demise of Invasion Planete,and conversely the resurgence of interest and enthusiasm for darker,more experimental and gleefully difficult-to-categorise electro releases,TUTRUR are an essential label for the Electro-Body-Wave movement.Watch this space carefully.

TUTRUR is based in Hamburg,Germany.Drop them a line.

This is seriously one of my favourite releases of 2005.

The Mateshitz and Spiegel Reflex mixes carry a "straight-up" dark electro feel,but there are lots of small quirky synth stabs that turn them into quite kinky-bizarre tracks.

The Time Dilation mixes parts 1&2 sound as they they were remixed by nurse with Wound-wailing voices and synthetic horror-strings that are really creepy.These two hover between electro-esque and minimal(say Horror Inc or Baby Ford).

Buy-buy-buy.
