monoKraK shares two free deep minimal techno tracks from Alex Vandoff
Alex Vandoff’s monoKraK 124 pairs a 5:30 title cut with a 3:06 flip, a free two-track minimal set that moves from grounded pulse to cosmic drift.
monoKraK has lined up another clean, low-barrier pickup for deep minimal heads: Alex Vandoff’s In Wirklichen Leben arrived on June 16, 2026 as monoKraK 124, offered as two free WAV tracks. The pair is small by design, with the title cut In Wirklichen Leben and the second track Unknown Planet both framed in the deep minimal techno and deep electronic music lane.
That compact format is the point. An archival copy lists the tracks at 5:30 and 3:06, so this is not a sprawling EP trying to cover every corner of the floor. It is a tight, edited statement, the kind of release that can settle into a DJ bag quickly and make its case through texture, patient percussion and low-end detail rather than a big headline hook. The title itself sharpens the mood: one track feels anchored in the plain facts of “real life,” while the other drifts outward toward something more speculative.
monoKraK has long been built for that exact kind of circulation. The label describes itself as a Geneva, Switzerland-based netlabel founded in 2006 by Floating Mind and oriented toward ambient and deep minimal techno. A separate label profile places its creation with Roberto Vitali in 2006 and says more than 70 releases are available there, all free to download. In practice, that makes In Wirklichen Leben part of an established free-release ecosystem rather than a one-off upload.
Alex Vandoff is not new to that ecosystem either. monoKraK’s archive includes a 2026 Vandoff track titled Mystery, released on May 15, and the label’s 2026 run also places In Wirklichen Leben alongside other fresh catalog entries such as monoKraK 123 by West Remi. Public artist pages show Vandoff with releases beyond monoKraK, which helps position this two-track set as another step in an active catalog rather than a standalone experiment.
For minimal techno listeners, that combination matters: a precise length, a clear sonic lane, and a label that understands how to let a groove breathe. In Wirklichen Leben does not overexplain itself, and that restraint is exactly what gives the release its pull.
