Stef de Haan’s Ataraxia came out on Bandcamp with supporting press on 27 February 2026 as a digital release and a 12" vinyl stamped SEVEN7009, a milestone described in press copy as, "Ataraxia marks his first-ever label collaboration and vinyl release." The Amsterdam-based producer’s move to SEVEN is framed as his first label-backed physical record after releasing more than 200 tracks independently over five years.

The vinyl rollout includes a limited-edition variant listed as SEVEN7009LTD; Deejay De’s product copy specifies that "SEVEN7009LTD is on coloured vinyl and includes a 90cm x 60cm pull out poster of an original Stef de Haan painting. Strictly Limited to 200 copies." Retailers show multiple SKUs: Word and Sound lists a "white vinyl/incl. poster/printed sleeve" option, while other listings cite a printed sleeve only. Those discrepancies mean buyers should note that some shops describe a white vinyl pressing while label-adjacent copy describes a coloured, 200-copy run.

Musically, Ataraxia shifts de Haan from garage-stepper textures toward minimal techno and includes two remixes credited to Perra Inmunda and Danny Wabbit. Press copy highlights Danny Wabbit’s rework of a track called "1 More Time Selecta", saying, "Danny Wabbit reworks ‘1 More Time Selecta’, adding gritty crunch, extra hats, and distant, longing vocals to bring Ataraxia to a powerful close." Aside from that closing credit, no complete A/B-side tracklist or running times were provided in the materials supplied by retailers and press mirrors.

Stef de Haan’s profile in the dossier underlines scene connections: he is named as one half of Cybersex alongside Nick Edwards and as a co-founder of the long-running Dutch party De Reünie. De Reünie’s residents listed across press pages include Techno Slave 69, Jack Unlimited, Tekna, and SEVEN label boss CRYME. Multiple sources reiterate de Haan’s DIY practice — producing, mastering, releasing, and designing artwork himself — and his output of "over 200 tracks in just five years."

SEVEN is presented in press material as "a queer and FLINTA‑leaning label operating at the intersection of House and Techno, committed to fostering an inclusive space where diverse voices and sounds." Retailer catalogues that carry SEVEN releases show a growing catalogue including Tal Fussman/TalFussmann, Retromigration, Sol Ortega, Ackerman, Andre Zimmer and CRYME, placing Ataraxia in the label’s ongoing series coded SEVEN7009.

Physical and retail details are explicit on shop pages: the 12" is listed with a product weight of 0.20 kg and material marked as PVC vinyl, with storage advice to keep records upright at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Evl One’s product page notes the item "is already on it's way to us and is expected to be shipped from 06.03.2026," and offers registration-on-first-order and an e-mail reminder function; Clone’s listing also includes a remind feature. No definitive retail price was provided in the supplied snippets.

For an artist who has built a solo, self-managed catalogue while running parties and a Cybersex project with Nick Edwards, Ataraxia and its SEVEN7009 vinyl variants represent a concrete first step into label-backed physical releases — with a limited-format poster edition that collectors and scene DJs will be watching when shipments roll from 6 March.
