feeder sound exclusive premiere: Dr.Nojoke – Tegli [Klangscheiben]

Dr.Nojoke returns to Klangscheiben with “Tegli”, his most intimate release on the label to date. Packing five tracks designed with the artist’s fingerprint sound, the mini-album can be described as a portrait of stillness in motion, a place, a feeling or a walk you don’t want to end. The warm and hypnotic sound evokes an ethereal realm Where the Water Remembers.

Previous collaborations include appearances on several VA compilations as well as three standalone releases, namely Clusters & Clouds (2014), Kakawawa (2017) and Oiroa (2022).

Founded in 2004 by Thomas Bäz aka Demas, Klangscheiben is a Berlin-based label dedicated to deep and functional underground electronic music built for dancefloors and headphones alike. Over two decades and 77 titles, the imprint has cultivated an impressive roster of artists from Berlin and beyond, releasing music at the intersection of deep house, microhouse, minimal techno and experimental club sounds.

As the track slowly reveals its intricacies and offers an ever-evolving atmosphere, we drift and begin to wonder. Here’s an insight from Dr.Nojoke himself:

I created “Aharam” and the other four tracks around three or four years ago, without any particular theme in mind. Later on, when Thomas of Klangscheiben and I were putting the tracks together, he asked me for a photo for the cover. I suggested a photo of my favourite place in Berlin, a swampy area in the north of the city, which I have loved since childhood. I took the photo in mid-February, when the last traces of winter were still visible. The photo has a very deep personal and emotional meaning for me.

My track titles are mostly abstract and open to different interpretations. They reflect a mood for me, and they must sound interesting, just like all the small sounds in my tracks. They all have a specific sound. “Aharam” evokes something in me. I have some images in my mind, but I won’t share them with you because I want you to have your own. Thanks for listening. Enjoy your trip.

As for the whole journey, here’s what Klangscheiben‘s label head has to say:

Where his previous works painted imaginary islands and speculative shores, Tegli draws from something real and close – a winding stretch of water on the edge of the city, quiet and unhurried, flanked by reeds, bare trees and winter light. Animal tracks in the snow. A sun sitting low. The kind of place that asks you to slow down and listen.

And so does this music. Dr.Nojoke‘s signature organic warmth runs through every track – carefully chosen sounds that feel lived-in rather than designed, grooves that breathe, textures that shift like light on cold water. His storytelling through sound remains precise and understated, never overstating what the landscape itself already says.

Since 2005, Frank Bogdanowitz aka Dr.Nojoke has been working on technoid sound-sculptures with an experimental and minimal approach based on his archive of self-made sounds and field-recordings. Through processing and editing, he defines a groovy, hypnotic and deep musical style he calls CLIKNO. At all times, he attaches great importance to unusual and random harmonies, melodic structures, polyrhythms and polymeters, non-stereotypical sounds and hook-lines, which willingly break up clichés.

His live performances may feature instruments such as old radios, crushed plastic bottles, Jew’s harps, souvenirs and toys as he celebrates the joy of finding special sounds in everyday objects which are not usually appreciated for their musicality. For this approach, he’s considered a true experimentalist as he always delivers a unique experience which blurs genre categorisation. You can find his works on labels like Archipel, Sleep Is Commercial, Pluie/Noir, Saraw, Miden, Goldmin, Destroy All Monsters, Minim.all, Resopal and his own playground CLIKNO, to name a few.
