All rights Reserved • Steve Baltes • German trance producer, active since 1993. Performing live acts since 1993. Steve Baltes has been producing synthetic music with various acts and projects since 1994. First in the techno and trance genres, then as the youngest member of the cult band Ashra with Manuel Götsching, and finally, for several years, also with Thorsten Verlinden as the duo Artic Sunrise. • ImagE • Steve Baltes and Torsten Verlinden (Instrumental Vocalist & Lyricist) 👉

Steve Baltes (Instruments) / Realistic Studio 👉• The Creative Synergy / Arctic Sunrise - Steve Baltes & Torsten Verlinden • This photograph captures the creative minds behind the modern era of German melodic electronic music. Standing on the left is Steve Baltes, with Torsten Verlinden on the right, posing inside their high-end analog laboratory. Their partnership was born out of a shared passion for deep, emotional synthetic sounds, bridging decades of classic underground club knowledge with advanced music composition. • Arctic Sunrise • • Arctic Sunrise • This is the acclaimed Synthpop, Futurepop, and Electro-pop project founded by the duo. Within Arctic Sunrise, Torsten Verlinden steps up as the main lyricist and lead vocalist, delivering a deep, melancholic, and deeply emotional vocal performance. Meanwhile, Steve Baltes utilizes his extensive engineering background to sculpt the rich, pristine electronic soundscapes, lush pads, and driving baselines that define the project. Their releases, published under the Conzoom Records imprint, have consistently gathered critical acclaim and top positions across European alternative charts like the German Alternative Charts (DAC). • Steve Baltes Instruments & Realistic Studio • Steve Baltes has been an avid hardware collector and live electronic performer since 1993. Beyond his artistic endeavors, his deep technical expertise in the music industry has led him to work professionally with major global audio brands such as IK Multimedia and Reason Studios. The impressive wall behind them in the studio highlights his obsession with pure analog synthesis, a massive, custom-built Eurorack modular synthesizer system alongside classic hardware workstations. This hands-on approach allows them to generate sounds completely from scratch using real voltage and physical patch cables, giving their music an unmistakable analog warmth that cannot be replicated by software alone. All tracks were written by Steve Baltes and mixed by Rainer Vongern and Steve Baltes at Realistic Studio, Germany. All tracks: Steve Baltes; Stefan Baltes • Origin of Hardware “Steve Baltes” • Unlike today’s producers who make music with just a computer and a mouse, Steve Baltes started in electronic music in the early 1990s. Back then, if you wanted your music to sound fat, powerful, and full of character on a Trance or Techno dance floor, you needed real hardware. He grew up manipulating physical potentiometers, analog filters, and real patch cables. For him, electronic music isn’t programmed: it’s sculpted and played live. • Ashra • Why he loves these “toys” so much? There’s a crucial historical fact: Baltes was the youngest member of the legendary cosmic rock and electronic music band Ashra, led by guitar and electronics genius Manuel Göttsching. Ashra based all their music on live improvisation using modular analog synthesizers, physical sequencers, and keyboards. Working side-by-side with pioneers of German electronic music instilled in him the philosophy that the physical instrument has a soul. A real synthesizer responds differently depending on the room temperature, how you adjust the filters, or how much you let its tubes heat up. • Steve Baltes' Toys • The keyboards on the left (Synthesizers and Workstations): Rows of professional keyboards are visible on multi-level stands (next to Cubase cases). Steve is passionate about live performance; he doesn't use automatic sequencers for everything, but prefers to play bass lines and trance pads directly on the keys. The bunker on the right (Modular Synthesizers): What looks like an old telephone switchboard full of colorful cables and lights is a cabinet of modular synthesizers (Eurorack). These are the ultimate "toys" for a producer. They don't have preset sounds; you have to physically connect a sound module with a filter using cables to create a sound from scratch. It's pure craftsmanship. For musicians like Steve Baltes, interacting with metal, keyboards, and real circuitry is what keeps the spark of creativity alive after more than three decades in music. • Reiner Fongern • A key and cult figure in the golden age of electronic dance music in Germany during the 1990s. • The Mastermind Behind "Realistic Studio" • Rainer Fongern was the chief sound engineer and the mastermind behind Realistic Studio in Germany. In the 1990s, that studio became Steve Baltes' personal sound laboratory. All that analog punch in the kick drums and synthesizers of Baltes' early EPs passed through Rainer's hands, mixing boards, and ears. • Steve Baltes & Reiner Fongern • He wasn't simply a passive engineer pushing buttons; he worked as a co-producer and mixer in the studio. He contributed engineering and mixing credits to some of Baltes' most legendary early releases. Pictures In Rhythm (1995), Baltes' acclaimed studio album released on the Le Petit Prince label • Own Notes / The Secret Legend of Vinyl • Si os fijáis bien en los números de catálogo que os he dejado en la recomendación, hay una carambola numérica perfecta que esconde una estrategia brutal de la época dorada de Le Petit Prince en 1994. If you look closely at the catalog numbers I've included in the recommendation, there's a perfect numerical coincidence that hides a brutal strategy from the golden age of Le Petit Prince in 1994. Prince 94/12 ➡️ Nikolai – Ready To Flow (The Remixes)
Prince 94/13 ➡️ Steve Baltes – Exxcalibur EP A primera vista parecen solo dos vinilos consecutivos que salieron uno detrás de otro de la planta de prensado. Pero la verdadera magia está en las pistas. At first glance, they look like just two consecutive vinyl records that came off the pressing plant one after the other. But the real magic is in the tracks. ¿Por qué el disco de Nikolai (94/12) incluye el espectacular Steve Baltes Remix justo antes de que salga el propio disco en solitario de Baltes (94/13)? Why does Nikolai's album (94/12) include the spectacular Steve Baltes Remix just before Baltes' own solo album (94/13) is released? Aquí no hay ninguna coincidencia, sino una estrategia de marketing perfecta de la discográfica alemana. There is no coincidence here, but a perfect marketing strategy by the German record label. • El Gancho Perfecto •
• The Perfect Hook • En el sello sabían que Ready To Flow de Nikolai era un éxito masivo que todo el mundo iba a comprar a ciegas. Así que metieron el remix de Steve Baltes en la pista B2 de ese vinilo (94/12) para usar la fama de Nikolai como un trampolín publicitario. The label knew that Nikolai's Ready To Flow was a massive hit that everyone would buy sight unseen. So they included Steve Baltes' remix on track B2 of that vinyl (94/12) to use Nikolai's fame as a publicity springboard. • El "Hype" en las Maletas •
• The "Hype" in Suitcases • Los DJs de la época compraban el disco de Nikolai, lo ponían en la discoteca, pinchaban la cara B y alucinaban con el sonido de ese tal Steve Baltes. DJs of the time would buy Nikolai's record, play it in the disco, spin the B-side and be amazed by the sound of this Steve Baltes guy. • El Siguiente en la Lista •
• Next on the List • Justo cuando los DJs se estaban preguntando quién era ese productor, el sello lanzaba a las tiendas el código consecutivo 94/13 con el Exxcalibur EP. La jugada era redonda, si habías quemado el remix del 94/12, ibas corriendo de cabeza a comprar el 94/13. Just as DJs were wondering who that producer was, the label released the sequential code 94/13 with the Exxcalibur EP. It was a brilliant move; if you'd played the 94/12 remix to death, you'd rush out to buy 94/13. ⚠️ ¡Y AQUÍ VIENE EL AUTÉNTICO GIRO DE GUION! ⚠️
⚠️ AND HERE COMES THE REAL PLOT TWIST! ⚠️ Muchos os encontraréis aquí por la historia de Steve Baltes, alucinando con la foto de su estudio de la época y esos teclados descomunales que parecen sacados de una nave espacial. Pero la verdadera magia de este descubrimiento es que, justo al lado en el catálogo, descubres a Nikolai. Y os aseguro que el vinilo de Nikolai tiene una fuerza y un sonido tan brutal que ni toda la artillería pesada y los súper teclados de Baltes consiguen superarlo. Many of you will be here because of Steve Baltes' story, amazed by the photo of his studio from that era and those colossal keyboards that look like they came from a spaceship. But the real magic of this discovery is that, right next to him in the catalog, you discover Nikolai. And I assure you that Nikolai's vinyl has such a powerful and brutal sound that not even all of Baltes' heavy artillery and super keyboards can surpass it. ¡Un auténtico duelo de titanes en el prensado alemán!
A true clash of titans in German pressing! Una conexión brutal entre artista, vinilo y fábrica que demuestra cómo se cocinaba el éxito de la música trance en los 90
A powerful connection between artist, vinyl, and factory that demonstrates how trance music was forged in the 90s ¡Joyas consecutivas que no pueden faltar en vuestra colección!

A partir del éxito de Nikolai es cuando la compañía presenta a Steve Baltes, dejándole remezclar la cara B2 (Ready To Flow - Steve Baltes Remix), que tuvo un éxito brutal. Una bonita historia, ya que más adelante el remix tuvo un éxito tan brutal que se convirtió en la presentación oficial de Baltes, allanando el camino para su venidera carrera. The fact is, the label knew that Nikolai's "Ready To Flow" was a massive hit that everyone would buy sight unseen. It was on the heels of Nikolai's success that the company introduced Steve Baltes, letting him remix the B-side (Ready To Flow - Steve Baltes Remix), which was a massive success. It's a great story, because later the remix became so incredibly popular that it served as Baltes' official introduction, paving the way for his future career. • Arctic Sunrise • The photo shows the tremendous complicity they have after decades of sharing hours of study, surrounded by that imposing bunker of modular synthesizers that they are so passionate about using to their full potential • Own Note • Times Taken From The Spek app
