Markus Sommer will release his debut album later this month, titled Untitled Gemütlichkeiten. 

The 14-track outing is the Pager Records co-founder’s first solo outing since 2017’s Mystic EP, and stems from a series of studio sessions that led to “eight tracks with the same mood.” This organic starting point then planted the foundation for the rest of the LP. We’re told that the aesthetics encompass jazz, house, minimal, garage, and techno. 

Hailing from Offenbach, near Frankfurt, Sommer started DJing in 2009. He had his first club gig in 2010 and founded Pager Records with Phil Evans in 2015. He has a string of releases with the likes of Imprints, Sensual Records, Twig, and Colt Music with his musical style full of groove-laden basslines and smooth melodies. 

Gemütlichkeit translates to “coziness,” reflective of an album that makes you feel warm inside whilst also making you want to get up and move.  

The album will be a vinly-only release.
