This past Friday, Das Mörtal unleashed his gripping new single ‘Falsche Daten’, out now on Lisbon Lux Records, complete with a visually immersive music video that’s already turning heads. The track is the first taste of his highly anticipated Origins EP, set to drop later in 2025. A Berlin native now thriving in Montréal’s dynamic electronic scene, Das Mörtal has racked up over 60 million Spotify streams and taken stages at major festivals like NXNE, RBC Bluesfest, and Primavera Sound. His haunting, cinematic tracks have soundtracked Drive to Survive and The Witcher, earning raves from Billboard, Mixmag, and Thump. With nearly 100 shows since 2015, including tours alongside Le Matos and The Glitch Mob, his genre-blending mastery of synthwave, techno, and sci-fi-inspired soundscapes has cemented his global influence.
WATCH: Das Mörtal – ‘Falsche Daten’
‘Falsche Daten’ is a sonic artifact from 2005, reborn with a razor-sharp edge that bridges past and present. Built on a thundering four-on-the-floor foundation, the track layers distorted synth leads and jagged industrial textures, evoking the primal energy of ‘90s techno warehouses. Its dynamic shifts—swirling ambient breaks colliding with relentless hi-hat barrages—create a hypnotic push-pull that’s both visceral and cerebral, perfect for fans of Ben Böhmer or AnnenMayKantereit. The music video, a hypnotic swirl of retro-futuristic glitches and pulsing neon, amplifies the track’s dark, kinetic allure.
The release marks a pivotal moment for Das Mörtal, whose early experiments in techno laid the groundwork for his distinctive sound. This single, originally crafted in his formative years, captures a raw, unfiltered energy that still resonates today. It’s a bold statement of intent for the Origins EP, which promises to dive deeper into the roots of his sonic identity while pushing boundaries in the electronic music landscape.
“‘Falsche Daten’ was originally produced in 2005 while channeling my techno influences of the time which were The Hacker & Vitalic,” Das Mörtal explained. “It represented a specific moment in time of my early years trying to find out what my sound was.” With ‘Falsche Daten’ now igniting dancefloors and the Origins EP on the horizon, Das Mörtal is poised to captivate longtime fans and new listeners alike with his unrelenting creative vision.
