Kompakt

On every Advent Sunday 'til Christmas, Kompakt.fm drops an exclusive mixtape from one of our artist affiliates - the third entry comes from our very own Stocksaur DJ Team helmed by Denis Stockhausen and Jo Saurbier. With each one being an expert floor charmer in his own right, the combination of those two forces of nature always makes for a night to remember, as quite a few crowds in 2013 can testify. To advanced urbanites, Stocksaur's amalgam of vintage house and future pop has proven to act just like catnip to felines: once you're hooked, they won't let you go... and their empire is constantly expanding. Soon in a club near you!
