Artists such as Martin Waslewski, andhim and Stephan Bodzin all turn-in fantastic edits but today we concentrate on the masterful DJ Koze's re-imagining. 

His edit barely gives you a second to breathe before sharp and jagged synths come cutting through, kicking things off with a clear statement of intent.

Expect echoed and eerie vocal stabs, a powerful drive and that inimitable DJ Koze sound. This is one great remix.

KÖLSCH - Speicher 79

Starting out in 2001 to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, SPEICHER has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, allowing KOMPAKT to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. For SPEICHER 79, revered producer and live performer KÖLSCH returns to the series where it all begun, delivering two distinct cuts that masterfully distill all the elements of his earlier work for an even stronger floor impact. 

Kölsch - Papageno

Inigo Vontier - Motor

The mighty Disko B records out of Vienna has been plugged into the mainline of dark and strange club and art music for 23 (!) years now, with heavyweights like Patrick Pulsinger, Blake Baxter, Unit Mobeius and Chicks On Speed providing its foundations, but always being willing to branch out and take a punt on new projects. Flug 8, a new identity for musician-photographer Daniel Herrmann, is a project rooted in the kosmische-motorik traditions of pre-techno Germanic music, but with gloss and finesse that are pure 21st century and a beautiful sense of isolation that expresses a world where too many connections can make us paradoxically disconnected. This first track perfectly captures that, but also reminds us of how we can reconnect in darkened rooms in the mysterious hours of the night.

Thomas Tait AW15 soundtrack by Frédéric Sanchez

http://www.mixmag.net/music/exclusive/download-autoerotique

Autoerotique's got a new track and it doesn't exactly sound like what you've become used to from the Toronto producer. But that's certainly no bad thing. 

Leaving banging big room-focused tracks like 'Asphyxiation' and Max Styler collaboration 'Badman' behind, the regular Dim Mak artist has turned his mind to less explosive, more refined productions.

you know i’m tired
of living like a ghost
god only knows
i’ve given more than most
i cover up scars
that emptiness has caused
when the chemicals take
will it be me you dream of

there’s a heartbeat
somewhere
love, i’m gonna find you there
in the darkness
sleepless
love, i wanna have you near
we never sleep alone
never sleep alone
never sleep alone
never sleep alone

you shake me up
the moment before sleep
you’re calling out
the demons inside me
and when they’re gone
the hours i’m awake
i take these pills
and pray to god they’ll take

Never Sleep Alone

An epic sonic journey crossing classic Kompakt territory - from Pop Ambient to tuneful techno and house -, VAL MAIRA is not just the extended follow-up to DAVE DK's much-adored PALMAILLE 12" (KOMPAKT 277), a release that already stood out for its almost uncanny emulation of Kompakt's more impressionist panoply, but a sonic achievement in its own right - a record as delicate as it is candid, deliberately showcasing all its strengths and dodges, but ultimately - magically - amounting to so much more than the mere sum of its parts. In many ways, VAL MAIRA is the perfect Kompakt record, albeit one that Kompakt never made. Until now.

Dave's third full-length after his 2007 album on Moodmusic and a debut on Müller Records in 2000, this new offering named after a valley in the Italian mountains goes beyond admittedly impressive production skills, aiming for deeply personal expressiveness and emotional impact. From the tender dawning of opener FADE IN to the solid dance chops of enticingly grooving cuts like SMUKKE LYDE, NUEVA CANCION or COOLETTE, the record's preoccupation with the mutual dependencies of harmony and discord is quickly revealed: "I've tried to create an interlocking atmosphere of merriment and melancholy for the full duration of an album", says the producer, not withholding his intention to create something beautiful: "I hope that one can hear a little bit of hope in the tracks, like everything's going to be fine."

You might be forgiven for taking this as a massive understatement, coming from someone who seems to know a fair deal about that elusive something called human warmth. "Although you can be incredibly creative thanks to limitless digital means, I think that the biggest challenge lies in creating a link to something human, generating feelings of warmth that reach and move the listener", says Dave - painting the picture of a highly reflective artist that spends much time with fine-tuning the emotional registry of his pallet, laboring vigorously over the concept of a track as he does over its sound design: "before anything else, I need an idea and a general notion of the development of a track - just jamming doesn't work well for me." All the more surprising how all this planning and thinking translates into something as organic sounding and nearly self-emergent as HALMA, VEIRA or WHITEHILL, the latter featuring the distinctive (and decidedly human) vocals from PIPER DAVIS of Stimming fame.

One could very well describe these tracks as both intimate and sociable at the same time, a rare combination that might also account for the vivid sonic storytelling present in cuts like KRONSEE (referring to an actual lake near Dave's birthplace) or WE MIX AT SIX, the synaesthetic retelling of a delayed party at the beaches of Barcelona, where someone spray-painted the title's vital information on a t-shirt swaying in the summerly breeze. Heavily influenced by film soundtracks, drone sounds and organic noise, DAVE DK obviously feels very close to the perpetual atmospheric hum in between sounds, finding hooks and grannies in the tiniest nooks and crannies - and to hear these eleven tracks lovingly intertwining their inspirations while seemingly creating nutrient-rich textures and meaningful melodies out of thin ether remains a riveting experience even after the nth play-back.

 • The riveting new full-length from Berlin's finest DAVE DK
 • An epic sonic journey brimming with impressionist techno, pop- infused house and gorgeously textured ambient
 • 2xLP+CD edition pressed on 180gr vinyl

Antenes-Fire Rises (LIES-026.5)

"Back living in Shibuya on the 9th floor I can see day turn to night and watch the city breathe" explains submerse in reference to Stay Home, his upcoming EP for Project: Mooncircle. 

Where his first EPs and debut album Slow Waves mingled with nostalgia and adjusting to Tokyo city life, this is a celebration of stability - the tale of the beatmaker finally being comfortable within his latest surroundings. Just like the view from his apartment, these tracks play out like towering glimpses across a nocturnal city panorama. 

Amidst the vocal snippets of Goapele (on "Thinking About You") and twinkling nightriders like "Bokeh" lies "Gloom". A number that's dark by title, yet pearly in its timbre. Shifting along like an early AM nightbus soundtrack, it tides together puffy footwork paddles, R&B wails and the glint of electric piano in an alluring, eventide bundle.

Stay Home comes out worldwide on limited vinyl and digital as well as a limited edition CD including a bonus track via flau records in Japan on the 26th of May, 2015.

Werk Space Episode 04: https://vimeo.com/125885888

This time around we unfortunately only got to spend 1 day in the Red Bull Studios Amsterdam for our monthly 'Werk Space' project with Jengi Beats. The young producer from Den Bosch turned 19 in January and is well on his way to becoming one of our national export products. You might know Jengi Beats, because of his affiliation with ZenSupremacy, Youtellme or Bitbird. Or perhaps you've heard his remix of El. Train's "Control" featuring miss Miki Rose.

Anyway sir Jengi Beats worked on a little track called "Sun Sun" during his Werk Space visit to the Red Bull Studios Amsterdam.

Next week @Wantigga will join us in the studio and best believe you will discover, love and respect many more talented Dutch producers.

If you like the music, please download this for free and be so kind to check out more music from Jengi, hit the REPOST button or leave a nice comment.

When i was around 6 my favorite show in Germany was Sesamstrasse. It was a German adaptation of the American Sesame Street. I was really crazy about the show, and I used to always watch it at my Grandparents in Germany.

The intro song was very dear to me. The lyrics went Der Die Das, Wie Weshalb Warum. Which ruffly translates to He She It, How, For what reason, Why.

The intro song spawned this Childish Curiosity in me. I had to explore everything around me. I would bang on lids in the kitchen to hear what they sounded like.

It was this song that made we want to make sounds with different objects, and experiment with early rythms. From this moment on i was engulfed in anything that made a sound.

Next up on the Kompakt is Patrice Bäumel and he's delivered some more gold standard electronic music. His 'Speicher 85' features two tracks that both pack a serious punch. 

'The Vanishing' is a synth-loaded trip through razor-sharp twangs and groove-fuelled percussion while 'Low Rider' is a no-holds-barred monster.
