Info:
After one and a half decade and more than 450 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums. The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.

For this selection, our label mate Eddy Ramich (Eddy Meets Yannah) dug in the Compost archive for the finest Broken Beat and NuJazz gems from almost forgotten times. Big names like Moonstarr, Domu, Seiji or Alex Attias mark the highlights, but also Compost classics from the likes of Kyoto Jazz Massive, Beanfield, Voom:Voom (project by Peter Kruder, Christian Prommer & Roland Appel) are represented. A unique trip to the golden era of NuJazz!

Artist: Rafael Da Cruz
Title: Compost Black Label #118
Cat No: CPT 454-1
Format: 12" / Digital
Release: 05. September 2014

Tracklisting:
Side A
A1 „Renaissance“ (Original Mix) (8:54)
A2 „Renaissance“ (Cosmic Cowboys Remix) (7:52)

Side B
B1 „Renaissance“ (The Black 80s Dub Remix) (6:42) 
B2 „Renaissance“ (David Hasert Remix) (7:37)
Digital Bonus: „Renaissance“ (The Black 80s Easy Vocal Remix) (6:53)

Info:
Rafael Da Cruz’ debut 12“ finally hits the streets, dipping into deeper, gloomier spheres of house. Soaring synths cleverly trim the bed of fat broad baselines. The Black 80s give the original a wicked analogue touch, with a splendid soulful vocal version as bonus track. Cosmic Cowboys and David Hasert supply two impressive remixes that both create a dark, but uniquely vibrant scenery and complete the package.

With a name like that, you should become a leading actor in an Coen-Brothers-Movie, professional soccer player at Benfica Lisbon or head of government with a dictatorial claim for leadership. Eduardo Rafael Da Cruz Ferreira - editor of the magazine FAZEmag - early devoted himself to electronic music. His graceful and melancholic interpretation of deep house he quickly made a name for himself in numerous clubs from Cologne, over Hamburg to Berlin and at festivals like PollerWiesen, RaveOnSnow, Utopia Island and Nature One. With "Right To Love" he started running his own night in Cologne's most famous Club called Gewölbe, where he presents acts like Maceo Plex, Mario Basanov, Ten Walls, Deniz Kurtel, Miguel Campbell, H.O.S.H. or PillowTalk in a very exclusive atmosphere.

Renaissance (David Hasert Remix)

Rafael Da Cruz - Renaissance (David Hasert Remix)

Agoria has turned in another huge edit before the year runs out and this time it's of Metronomy. We recently premiered the rolling house rework of 'I'm Aquarius' and now Agoria has worked his magic over 'Love Letters'.

This one has been smashed by the likes of Dixon, Joris Voorn and Gesaffelstein and it's easy to see why. With builds that keep on building and a dark feel from the off, this is another example of why we love Agoria so much.

Premiere: Metronomy 'Love Letters' (Agoria Remix)

you did this thing where you would close your hand and open them again and flowers would appear.... you did this thing where you would hold my shoulders you would wrap your arms around me and the sun would appear...(2x)

So what I need you to understand,is that sweetheart if your leave tonight, sweetheart if you leave tonight,if you leave tonight I am not sure if the moon will come up tomorrow and the sun with birth a new Saturn, I am not sure if I will be able to sustain my lungs anymore and I am not sure if I will breath again, cause if you leave tonight, I am not sure if Pluto will still be cold And we’ll still able to photosynthesis and human beings will be growing milk out of their hands, if you leave tonight…

The universe would come crashing down, god would shed his first tear and satan,will help an old lady cross the street, if you leave tonight the magic would stop..

you would pay the bill, we used to have picnics on the palms of god’s hands and I would elevate my existence to a level unknown, but if, if you leave tonight, I am not sure If I can do this again, if I can find some form existence in the way that I died..

...you did this thing where you would close your hand and open them again and flowers would appear.... you did this thing where you would hold my shoulders you would wrap your arms around me and the sun would appear..

you did this thing where you would close your hand and open and flowers would appear, you would wrap me around your arms and the sun would dance with us and the sun would birth and new moon but if you, if you leave tonight...I am not sure If I can do this again, if I can find some form existence in the way that I died before so…﻿

Title: Compost Black Label # 132 - Azra EP
Cat.-No.: CPT 476-1
Format: 12" / Digital
Release: 4. March 2015

Tracklisting:

Side A:
A1 Rula (8:22) 
A2 Ratafka (6:58)

Side B:
B1 Komito (6:49)
B2 Carmonna (7:24)

Philipp Stoya is back on Compost Black with a bunch of fantastic tunes, a hypnotic trip with deep analogue playfulness and elegance.

It's a story of dedication, devotion and a whole lot of craziness.
The debut E.P of Philipp Stoya, who might be recognized from his appearances on some Various Artists – 12“s on Compost Black Label, is a testimonial of love, his love to his wife, whose name is the EP’s title, his love to music in general, giving birth to this record and his love to electric pianos and synths, such as the Fender Rhodes and the Roland Juno 106, which sounds give the tracks on the record an unique flair and atmosphere.

His remix for Madpac’s „Angry Nerds“ is sheer bliss and also part of the „Michael Reinboth Favorites“ on the COMPOST 500 compilation.

Why do we tell stories?

We breathe, we eat, we sleep. We seek connection. These are our basic human needs.

But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world, stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human.

The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic language from which all storytelling is spun.

Beginning with Overcoming The Monster, Chapter 24 has gathered artists from across the globe to bring these themes to life for its Seven Stories VA series.

Up-and-coming Dutch producer and Paradigm resident Malbetrieb (SoHaSo, Selador) opens proceedings with ‘Epic’. Fiendish acid licks intertwine with soaring vocal pads and uplifting top lines in a driving, melodic track.

One of the biggest producers in Ukraine, Stas Drive (Hope, Sudbeat) is up next with the titanic ‘Aphrodite’. A tribal tech groove pounds forth, underpinned by brooding and mysterious atmospheres.

Enter Dragon Suplex, a twin-headed tune producing beast from Switzerland who deliver the third track with ‘Mystified’ feat. Samzing. Another behemoth, this one is equally dark and banging, bringing a good dose of tension to proceedings.

As the compilation advances to its denouement, a little brightness starts to pierce through the storm clouds. Hailing from Peru, a breeding ground for young talent in the underground house scene, Frank Serin strikes a more hopeful tone with ‘La Sonrisa de la Mujer’.

‘Somnium’ by the London-based Chapter 24 boss Sam Pauli and label regular Reiver enhances the dreaminess on offer. A drifty, hypnotic and emotive cut unfolds into a tremendous, musical break.

Finally, the compilation ends with a focus on French producer Anton Dhouran. Having already been signed by Diynamic and with music forthcoming on Jeudi Records, Anton deploys his considerable skills on ‘Meyah’, a deep, groove-laden number enhanced by ethereal pads. The real story, however, comes with ‘A Kind Of Light’ which closes the narrative with a heroic instrumental tale.

They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories.

And so, as the storyteller utters that age old, magical formulation, "Once upon a time...", let yourself be carried away…

Chapter 24
{Stories in sound}

Stay Tuned!

Listen to the beautiful rework that The Drifter made for Joakim's last gem on Life and Death. killer deep / moody tune. Download no longer available. #lifeanddeath

Joakim - Would You Give Up (The Drifter Remix)

No longer a stranger on the international scene, Kerala Dust manages to weaken many knees with his low, soothing - almost romantic - voice, covering the four-to-the-floor ever so effortlessly. This time around however, the project of the London/Berlin-based artist is aiming for the downright no-nonsense attitude of the dance floor with a defining club track. It’s housy, techy, groovy, with no vocals this time - yet he does not lose his sense of self and manages to remain recognizable.

Olaf Stuut’s remix strays from the usual path and gives us a dirty and rough rendition of the original, accompanied by relentless teamwork between drums and bass. French expert minimal specialist DoubtingThomas explores even further in his inimitable style and delivers a rolling workout.

A sophisticated little bastard of a DJ-mix

It’s about time for the fifth instalment of the Compost Black Label Series – unveiling some of the finest cuts in the label’s recent history in a versatile DJ mix crafted by Compost family member Thomas Herb, who built a strong reputation as a DJ when it’s about merging soul-injected house, techno and disco into a musical journey. Featuring winner tunes and remixes by Phreek Plus One, Osunlade, Woolfy, DJ T. or Rainer Trueby, Herb is also highlighting the work of new breed like Emil Seidel, Philipp Stoya and Emilie Nana, who all contributed high-quality tunes on the Black Label within the last year. Playing on top of the game since about one and a half decades, the Bob Beaman resident DJ, holding a steadily growing national and international schedule, is kicking things off with some proper nu-school vibes until he smoothly blends to balearic and disco influenced territories – then somehow he’s already in the middle of Holland Tunnel, the New Jersey styled tune by Muallem, opening our minds eye for the glittering skyline of Manhattan and our ears for this music called house - unfolding its purest grooves and energy within the mix. Keeping up the level, Thomas Herb subsequently heading the ship towards a middle west inspired direction, throwing in some decent rave signals without loosing his fluent, elegant style he carefully morphs into a old school Chicago vibe! The set is closing with Lukas Bohlender’s beautiful stringloaden emo-houser Club Chateâu. Apart from storytelling, quality and programming the tunes itself, Thomas Herb unmistakably put some extra focus on adding this kind of warm, handcrafted, dynamic live-vibe – and he succeeds big time with this sophisticated little bastard of a DJ-mix.

With Compost Records head honcho Michael Reinboth, Thomas Herb co-hosted the Compost Black Label Sessions clubnights held at Harry Klein and later at Bob Beaman for the last four years – sharing the decks with the likes of Jerome Sydenham, Deetron, Jay Shepheard, Osunlade, Agnés, John Talabot, Willie Graff, Kalabrese, Karizma, Heidi, Permanent Vacation, Move D & Thomas Meinecke, DJ T., Nuno Dos Santos and many more. With SHOW-B he’s teaming up for some well recieved productions and remixes from time to time – these smart guys also hosting the weekly radioshow Compost Black Label Sessions, which has been set up in order to spread the vibe of the label and correspondent clubnight to a wider audience.
