KOMPAKT fans should have been familiar with the name Nicky Elisabeth for some time now. At the beginning of 2019, Nicky joined the KOMPAKT family and from then on was spotted more and more often not only at KOMPAKT events, but also in the line-ups of renowned festivals (DGTL, Strafwerk, amongst others) and clubs. And who doesn't remember the legendary "Kompakt Pop Up Party" in October 2019 during the Amsterdam Dance Event, streamed live from Nicky's living room, where together with Michael Mayer and Rex The Dog she finally conquered our hearts in a flash? 

Nicky Elisabeth lives and works in Amsterdam and is one of the resident DJs of De Marktkantine, one of the most established clubs in the Dutch capital and long-time host of KOMPAKT parties of all kinds. Anyone who has experienced one of these parties there will find much of the special atmosphere and punchy sound of those nights in Nicky's KOMPAKT debut 12inch "Celeste". 

It seems obvious to interpret the two tracks "Celeste" and "Say" as a kind of loving homage to the KOMPAKT sound of the last three decades. With sparing means Nicky manages to elicit a maximum of energy and catchiness from her two tracks, always carried by a sure instinct for breaks and the right timing for small escalations - something that good DJs simply have in their blood. In the end, it's always about the dramaturgy. 

The two remixes of the title track "Celeste" from the hands of the grand masters Robag Wruhme and Roman Flügel are no less "celestial" than the original. Robag Wruhme in particular gives the piece something wonderfully floating and dreamy in his arrangement, as he also managed to do on his 12-inch "Yes/Calma Calma“ (KOM EX 115). Roman builds in little deconstructions here and there, sometimes going left, sometimes heading right, to finally let himself be carried away by the good-humoured nineties vibe. One can hardly wait to finally experience all this on the dance floor again.

Bantwanas is a collective of South African producers, songwriters and musicians collaborating to bring top-quality African house music. At ten members strong, the collective contains five vocalists, a drummer, a guitarist, a pianist and is spearheaded by the producers of the group: Ryan Murgatroyd and Blanka Mazimela. 

Marking their Anjunadeep debut with ‘Dingane’, Bantwanas fuse traditional African tones and vocals with contemporary dance beats. After their recent success on labels including All Day I Dream and their own imprint Bantwanas Kollektiv, the South African group prove themselves to be at the forefront of the Organic Afro House movement. 

Alongside the original, Berlin-based producer Powel and Soweto native Fka Mash stamp their mark on ‘Dingane’. Powel utilises the polyphonic rhythms in his remix showcasing why he’s released on All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit On The Furniture Recordings and Stil vor Talent. Fka Mash pays homage to South Africa’s diverse range of musical styles that have seen him supported by Black Coffee, Kid Fondue, Jullian Gomes and Sébastien Léger.

Dusky present their rework of Trance Wax’s ‘Northern Sky’. Available now on Anjunabeats.

Dusky are London-based producers Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman. Their association with Anjuna goes back over a decade. Their debut album ‘Stick By This’ – released in 2011 – was Pete Tong’s album of the year.

Their long-awaited second album ‘Outer’ was released on Polydor in 2016 and included collaborations with Gary Numan, Wiley and Solomon Grey. They now release almost exclusively on their own 17 Steps imprint, championing music from the likes of Bwana (aka Nathan Micay), Third Son, Polymod and Velvit.

Their remix of 'Northern Sky' follows their rework of Gerd Janson and Catz 'n Dogz's 'Modern Romance', released on Running Back Records in April 2021.

Trance Wax is an alias of Belfast-born producer Garry McCartney, also known as Ejeca. Celebrating the music he fell in love with as a teenager, his Trance Wax project began as an anonymous series of vinyl-only bootlegs back in 2015. Garry’s lovingly crafted edits of classics from Yves Deyurter, BT and Mauro Picotto became peak-time anthems for Bicep, Nina Kraviz, Denis Sulta, The Blessed Madonna and Job Jobse to name a few. A BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix followed soon after.

Two Trance Wax edits of Above & Beyond’s much-loved OceanLab project were released on Anjunabeats in 2019, with the debut Trance Wax album following in November 2020.

Trance Wax ‘Northern Sky’ (Dusky Remix) is out now.

Anjunadeep warmly welcomes London-based DJ and producer Hammer for his debut release on the label - a dynamic remix of Dosem’s ‘Unclosed’.

As one of the co-pilots of the ‘Feel My Bicep’ blog, Hammer has been immersed in the UK electronic scene from a young age. Having collaborated with Bicep on the acclaimed ‘Dahlia EP’, and released cuts on labels like Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondent, Denis Sulta’s Silver Service, Loft, Modern Magic, and Hotflush, the Belfast-born producer has cultivated a reputation for expertly blending soul, disco and techno. Hammer’s ‘Unclosed’ remix doubles down on Dosem’s powerful original, emphasising a driving low end and an unrelenting percussive topline.

‘Unclosed’ was originally heard on Dosem’s ‘Dream Decoder’, an album composed during long stays in Tokyo. The album reflects the bustling metropolis from which it was inspired, resulting in a futuristic, colourful, and distinct sound that was supported by the likes of Joris Voorn, Maceo Plex, Gorgon City, Solomun, and Edu Imbernon.

British DJ and producer Boxer returns to Anjunadeep with his ‘Sun Kissed EP’. Since his label debut on Anjunadeep Explorations 09 with ‘Blue Planet’, Boxer has gone on to release on labels including Armada, Colorize and Enhanced. 

Boxer collaborates with Anjunadeep bosses Jody Wisternoff & James Grant on title track ‘Sun Kissed’, a breakbeat-forward fan favourite from the recent Anjunadeep 12 compilation. Second track ‘Make Me Wild’ features vocals from Los Angeles-based RYTERBAND. The EP closes with ‘Free’ and ‘Come With Me’, two diverse tracks that showcase Boxer’s versatility and flair for atmospheric sound design, and that have earned him support from DJs including Lane 8, Steve Lawler and Richy Ahmed.

The Anjunadeep Edition 468 with Cornelius SA (Live from Explorations)

'Eli Baltsan, known professionally as DJ Zombi is an Israeli producer, remixer and one of the most advanced Tel Aviv artists who have reshaped electronic music worldwide. Baltsan's Armadillo Records debut brilliantly exposes over fifteen minutes of pure audio magic. It’s electronica at its best! This two track release signed for avant-garde Guy J's label is an expression of that classic, yet eternally new idea and passion, that brings an old-fashioned sparkle of positivism and delight to the digital world. These instrumentals are a sonic reflexion of what it signifies to be enlightened; what it’s like to express intimacy, melancholia, bliss, and the whole nine yards in between. AR014 is on the whole a superior release, definitely worth hearing and appreciating.'

Handpicked by Jody Wisternoff & James Grant, the Anjunadeep 12 Samplers feature memorable moments from this year’s flagship compilation. Anjunadeep 12 Sampler 1 includes tracks from Karmarin and Ezequiel Arias as well as a new Jody Wisternoff and James Grant rework. 

James Grant and Jody Wisternoff open the sampler with their remix of A. Silver Mt. Zion’s track ’13 Angels Standing Guard ‘Round The Side Of Your Bed’. After Jody recommended James to watch the hit Netflix series Top Boy, James fell in love with the track: “‘Angels Standing Guard’ provides the backdrop to one of the most poignant scenes in the show. The haunting vocals were crying out for a remix, so we were pretty chuffed to get our hands on the stems and to be able to include the mix on Anjunadeep 12”.

Karmarin marks his Anjunadeep debut with ‘Selene’, an uplifting dance track leading with carefully crafted synths and fluctuating arpeggios. Closing the release, Argentina producer Ezequiel Arias returns to the label with his first solo Anjunadeep release ‘Solar’. Charterised with a pulsing bass and percussion-laden grooves, Ezequiel demonstrates why he’s been supported by Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Eelke Kleijn.

Gothenburg based producer Ebende returns to all my thoughts with new single ‘For Love’, taken from his forthcoming debut album on the label out later this year.

Coinciding with Valentines Day, ‘For Love’ is a love letter to the clubs - a rave-reminiscent, big-room track with radiant chords, trippy drum breaks and a heavy low end that reverberates consistently underneath the echoed vocal hints and anthemic top lines.
