Sentient & Left Path - Downcast

The Madrid-based duo formed by Rama and Pedro, aka Teemon & Poomba, make their debut on Rotten City Files with the Stellar Rain EP, following their acclaimed work on labels like Música Cavernícola and Espacio Cielo. This release features two original tracks and two remixes by Psycho Weazel and Alvaro Cabana, offering an opportunity to revisit the "Euro Disco" roots and influences of the label.

"Meteoro Rain" is a track with an Italo vibe that, combined with Rosa's vocals, gives the song a retro character. A hopeful synth melody and modern production provide it with the necessary strength to shine on the dance floor without losing its nostalgic soul.

On the other hand, "Stellar Love" retains the Italo essence of the previous track but leans more into epic melodies and arpeggios. It shares the same nostalgic soul and power but is tailored for those who connect more with instrumental productions.

Label head honcho Alvaro Cabana reimagines the first track with a '90s groove, adding a faster tempo and a mood reminiscent of late-'90s Tech/Progressive House, with some nods to classic "Reese" productions (“Rock To the Beat”).

Closing the release, the Swiss duo Psycho Weazel (Exploited, Correspondant, Iptamenos) transforms Stellar Love into a peak-time bomb made for the dance floor, with a hypnotic, trance-like mood sure to delight the most devoted rave heads.

PREMIERE! Teemon & Poomba - Meteoro Rain Feat. Rosa Venenosa (Alvaro Cabana Remix)

April sees Crisis Of Man welcome Brooklyn artist John Yienger with his debut EP, Peak Time Duty. Made during a period of many ups and downs, the release draws upon the vivid history of NYC's rich clubbing history. John provides six modern yet timeless, club-focused techno tracks to create big moments on big sound systems.


Premiere: John Yienger - Moving Swiftly [COM037]

Crisis Of Man welcomes back Brooklyn-native Alex Hoffman, aka Brälle, under his deeper, more introspective alias Gentian. Where Brälle ventures into darker and more cerebrally intense realms, Gentian takes the opposite route, instead focusing on deeper, more melancholic, and euphoric techno. This is the true sound of melodic techno.

[COM038] Gentian - Smoke Or Fire?

SFRX, the single-track focused sublabel of Secret Fusion, proudly presents its fifth release — and this time, the heads of the label themselves step into the spotlight.
Aura Euphoria is a slowly unfolding journey of epic beauty. In our vision, this is trance — not the genre, but the state of mind. Anchored by a hypnotic acid bassline, layered with dubby textures and shimmering, emotive tones, it captures that elusive moment when the dancefloor dissolves into pure euphoria.
As Secret Factory’s first appearance on their own sublabel, Aura Euphoria is a statement piece: deep, cinematic, and made for those who crave immersion over instant gratification.
Lose yourself in the Aura.

We're delighted to welcome back Amount, aka Nayan Soukie, to Darkroom Dubs as he returns with four subterranean throbbers that effervesce with trance-inducing lawlessness. 

A Darkroom Dubs favourite who first debuted in 2013 as one-half of house-combo Soukie & Windish. Since then, he's flourished as a renowned producer, DJ, and seasoned live performer, developing a penchant for sleazy burners primed for the darkest of rooms and those hazy, sunrise-lit, after-hours moments. 

This latest offering from the Berlin native, entitled Zeroton, is an essential addition to an already impressive back catalogue, with appearances on imprints such as Feines Tier, Running Back, Frank Music and his own URSL label. 

Play 'em loud & play 'em proud!

PREMIERE: Zeroton [Darkroom Dubs]

New Release Incoming on Riotvan! And it’s someone we already hold close to our hearts. After making serious noise on our last compilation, we’re beyond stoked to finally present a full EP by none other than Mufti.

This time, the Mexican producer dives into darker, more house-infused territory, an unexpected turn that hits just right. Think late-night haze meets early morning bliss: a heady mix of acid, house, dark wave, and a whisper of romantic melancholy, all wrapped in a sound that feels unmistakably now. We’ve been hooked from first listen, and trust us, you will be too. Mufti is in the house.

To top it off: Gallegos leaves his unmistakable signature on the record with a remix of “Lovers Everywhere”. What a remix. Seriously!

Mufti - Shuttt [Riotvan]

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/panorama_x_press

Here’s a little amuse gueule for the 25th edition of our beloved TOTAL compilation series which will drop on the 10th of October. Gui Boratto has been an integral part of Kompakt’s history for a while and we’re elated to welcome him back to the fold with his latest creation “Panorama X-Press”. Gui’s incredible production prowess is fully on display here. A funky, chunky bassline paths the way for what we believe is one of the Brazilian’s wildest forays into psychedelic terrains to date. A true rollercoaster of a track!
