Indie Dance Top 100 09-2021 - Part 1

Pre-order: https://kompakt.fm/releases/prometal_fan_decor_only_product_12

You might know @barntofmagazine as one of the people behind the idiosyncratic imprints Magazine and Schalen, through which he released his most of his EPs and the incomparable 2014 debut album, 'Magazine 13.'; or maybe you know the thread of beautiful, unpredictable club hits he’s woven with labels like Cómeme and Hinge Finger.

Despite living in Cologne, and being friends with the label, Barnt has not put out anything on @kompakt yet, apart from an one-off appearance on 'Pop Ambient 11' over a decade ago. An EP had been in the air for several years, but it took Barnt a bit of time to get into the right state of mind, because he wanted to make sure the music paid tribute to “the ceremonial, emotional, grand sprit” that he connects with Kompakt.

Typical to the producer’s modus operandi, 'ProMetal Fan Decor Only Product' spins out a surprising narrative, catching the listener unawares, while remaining fundamentally Barnt. 

The hypnotic psychedelic reels of 'This Is For Decor Only' are Barnt gone trance, a sensual glide of a track that pirouettes out an eternity of sizzling hi-hats and strip light melodies.

Premiere: Barnt 'This Is For Decor Only'

Mannequin EP

Mannequin (feat. Dasha Meelo)

Fresh into a mid-pandemic summer of heartbreak and descending chaos, Ardalan and Nala each grappled with the frustrations of a love lost and the exhaustion tied to managing the insatiable insecurities of past lovers and friends.

Habits Die Hard represents a release for both artists as Nala shouts 'Oh, you're not perfect? Well, welcome to the party!' A chant designed to reclaim her own power after enduring the pain caused by hurt people who hurt people.

Inspired by their love for rock and dance music, Habits Die Hard is an ode to the indie sleaze aughts where artists like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Soulwax reigned supreme. Ardalan shines with a new flavor of rough and rugged sound design motivated by their joint love for punk rock.

Pig&Dan debut on Truesoul with a stirring personal work, while Raxon adds an energetic remix to package.

Pig&Dan possess one of the finest pedigrees in techno and are faithful contributors to Drumcode, dropping their most recent EP – the excellent ‘Infinity’ – in February. ‘Promised’ marks their maiden release on DC’s little brother imprint and has a heart-breaking story behind its creation as Dan explains: "whilst enfolded in sadness we started to write a record dedicated to the loss of my son due to a terrible road accident. The vocal says it all ‘you promised you would live forever’ symbolising that your child will usually outlive you as the parent.”

The track’s lilting organ line makes a haunting accompaniment to the vocal, while tender synths and deep grooves ensure it’s a beautiful, timeless tribute. Egypt’s Raxon, who first debuted on Truesoul in 2017 with the ‘Heliopolis’ EP, delivers a tougher peak-time rework.

An inspired collaboration which delivers more than the sum of its parts.

Innellea and Kevin De Vries have both broken through in the past couple of years, pushing distinctive, high-energy sounds for the floor. On the ‘Hoffnungsschimmer’ EP, the colourful tones of Innellea’s synth work and Kevin’s hard-hitting drama are a perfect match, resulting in three diverse and unique creations. ‘Das Licht’ and ‘Mondfinsternis’ are both euphoric, peak-time efforts full of stirring elements and forward motion. The title track’s more downtempo atmosphere and breakbeats balance the EP into a rounded whole.
