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.

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.

Info:

After one and a half decade and more than 370 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.
How to define ambient? In the strictest sense Compost Records hardly offers any of this. But what if you decide to look within tracks and add some darkness and deep beats here and there....? Well, there you have it.
Rupert & Mennert already dug into the big Compost archives to deliver selections of remixes, downbeat, experimental and jazz (vol. 1 & 2). This successor will be their sixth mixed selection. But this one is different... this time they dug so deep into the vault that they were actually lost for several weeks. Luckily they had their record player and laptop with them so they survived! And when they resurfaced, what did they dig up? A great compilation of literally ‘parts of music’. With a total of 20 tracks and loads of snippets, they deliver a mix of 67 minutes which is the ultimate ‘Compost Ambient Experience’! To listen to the tracks on their own is great, but mixed together it’s astonishing.
What to expect? Tracks from Jean Paul Bondy, Dan Curtin, Ben Mono, Felix Laband, Joash, Alif Tree, Taran, TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos, The Nova Dream Sequence (= King Britt), Four Ears, Genf, KJM and Funkstörung. They also layed their hands on two new exclusive tracks which were never heard before on Compost. An old and rare track from Beanfield and a track from T_Mo (= Timo Garcia).
So please relax and treat yourself to the dark ambient sounds of the Compost cosmos!
Who are Rupert&Mennert?
They reside in Den Helder, The Netherlands. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. From there they send their fine radio show into the wide world. The show is currently re-invented. The Sound of Swound ran for more then 200 shows. But it will be replaced by something even better: “Weird Pigs - not for copycats”. Besides their love for broadcasting they produce music too. Together with Me Raabenstein they released, as Lagerfeltz, an album on Nonine Recordings, Berlin.Together with remix-work for Energie du Verre and Ensemble du Verre (Batterie Records, Hamburg) and Timo Garcia (Compost) their release-roster is building. The cherry on the cake is the selection of one of their remixes on the new Future Sound of Jazz 12 (picked by the Compost head-honcho himself).
And off course you can expect more Compost Selections from their hand too. Currently they are working on a second ‘Remixes Selection ‘and a ‘Female Vocals Selection’.

Info:

After more than one and a half decade and more than 390 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.

Since the early days of Compost Records, latin, especially brazilian influenced music played a major role. In the mid 90s the label started to release the renowned „Glücklich“ compilation series (Vol. I - IV – compiled by Rainer Trüby), which would collect a variety of uplifting brazilian fusion grooves and have a significant impact on new genres like NuJazz, Lounge or Chill Out. 
With this selection, we present some listening pearls from that era influenced related to latin and brazilian roots. Starting with A Forest Mighty Black`s „Everything“ (1996), a lot of Compost key players like Kyoto Jazz Massive, Trüby Trio, Minus 8, Joseph Malik, Eddy Meets Yannah, Fauna Flash or Victor Davis are represented. 
This selection spans the entire musical range from traditional sounding pieces e.g. Intuit´s „Criança Das Ondas“ to more modern uplifiting adaptions like Seiji´s rework on Steppah Huntah´s „Walk This Step“ or the Swell Session Remix for Ennio Morricone´s classic „The Good, The Bad And The Ugly“. The perfects moods to enjoy a Caipirinha at the beach bar and start to dance in the sands.

About Tom Burclay:
Munich resident Tom Burclay started spinning records in 1996, but he’s devoted to music since his childhood. He played trumpet in a big band performing classics like Weather Report`s "Birdland" or Herbie Hancock`s "Chameleon". Thus his musical roots are based on jazz, funk, soul, also latin, respectively brasilian music like bossa nova or samba rock. „It´s all about a good vibe“ – that principle he followed over the years, the complex rhythms and delightful harmonies of brazilian and latin music are just essential elements to reflect that vibe. In his sets, those elements are distinctive, if it´s handmade or electronic like deep house, drum`n`base or something you maybe would call fusion breaks, always having in mind brazilian legends like Jorge Ben Jor, João Gilberto, Marcos Valle, Gilberto Gil or Edu Lobo (just to name a few...).

“To me, remixing is about honouring the original composition by deconstructing it and adding new ideas from my own sound universe, and in that sense create something entirely new.“

Kasper Bjørke is no stranger to the art of the remix, having amassed a prodigious back catalogue over the past half decade. However, unlike so many other artists driven to churn out versions to keep their name in the limelight, one gets the sense that the young Dane has a quality control mechanism that elevates each mix he puts his name to – and a crucially deft ear for the artists he invites to rework his own compositions.

It’s with that in mind that hfn music proudly presents Remix Crusades (2007 – 2013) – a timely reminder that remixes can offer committed artists the creative platform to produce some of their most inventive work. Split evenly down the middle, half of this release focuses on remixes of Kasper Bjørke tracks over the past 5 years (including tracks of his 2012 album release ‘Fool’), with the second half a treasure trove of remixes he made for other artists.

Available in one place for the first time, the collection (which also contains a couple of exclusive unreleased tracks), is a perfect summation of the Bjørke’s disco-fied house music style, and a great opportunity for the non-DJs to catch up with his exceptionally high output over the last few years.

The list of artists lining up to re-interpret his original compositions is mouth-watering to say the least – from US sensations Nicolas Jaar, Still Going and Slow Hands, to the cream of European club land – rising stars Mano le Tough, Maxxi Soundsystem and Catz’n Dogz, underground flag-bearers Wareika, and fellow countrymen Trentemøller, WhoMadeWho and Kenton Slash Demon.

When Bjørke himself is at the controls, the results are no less devastating. Bjørke describes the process thus, “a remix portfolio becomes a sort of production diary that can go hand in hand with my own original material. It reflects my influences of the time I worked on the remix – and sometimes you can hear sounds and ideas in the remixes that have affected compositions on my own singes and albums.”

As evidence of this, witness the outstanding work he produces for the likes of Michoacan, Trentemøller, Ilya Santana, Moby, Gluteus Maximus, Human Woman and many more. His talent for deconstructing wildly disparate styles and pulling together tracks that are definitively by the hand of Kasper Bjørke, is clear to see.

iTunes customers will also be blessed with the chance to snatch up two unreleased tracks – made up of Bjørke reworks for GusGus and Danish legends Laid Back - and an exclusive pre-release remix of Cómeme´s hot property Rebolledo.

Indoor Life are: 

J.A. Deane composes, performs, conducts and produces electronic music, collaborating as well as touring with such diverse pioneering musicians as Jon Jon Hassel, Butch Morris, John Zorn, and Tim Motzer. He is also director of Out Of Context, an improvisational orchestra that pushes the boundaries of conducted composition. (jadeane.com) 

Bob Hoffnar focuses his musicianship on playing steel guitar, performing, composing, recording and touring both solo and in collaboration, and appearing as a guest in various bands. His unique improvisational approach to pedalsteel explores the parameters of popular song, blurring distinctions between genres in unexpected ways. (bobhoffnar.net) 

Joeseph Sabella plays vibes, marimba, wavedrum, and ipad – in lieu of traditional drums, and mostly in the service of electronic music. He plays together with J.A. Deane as the DJ Duo and in Deane’s improvisational orchestra, Out of Context, spending a good part of his remaining time cooking.

Jorge Socarras has newly recorded with DJ/Producer Mathias Schaffhäuser as electronica duo Fanatico, and as guest vocalist with the group Soft Rocks. His early Catholic recordings with synthesizer maestro Patrick Cowley were released on Macro in 2009. Socarras writes on the arts, and has completed three books of fiction, and havin his first novel published, called "The Immortal's Last Breath" a horror-fantasy about a 3,500-year-old Tantric vampire in India. The book is both electronically and in paperback on Damnation Books: http://www.damnationbooks.com Soon completed a second novel, a noir fiction that takes places in the New York underground scene of 1980.

Quotes:
"Indoor Life is one of the few modern practitioners of beautiful music." (Andy Warhol’s Interview, 1980) Glenn O'Brien's column from Andy Warhol's "Interview" magazine, December 1980 (Diana Vreeland cover) Glenn, who is now "The Style Guy" at GQ Magazine, was one of the most prominent writers on the downtown Manhattan music scene, and twice he wrote about Indoor Life for Warhol's Interview.
"Indoor Life invents a new trance music, a voodoo ritual for the last urban night before the apocalypse." (Actuel, French magazine, Actuel Hit Parade with Indoor Life as No. 1 pick.)
"One of the most exciting independent releases of the year... beautiful, hypnotic funk, which is very atmospheric, sculpted and dense..." NMR (New Music Report) Jackpot Essential New Music (1983)
"Indoor Life... go beyond such easy labeling (as techno pop). Theirs is a driving, compelling, hypnotic music, that yes, you can dance to. But it also creeps up on you when you're sitting still." (Billboard Top Album Picks, 7/16/83)

Info: After one and a half decade and more than 400 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.

Ever since the beginning of electronic music the voice was considered an instrument that shouldn’t be forgotten. So when everybody considered the beats and the bass as the King, there was still love for vocals. Sometimes to create an atmosphere of tribalism with its own mantras, sometimes as a work of poetry. But always present.

From the depths of the Compost vaults vocal tracks were selected and mixed by Rupert & Mennert. Compost and Rupert & Mennert are more than proud to present two shining examples of all the great songs that were sung and produced in the last two decades.

Could one say that this particular ‘Compost Selection’ defines a genre? Well... not entirely. Do all the great vocalists that sang on an immense amount of Compost releases deserve their own spotlight? Well... hell yes!
The first take has the appropriate sub-title: Sisters. On this very compilation, thirteen tracks are selected and mixed together. With vocal contributions by Bajka, Siri Svegler, Vanessa Freeman, Nasreen Shah, Virag and many more. The tracks will go back and forth through all kinds of genres. From the bit-hop of Ben Mono, post broken beats of Beanfield and Sistars and the poppy electronics from Marbert.Rocel, Siri Svegler to the beats by
Douglas Greed and Phreek Plus One. Bringing you the soulful sounds of Minus 8 and Sepalot and an absolute stunning funky hysterical remix by Quantic.

So let the sisters of Compost be your guide through their musical landscape!

Who are Rupert&Mennert?
Rupert & Mennert reside in Den Helder, The Netherlands. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. From there they send their music into the wide world. They broadcast a highly irregular radioshow called Weird Pigs. They remix tracks and invent new concepts about making music. One of those mysterious new concepts is called: Brain Connection Series... also on Compost Records. And of course you can expect more Compost Selections from their hand too.

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.
