Hard to believe how time flies – it's been exactly 6 years, 4 months, and 19 days since we released our very first compilation. Back then, everything was new and we had no idea where the journey would take us. Over the years, downtempo has evolved significantly and continuously reinvented itself.

Today, we're releasing our tenth and - for now - final compilation. From the beginning, it was important to us to provide a platform for new and emerging artists – and up until this tenth compilation, we’re proud to say that no artist appeared more than once. For this special occasion, we're breaking with that tradition and have invited several long-time companions to join us in shaping this moment.

A big thank you to all the artists for their contributions, and to all our listeners for your continued support. Special thanks also go to Kilian Van de Water, whose unique style has always played a key role in creating the overall identity of our label.

welle #8 mit Dynamo Detlov

Following the recent premiere of 'Your Spell' — a soulful invocation born of the alchemical meeting between DÂNTE and Arula — we’re now excited to share an equally touching reinterpretation of the song delicately crafted by Montreal-based producer and soundweaver Oiseau de nuit. Known for his hypnotic fusions of unhurried dub vibrations and minimalistic, sensual reverie, Oiseau de nuit brings his signature touch to this evocative remix.

His version drifts like a dream remembered at dusk — elusive, tender and slightly surreal. Stripping the original down to its emotional essence, he drapes it in velvet synths and echoing rhythms, conjuring a nocturnal atmosphere where time stretches and dissolves. It’s a reimagining that lingers in the liminal: between night and morning, memory and desire, silence and sound. Pure beauty 🤍

PREMIERE: DÂNTE, Arula - Your Spell (Oiseau de nuit Remix) [Art Of Downtempo]

Kolja & Bepo - Schwarm (Zhart & Tonda Remix)

💭 A swarm is a formation of many birds flying as one. They move together in perfect coordination, gaining incredible strength through unity. As a group, they can cover hundreds of kilometers, almost like a single organism, following its own rules, rhythm and instincts. It is a beautiful metaphor for connection, movement and collective energy just like in music and at those events where different elements come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

🎵 Zhart & Tonda did a remix for Schwarm. It’s a track with a lot of organic sounds, especially percussions. They glued a panned lead together and the whole vibe becomes a bit trippy. The groove flows naturally, drawing you deeper into its hypnotic rhythm. Always that signature Schwarm feeling and still a joy to listen to.

Kolja & bepo - Schwarm (Zhart & Tonda Remix) [KataHaifisch]

It felt very special to play on an artwork I helped build, deep in the South African desert. The sculpture—a pregnant woman lying on her back— represented a symbol of peace and unity. A place of rebirth. A space for transformation and release.

I wanted to play a downtempo set that honored that feeling. It is a compilation of some of the tracks that touched me the most since discovering downtempo in 2020 (including one of the very first downtempo track I ever danced to).

KRUG Records Compilation No. 4 – Quaddro Swampioni 🍕🫠🪱

Forget quattro stagioni – this is quattro mutazioni.
A bizarre pizza baked in bassmud, topped with swamparella, and dripping with fungo-frequencies, cheesy with a swampycrust.

This sound is so crunchy you can chew it.
Fluff-crust downtempo.
Gooey midtempo mozzarella melts.
Sauce-drizzled synths that stick to your fingers, topped with some fresh BASSil.

Make it until you bake it ♨️
Buon swampetito! 🍕🌱🌀

Während Petterson am Angelteich ein Nickerchen macht, streunert das Katerchen rum und schnurstracks übers DJ-Pult und na sowas! Findus hat Ausversehen den Loop Button gedrückt - jetzt schnurrts tiefe Bässe in Dauerschleife!

Danke @jolaya_sound für die ultra schönen musikalischen Reisen, die wir immer wieder zusammen mit den Tracks von ganz vielen tollen Artists basteln dürfen - und danke an alle, die zu diesem schönen Tag beigetragen haben! <3

“Passerine (Remixes)” brings Catatonique’s downtempo track into new territory with six fresh takes from friends around the world. 

The original and VIP versions set the foundation at 92 bpm, while Cavedweller’s remix adds a dark sub‑bass layer that changes the mood without touching the tempo. Juliano Gomez and Oondza pick up the pace slightly, delivering groovy slow‑techno renditions. Alacrán del Amor and Fernn go even further, turning the track into slow‑techno bangers with their signature bouncy touches. vietzen closes the EP with a progressive house remix that builds tension and plays creatively with the original elements. 

Despite the BPM shifts, all versions keep the melodic thread that makes “Passerine” instantly recognisable.

For Ritter Butzke's seventh anniversary we wanted to put together a proper collaboration release with 3 original tracks from our key artists. The first is a special duo collaboration between Kotelett & Zadak and Kuriose Naturale – „Klaus Your Eyes“ is an energetic track with a deep undertone due to its classy chord melody. Next are Manuel Moreno and Patryk Molinari whose track „What It Is“ perfectly carries both artists thumbprints. In short: Perfect grooves, a well-conceived arrangement and an emotional breakdown. Last but not least we have our label head Mario Aureo and youngster Iorie, who put their heads together in the studio to create a dark and spooky track with a catchy synth melody. We are very proud of the outcome and hope you like them as much as we do!
