Artists such as Martin Waslewski, andhim and Stephan Bodzin all turn-in fantastic edits but today we concentrate on the masterful DJ Koze's re-imagining. 

His edit barely gives you a second to breathe before sharp and jagged synths come cutting through, kicking things off with a clear statement of intent.

Expect echoed and eerie vocal stabs, a powerful drive and that inimitable DJ Koze sound. This is one great remix.

Can't Do Without You


KÖLSCH - Speicher 79

Starting out in 2001 to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, SPEICHER has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, allowing KOMPAKT to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. For SPEICHER 79, revered producer and live performer KÖLSCH returns to the series where it all begun, delivering two distinct cuts that masterfully distill all the elements of his earlier work for an even stronger floor impact.

Wrong Rhythm Studies

The mighty Disko B records out of Vienna has been plugged into the mainline of dark and strange club and art music for 23 (!) years now, with heavyweights like Patrick Pulsinger, Blake Baxter, Unit Mobeius and Chicks On Speed providing its foundations, but always being willing to branch out and take a punt on new projects. Flug 8, a new identity for musician-photographer Daniel Herrmann, is a project rooted in the kosmische-motorik traditions of pre-techno Germanic music, but with gloss and finesse that are pure 21st century and a beautiful sense of isolation that expresses a world where too many connections can make us paradoxically disconnected. This first track perfectly captures that, but also reminds us of how we can reconnect in darkened rooms in the mysterious hours of the night.

LYRICS:
You with the wide eyes, don't lose your courage
You swing your head high and don't be worried
Your heart's in a free ride, feel it beating
Caught in the headlights, climb to the ceiling

We're all animals out in the dark
Got a feeling that we're all believing in
Not waiting for daylight to start
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

You with the sad smile, don't lose your courage
Dance in the high tide and don't be worried
Your soul's in a wild fire, feel it beating
Dreams on a gold wire, won't you believe it?

We're all animals out in the dark
Got a feeling that we're all believing in
Not waiting for daylight to start
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

We are going over, we are going over and over

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

Midnight Moon

Order our album

"All U Writers" maintains that quintessential !!! trait of blending electronic and organic elements in dance, but they approached it in this instance in a novel way. "It's definitely a club track," says Offer. "There's elements in it that are from an original jam that the band was doing, chopped up and fucked with. It's almost like we sampled ourselves."

MORE AT THUMP

!!! - All U Writers

Second wave Detroit techno icon Carl Craig is no stranger to weirdness. Of his whole generation, he's always the guy who takes things that little bit further, stranger, more abstract. So when Swiss veteran Mirko Loko (Cadenza, Desolat, Planet E, Visionquest) offered up remix duties on his minimal-tech groover "Kolor" from his upcoming Color Plan EP on Cadenza, Craig took the opportunity to make not one, but two separate remixes.

Mirko Loko - Kolor (c2 Remix Part Two)


An epic sonic journey crossing classic Kompakt territory - from Pop Ambient to tuneful techno and house -, VAL MAIRA is not just the extended follow-up to DAVE DK's much-adored PALMAILLE 12" (KOMPAKT 277), a release that already stood out for its almost uncanny emulation of Kompakt's more impressionist panoply, but a sonic achievement in its own right - a record as delicate as it is candid, deliberately showcasing all its strengths and dodges, but ultimately - magically - amounting to so much more than the mere sum of its parts. In many ways, VAL MAIRA is the perfect Kompakt record, albeit one that Kompakt never made. Until now.

Dave's third full-length after his 2007 album on Moodmusic and a debut on Müller Records in 2000, this new offering named after a valley in the Italian mountains goes beyond admittedly impressive production skills, aiming for deeply personal expressiveness and emotional impact. From the tender dawning of opener FADE IN to the solid dance chops of enticingly grooving cuts like SMUKKE LYDE, NUEVA CANCION or COOLETTE, the record's preoccupation with the mutual dependencies of harmony and discord is quickly revealed: "I've tried to create an interlocking atmosphere of merriment and melancholy for the full duration of an album", says the producer, not withholding his intention to create something beautiful: "I hope that one can hear a little bit of hope in the tracks, like everything's going to be fine."

You might be forgiven for taking this as a massive understatement, coming from someone who seems to know a fair deal about that elusive something called human warmth. "Although you can be incredibly creative thanks to limitless digital means, I think that the biggest challenge lies in creating a link to something human, generating feelings of warmth that reach and move the listener", says Dave - painting the picture of a highly reflective artist that spends much time with fine-tuning the emotional registry of his pallet, laboring vigorously over the concept of a track as he does over its sound design: "before anything else, I need an idea and a general notion of the development of a track - just jamming doesn't work well for me." All the more surprising how all this planning and thinking translates into something as organic sounding and nearly self-emergent as HALMA, VEIRA or WHITEHILL, the latter featuring the distinctive (and decidedly human) vocals from PIPER DAVIS of Stimming fame.

One could very well describe these tracks as both intimate and sociable at the same time, a rare combination that might also account for the vivid sonic storytelling present in cuts like KRONSEE (referring to an actual lake near Dave's birthplace) or WE MIX AT SIX, the synaesthetic retelling of a delayed party at the beaches of Barcelona, where someone spray-painted the title's vital information on a t-shirt swaying in the summerly breeze. Heavily influenced by film soundtracks, drone sounds and organic noise, DAVE DK obviously feels very close to the perpetual atmospheric hum in between sounds, finding hooks and grannies in the tiniest nooks and crannies - and to hear these eleven tracks lovingly intertwining their inspirations while seemingly creating nutrient-rich textures and meaningful melodies out of thin ether remains a riveting experience even after the nth play-back.

 • The riveting new full-length from Berlin's finest DAVE DK
 • An epic sonic journey brimming with impressionist techno, pop- infused house and gorgeously textured ambient
 • 2xLP+CD edition pressed on 180gr vinyl
