KÖLSCH - SPEICHER 84

BUY Vinyl: http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/speicher_84

It's the long-awaited return of a classic combo - Kompakt luminaries MICHAEL MAYER and REINHARD VOIGT join forces for TIME IS RUNNING, the latest addendum in an ongoing conversation that brought us iconic releases such as Speicher 2 (KOMPAKT EXTRA 2, including the cuts "Pride Is Weaker Than Love" and "Supertiel"). As was to be expected from producers as floor-savvy as these two, the new offering bears all the hallmarks of a club favorite, incorporating the crisp rawness of early Kompakt stompers as well as the sophisticated sonics to be found in our current catalogue.
Ever since the days of Cologne's legendary techno supergroup Forever Sweet, MICHAEL MA YER and REINHARD VOIGT have teamed up in one way or another, sharing credits on label milestones like "Sky Dumont" (KOMPAKT EXTRA 28) or "Unter Null" (KOMPAKT EXTRA 07). The new release TIME IS RUNNING sees them presenting their own solo work, evenly spread over two sides of the same coin - a compilation of sorts, but with all the characteristics of a close collaboration between soulmates united under one groove. And based on the hilarious (and somewhat bittersweet) cover picture, this bond is not going to dissolve any time soon, as the two friends imagine themselves as techno retirees toasting to a full live spent amid beats and bass lines.

The A-side of TIME IS RUNNING holds a particularly sure- footed entry in MICHAEL MAYER's track portfolio, with THE STICKLER being a welcome update on his more raucous output. The straightforward thump of this cut comes with sizzling percussion, siren-like synth stabs and throaty bass - a hearty techno romp that doesn't seem too interested in making prisoners. The flipside takes a similar line with THE BUDDY, a rock-solid floor jam from the hands of REINHARD VOIGT - it's a more than fitting contribution, enforcing the producer's madcap hypnotism with paranoid synth squelches and tenacious beats. If that's how old age sounds, we can't wait to hit that pension fund.

It's been a long time in the making. From their early days as label-mates on the legendary Gigolo records, these two dons have remixed each other, DJ'd back-to-back, even worked on the same motion picture together (Ivory Tower), but not until now have they teamed up so completely, or to such devastating effect. On the eve on BNR's 10 year celebrations, where the two will headline a series of 6 shows together, Turbo proudly presents '100.'

Both producers come through clearly: the slamming drums and acid Boys Noize has so thoroughly mastered, the clever vocal hooks, catchy basslines and ravey breakbeat flourishes that are the feathers in Tiga's boa - the best of both artists are brought together here, with a distinct nod to their electro roots. It's an immediate winner, asserting it's sonic prowess through a flawless arrangement, confidently proclaiming it's perfection in a slick, round triple-digit. One-hundred.

The magic, as in Mind Dimension, Let's Go Dancing, or Bugatti, is for packaging true pop into a compact, techno power-punch that leaves underground cred intact. Both Tiga and Boys Noize are outstandingly versatile DJs who consistently yearn for something more than the obvious tropes of EDM, embracing extremes, fitting in the esoteric, being connoisseurs of a multitude of micro-genres of electronic music. 'Jam #1' is an ode to these low-slung techno roots, a stripped-down bonus beat that lays down the law of the drum machine, and sets the stage for the forthcoming '808 IRAQ' pulled from the same Berlin studio-session, soon to be released on BNR.

Jean Agoriia - Le Nombre D'Or (Matt Minimal Remix)

Moudaber goes deep…. Yes, our beloved MOOD leader returns home with her latest single and a track that may surprise some, as Nicole gets her Dub on. 

Known for her fierce and electrifying prime time sets and powerful personal productions, Nicole is equally adept and at home building the floor and atmosphere from the very first beat. New single, Her Dub Material, is the perfect soundtrack for those early hours and takes influence from Nicole&#8217;s love for deep, warm, fathomless bass. Mysterious and yet inviting, Her Dub Material is built upon an unswerving groove. Strong, elegant and hypnotic. 

Staying true to the original whilst enticing with his own percussive flair is Argentinian producer Guti. Spanish sensation Marino Canal, fresh from his own full release on MOOD, mesmerises with his own steady tempo and synth laden breaks, before Alex Tepper closes the mix package by upping the ante further, whilst never losing the original&#8217;s groove.

Renowned for her genre-blending approach and sharp production skills, Brazilian-Austrian artist Joyce Muniz returns to Kompakt with her powerful new single, “Hack The System.” This track marks a bold artistic statement that goes beyond the dancefloor, merging infectious electronic rhythms with a deeper socio-political message.

Featuring vocals by Futuradora, “Hack The System” is a call to awareness—an urgent and rhythmic critique of structural inequalities and digital surveillance culture. With pulsing basslines and hypnotic synth work, Muniz crafts a track that is as politically charged as it is club-ready.

This is Muniz’s second release on Kompakt, following the critically acclaimed “Beats & Lines” with Sara Bluma. Where that track explored personal connection, “Hack The System” speaks to a collective resistance and the need for systemic change, aligning with Muniz’s roots in underground culture and activism.

“Hack The System” will be available via Kompakt’s digital platforms and streaming services.

When the demo of ‘Scorpio Rising’ landed in our office, we knew immediately: this has to be released in the summer! A hook is a hook is a hook. And what Lannakise sang into the mic for LOPEZHOUSE is definitely a big hook with barbs that sticks in your head. A pristine pop house masterpiece from the La Mancha native. The remix by Scottish techno legend Funk D’Void brings a deeper perspective to the mix which recalls Kompakt’s golden era sound of the 00’s and unfolds its full beauty in the early hours of the morning.

PREMIERE: Alvaro Cabana - Proto (Original Mix) [Duro Label]

When I first explored the label called Controlla, I was both shocked and surprised, and couldn't imagine such a thing existed in the audio-visual universe. Some years passed, and while it turned out we're running a Mexican-music-outlet @the_ali_x suddenly approached Complaint with crazy track ideas. Now we're talking.

Budapest's Tommy Huracán (aka @kobanya3000) made me wait over a year for this remix, but it's worth every day rolling the Rubik's around. The most consistent and perfect production of the EP, I'm proud, and have tears in my eyes each time listening to it. Thank you!
