EXTRAWELT & DOMINIK EULBERG - ...A LITTLE FURTHER (37 ROUTES) - COR12117

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/change_this_pain_for_ecstasy_digital_single

The formidable Rex The Dog returns with his first single for Kompakt in three years, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy”, a slow-burning disco-glitter stomp that’s charged with analogue energy. Pushing his self-built modular hardware set-up to its limits, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy” is taut and thrilling, stripped-back and pulsating, with sweeping chords shimmering through a classic Moroder arpeggio, as a delirious voice sings out a psychedelic raver’s plaint for liberation, pleading for you to "take away my sorrow and this pain”. Deeply emotional, it’s also a masterwork in tension and release, dizzy with snare-rush peaks, and dark, humid valleys where Rex is bound to the patchbay.

On the flipside, Rex gives us “Moto”, which tickles your ear with cymatic phenomena, its gentle vibrations building, beautifully, into a monster-piece of stealth techno. Rex’s DIY synths work overtime as he chases patterns and phases through circuitry, wilding the tones until they erupt into a spray of pointillist pizzicato. The sounds here crackle and corrode, the textures so tantalising, so sensual, you can almost grab hold of them with your hands. It’s great to have Rex The Dog back, making livewire, yet deeply human techno, alive and bursting with electricity.

Tired of grey skies and long faces? We’ve got a serious dose of musical vitamin D for you! This 12" is the inauguration of a new split EP format on Kompakt. More hits on one record. Less environmental impact. Everybody wins.

Deer Jade – Jukurpa

Deer Jade is hailing from the picturesque Lake of Geneva, an area about which the late Jean Paul Belmondo had to say a thing or two. Her infectious smile and uplifting energy behind the decks already made her a household name in clubs and festivals around the globe. This solo debut is an expression of her strong self confidence and in-syncness with the world surrounding her. “Jukurpa” might be just one of the most flamboyant house tunes you’ll come across this year, readymade for swaying to on an early summer morning dancefloor. “Cosmic Dream” is of a more introspective nature, putting gentle psychedelic synth movements to good use. There’s a lot of heart in Deer Jade’s music. We’re happy to give it a home.

David Hasert & Niconé – Wasting My Time With You

This Cologne – Berlin joint venture is shedding rays of sun galore with this lost in reverie deep house jam. Built around a catchy as hell soul vocal and occasional piano outbursts “Wasting My Time With You” will certainly be one of our favorite tunes to waste our time to in 2024.

Recondite - Think Twice EP
A long time friend of the label and an artist who needs no introduction, Recondite presents two unique techno narratives for his much anticipated first EP on Life and Death.

Up first and straight out the gate like the turning of the great Boethian wheel, Think Twice turns over and on top of itself again, like the march of time and the fortunes of paupers and princes alike. An ever advancing urgent reminder of the transitory nature of the eternal now, it graces us with her beauty and leaves us with a shaking sensation deep in our bones. 

On the B side, Serak begins with a bellowing bass emitted like a series of holotropic breaths from belly of Stanislav Grof himself. A sequence of sounds sent like a fishing line to the depths of the psyche, it returns with a portentous melody that winds and wanders until exploding midway thru the piece in a burst of restrained emotion.

WOLFGANG VOIGT’s surprising return to the PROTEKT series with DIE SCHALLPLATTE caused a medium-sized ruckus among collectors when the limited vinyl release was timed to coincide with the Record Store Day 2016, annual hunting grounds for all sorts of self-respecting vinyl fetichists. Sure enough, the record’s utterly sold out by now – which is why we decided to release an extended digital version of this fascinating little techno ode to the black gold. Presenting the original VIDEO MIX alongside the WASSERMANN REMIX and the VINYL COUNTDOWN REMIX from the vinyl release, we put more bounce to the ounce with several additional, never-before-released versions, including a crunchy and appropriately trippy DJ KOZE REMIX. Fans of Voigt’s concept rave monicker WASSERMANN shouldn’t miss out on this.

Die überraschende Rückkehr von WOLFGANG VOIGT zur PROTEKT-Serie mit DIE SCHALLPLATTE sorgte für einen mittelschweren Sturm im Wasserglas, als das limitierte Vinyl-Release zeitgleich zum Record Store Day 2016 erschien, Jagdgrund für alle Arten von Sammlern. Ganz klar, dass die Platte inzwischen restlos vergriffen ist – was uns dazu veranlasst hat, eine erweiterte Digital- Version dieser faszinierenden kleinen Techno-Ode an das schwarze Gold zusammenzustellen. Mit dem originalen VIDEO REMIX an der Seite des WASSERMANN REMIX und des VINYL COUNTDOWN REMIX ist das ursprüngliche Release in grossen Teilen vertreten, erfährt aber einiges an Aufwertung mit mehren zusätzlichen, noch nicht zuvor veröffentlichten Versionen, darunter ein knuspriger und angemessen verspulter DJ KOZE REMIX. Fans von Voigts Konzeptrave-Projekt WASSERMANN sollten dies auf keinen Fall verpassen.
