--KOMPAKT-----TOTAL 16-----KOMPAKT-----TOTAL 16-----KOMPAKT-----TOTAL 16-----KOMPAKT-----TOTAL 16--



Our TOTAL compilation series hardly needs an introduction: we rummage through the Kompakt releases to select our favorites from the past year that reflect our best and unsaid tracks, compiled and packaged as a cohesive whole. For TOTAL 16, the 2xCD and digital track listing features 25 prominent cuts from artists such as THE FIELD, WEVAL, REX THE DOG, TERRANOVA, HUNTER/GAME, FRANKEY & SANDRINO, JOHN TEJADA, BLOND:ISH or PATRICE BÄUMEL. On top, TOTAL 16 includes eight exclusive tracks which happen to make up the 2xLP vinyl track listing. What you have is a dynamic assortment and comprehensive profile of Kompakt’s current label portfolio, including both newcomers and veteran producers in peak form.

Keeping up a good old TOTAL tradition, we also planted brandnew material from core artists and friends – check out exclusive tracks such as MICHAEL MAYER’s aptly named ACTION, an absolutely rinsing acid cracker, or MATIAS AGUAYO’s stellar KOMM, sitting comfortably among his best and most stirring work to date. Meanwhile, JÜRGEN PAAPE drops silky, atmospheric synth pads on EDEN and THE MODERNIST teams up with Hot Chip’s JOE GODDARD for the pop-infused THE PRICE OF LOVE. Another highlight is the debut release from exciting newcomer LAKE TURNER: BEACON FIELDS is a misty- eyed, melancholic piece focussing on exquisite electronic textures and sweeping melodies.

As with previous TOTAL installments, we collect these exclusives on a separate 2xLP edition, but like to add a handful of cuts that can only be found on the vinyl version – for TOTAL 16, these include ALEX UNDER’s LLAMAN A LA PUERTA, a densely layered, slow-paced synth jam that makes for a inspired detour from the propulsive, lean beats the Spanish producer has become known for. SWEET 100 present a masterfully crafted study in hypnotic minimalism on SIX, while VOIGT & VOIGT hark back to the pounding, sensual abrasiveness of early Auftrieb releases on DENKEN SIE LAUT, crossbred with the tongue-in-cheek gloom of the brothers’ later, more psychedelic offerings.

Rey & Kjavik is the brainchild of Magnús Rey and Ísak Kjavik.

But the guys are more than an insider's tipp after releases on top notch labels like Compost Black Label, KaterMukke, Exploited, Get Physical and their own BY awake imprint. Their latest remixes for Claire's super smash "Games" (on Island Rec.) and Tiger Stripes (on Get Physical) underscore their high reputation in the scene.

The ups and downs, the highs and lows, the peaks and troughs. Thrills existed everywhere, all around them. There was always more excitement to seek, more chaos to create, more drums to bang and more people to dance. The world kept on spinning, as did each track and they moved forwards together as one. 
We are very excited to be able to showcase the forthcoming JMII release from Spanish stalwarts Hivern Discs. His appearance follows on from releases on labels such as 100% Silk, Subwax and NVH. Listen to 'Thrills' from the forthcoming EP below which is due for release late this month.

YYR168 : Aka Carl - Cellular Rejuvenation (Original Mix)

After exceptional releases on much-respected imprints like Dixon’s Innervisions, Drumpoet Community and Mood Music, Berlin-based artist duo FRANKEY & SANDRINO brings their sophisticated, deep house sound to Kompakt with the HYDRAE EP – three new and highly versatile tracks that prove once more the perfect symbiosis of Frank Beckers’ technical know-how and Sandrino Tittel’s selector expertise from his days as resident DJ at Wuppertal’s famed Butan Club. Both the title cut HYDRAE and b-side buster IZAR feature the expressive, silky synth solos we’ve come to love from the two soundsmiths, embedded in the focussed throbbing of their precision beats. Closer MERGING BLACK sports slightly more jagged contours, thanks to some psychoactive synth sequencing and a howling trumpet –  enriched with Frankey & Sandrino’s stunning sense for dramaturgic refinement. Voluptuous and minimalist at the same time, these tracks spin a captivating floor lore that will enchant any serious fan of electronic dance music.

Nach bemerkenswerten Releases auf hochgelobten Labels wie etwa Dixons Innervisions, Drumpoet Community und Mood Music bringt das Berliner Künstlerduo FRANKEY & SANDRINO ihren ausgeklügelten, tiefen House-Sound mit der HYDRAE EP zu Kompakt - drei neue und vielseitige Tracks belegen einmal mehr die perfekte Symbiose von Frank Beckers' technischem Know-How und Sandrino Tittels Club-Expertise aus seinen Tagen als Resident-DJ im legendären Wuppertaler Butan Club. Sowohl der Titeltrack HYDRAE als auch der B-Seiten-Knaller IZAR glänzen mit den expressiven, seidigen Synthie-Solos die wir bei den beiden Klangtüftlern schätzen gelernt haben, formvollendet eingebettet im fokussierten Treiben ihrer Präzisions-Beats. Der Abschlusstrack MERGING BLACK weist etwas schartigere Züge auf, dank psychoaktiver Synthie-Sequenzen und einer aufheulenden Trompete - angereichert mit Frankey & Sandrinos verblüffendem Sinn für dramaturgische Finesse. Üppig und minimalistisch zugleich, erzählen diese Aufnahmen von einer fesselnden Tanzflursaga die jeden ernstzunehmenden Fan elektronischer Tanzmusik begeistern wird.

Moullinex - Take My Pain Away (Gigamesh Remix)

Ammunition Pt 2 - Out now

http://www.beatport.com/#release/ammunition-pt-2-ep/986701

Motion Study Ft Oliver

Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream,
and you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes.

You would have every kind of pleasure, you see,
and after several nights you would say, "well that was pretty great."
But now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn’t under control.
Well something is going to happen to me that i don’t know what it’s gonna be.
Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now.

If you awaken from this illusion,
and you understand that black implies white,
self implies other,
life implies death.
You can feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world,
not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.

What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.

- Alan Watts

Unai i like your style

Im Jahre 2013 wird das Basler Flaggschiff Schallbox Records, in seiner 13 Veröffentlichung , neue Welten erkunden. Die Berliner "Antientertainers" Jens und Dennis steuern das Schallbox-Schiff als "Drunken Sailor" durch die Brandung der elektronischen Musik und zeigen ihre schöne und bunte Welt der Öffentlichkeit.

Mit dem Original "Drunken Sailor" erzählen die Antientertainers eine ganz eigene Geschichte Ihrer Schifffahrt durch die Weltmeere. Eine schöne Electro-Pop-Ballade, die schon von weitem von allen Seefahrern in den heimischen Spelunken zu hören ist.

Steve Cole mit seinen Remix, nimmt euch auf die wohl eher stürmische See mit und reduziert das Original auf seine wesentlichen Bestandteile. Vereinzelte Soundschnipsel schallen durch den Raum und werden von einem gradlinigen Beat bis zum sicheren Anlegen im Hafen getragen.

Eine funky Wurlizerline begleitet den Remix von Benno Blome. Der Sender-Mastermind liefert eine verspielte und groovende Version des betrunkenen Seglers und zeigt einmal mehr, dass er ein Meister seines Faches ist.

An Land angekommen und mit festen Boden unter den Füssen wartet dann auch gleich das nächste Abenteuer auf euch. Mit "Roleplay"fordern euch die Jungs mit minimalistischen Klängen auf, das Neuland zu erkunden.

Die digitalen Bonusremixes kommen vom Basler Cristian Tamborrini und vom Berliner Jan Slessig.
