You may ask: "In the day and age of streaming playlists and the omnipresence of freely available mixes, what's the use of a label compilation?" The answer is simple: labels still serve as a dearly needed filter mechanism in this tsunami of music we're facing every day. Labels strive to establish trust between artists and listeners. They're like your favorite restaurant around the corner. On the spur of the moment, you might find more excitement in that hip place that just opened somewhere else. But when the novelty fades, you'll always return to your sanctuary. The safe place where they know your name and the last drink is on the house. KOMPAKT has become such a place for generations of fans and artists alike. And the TOTAL compilation series serves as its menu: always changing but instantly recognizable.

As per usual TOTAL is a collection of the past years biggest tunes, the creme de la creme of KOMPAKT's steady output of 12"s topped off with eight exclusive unreleased tracks that are also available on the 2LP vinyl edition of TOTAL 19.

With JÜRGEN PAAPE, the notorious VOIGT brothers, THOMAS/MAYER and JÖRG BURGER - all founding fathers are on board. Legacy artists SASCHA FUNKE and JUSTUS KÖHNCKE make their long-awaited comebacks, the latter with a kinky Patrick Cowley homage called "Mindless Sex Track". Cologne young blood JULIAN STETTER nails the starry-eyed, romantic KOMPAKT signature sound with his remix for an up and coming local pop outfit called ALBERT LUXUS. Fellow Colonian JONATHAN KASPAR makes his label debut with his slinky track "Renard". DJ BALDUIN definitely is one to watch in 2020. His massive "E.W.B.A." transcends the friendly populism of an ancient Love Parade anthem while capturing the sincere spirit of today's electro revival. REX THE DOG's "Vortex" and TOM DEMAC's "Serenade" perfectly showcase why KOMPAKT is still one of the most played and charted labels in electronic music today. In a scene that is more fragmented than ever these two producers delivered true consensus hits that are cherished on all sizes and shapes of floors beyond genre boundaries.

The second half completely belongs to a whole new breed from our beloved SPEICHER series such as ANNA, YOTAM AVNI, EXTRAWELT, RAXON, BLACKRACHAS, JOHN MONKMAN and LA FLEUR alongside our full time members PATRICE BÄUMEL, KÖLSCH and GUI BORATTO. The energy levels are way up and the mission reads clearly: We'll never stop dancing this way.

Driven by a passion for music with depth and feeling, and underpinned by an unswerving attention to detail, this UK based artist is still performing at the top of his game.

Growing up in the musical melting pot of the 80’s and 90’s, where technological advances in sound generation created a new sonic canvas, the desire to innovate has always been strong. Influences ranging from Kraftwerk to Zappa, from Bach to Beck contribute to a unique sound that frequently defies genres.

"...music...soul food...it feels so fucking good when it's good…."
Born in the UK and now settled in South America, James Monro's immersion within the music industry goes back some 30 years. Having been classically trained at school, James'  musical influences diverged into a long and keen love affair with all things electronic. From his initiation into the otherworldly sounds of Yello, Jean Michelle Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Visage, Human League, Brian Eno, Georgio Moroder and the more left field electronic experimental bands of the early 80's, and combined with a deep love of the psychedelic bands of the 70's, disco and early hip hop, it was inevitable that he fall into a passionate relationship with electronic dance music.  He entered into club land, journeyed through the early daze of Acid House, the uk's "summers of love" in '88 and '89 , onto the beaches of Goa in the early '90's and out into the global circuit of parties and festivals that have since become his playground. All the while collecting the music as he went, finding and creating his sound, and starting up the now legendary Flying Rhino Records with 2 friends in 1995. 

With the dawn of the new millennium, the demise of Flying Rhino Records, and the development of his new label 4DigitalAudio (with his label partner Grant Collins) he took time out to settle into his own rhythm again. He started to produce both alone, as James Monro and as 4D with Grant, and 2012 saw his Midnight Ramblers pseudonym (with George Barker, one his partners from Flying Rhino) gain traction with an appearance on John Digweed's Bedrock release “Structures Two"  with the genre expanding techno gem, "Scarab", which was charted number one by Nick Warren and heavily supported by the likes of Hernan Cattaneo and Robert Babicz. He once again came to the attention of Nick Warren with a contribution to his "Renaissance: Masters Series" in the shape of the beautiful "Ambientworkx7", and recently also featured on Nicks Soundgarden compilation. He recently released on one of the best techno labels in the world Kompakt with a collaboration with John Monkman called Pesto Punk. He has graced other lables such as Proton Music, Bedrock, Renaissance, OneDotSixTwo, j00f, Stereo Seven Plus, iboga, Flow Vinyl, Blue Tunes, NamNam, Candyflip, 24hours Records, CityLights Music, Section Records, Twisted Records, Shifty Disco, Liquid Records and of course his own techno imprint 4DigitalAudio.  Add to that music production for television and theatre plus co-founding the Tropical Beats imprint and DJ agency in Brasil,  James has been a busy and productive player within the industry. He also recently released his first solo album “In The Ether” on Proton Music to massive critical acclaim. Charting number 1 in the psy trance beatport charts for 2 weeks, and holding places in the top 5 of both the techno and progressive house charts. His music has proven to cross genres and defy categorisation. 

With his countless influences, musical prowess and production skills, as a DJ, James weaves a heady journey through all styles of dance music. So much so that it's impossible to truly define his sound. Suffice to say it's deep, its hypnotic, it's emotional and above all fat and funky. James is always pushing the boundaries of what constitutes house or techno, and his passion for his craft has never faltered - his global schedule is testament to that. He's been touring the globe for nearly 30 years now, and still can't get enough! He has played along side many of the leading lights of dance music - Carl Cox, Nick Warren, Sasha, Hernan Cataneo, Sven Vath, John Digweed, GuyJ and Dave Seaman, to name just a few. He has also played in some of the most famous clubs on the planet, including Amnesia in Ibiza, Heaven in London, The Edge in Sao Paulo, and Lux in lisbon plus being a regular at many of the best festivals and open-air parties in the UK, europe and the rest of the world - all the while garnering ideas and inspiration that have made him both a finely tuned producer and phenomenally passionate DJ who has cemented his name as a popular and seasoned favourite within the underground music scene.
