Berlin producer Emma Kollmorgen joins the Kompakt family with “You Are The”, her debut solo single and a paean to the uncertainty and unpredictability of love. Slowly enveloping, the song is an artfully built electro-pop hymn capturing “that feeling when you meet someone special and every sane fiber in your body spins out of control”, Kollmorgen says. Gracefully paced, “You Are The” shades in its lines with a push-pull tension that resolves, over its five minutes, to lushness.

There is not much known about Kollmorgen. Born and raised in Berlin, she spent her early years moving in and out of music – learning piano, teaching herself guitar, joining some bands, but it “never felt right”, she recalls. “(I) wanted to find my own sound and be more independent, write songs.” Attending a course to learn the basics of producing, some live performances followed, but generally Kollmorgen kept things low to the ground. A perfectionist by design, she’s also a risk-taker: “(I) love to create my own sounds – field recordings – trial and error – chopping, listening, looping…”

Kollmorgen was introduced to Kompakt by Patrice Baumel, who also supplies a beautiful remix of “You Are The”, taking the original’s late-nite melancholy out on the floor, with rolling waves of drone underpinning a steely, insistent rhythm. For Kollmorgen, though, this is just the start – there’s more to come as she patiently chips away at more songs: “I am still discovering new things while writing or singing and still want to dig deeper,” she reflects. And you can hear that depth in the emotional undercurrents that wash through “You Are The”, possessed as it is with a quiet, perceptive intensity. Perhaps Kollmorgen sums it up best herself: “Love is scary as fuck!”

TOTAL turns 21 this year, and Kompakt’s venerable compilation series couldn’t have asked for a more auspicious coming-of-age collection. If TOTAL 20 was consolidation against the odds, the Kompakt crew producing for a dreamt-of dancefloor in an uncertain future, then TOTAL 21 feels abuzz and alive with possibilities. Significantly, it’s the first TOTAL in some time that’s streamlined down to a single disc; this makes TOTAL 21 even punchier than usual, a joyous, reflective, and always thrilling 75-minute audio scan of the world according to Kompakt.

As with every instalment of TOTAL, there’s a deft balancing here of Kompakt regulars and new blood. Of the latter, there’s a first appearance by KOLLMORGEN, remixed by PATRICE BÄUMEL into an astral torch song; Amsterdam’s NICKY ELISABETH, offering up ROMAN FLÜGEL’s pulsating, arpeggiated remix of “Celeste”; and CAPTAIN MUSTACHE swoops down into view, PLAY PAUL in tow, with the dream-like electro lift-off that is “Everything”. JONATHAN KASPAR also drops by with a new track, “Von Draussen”, a stealthy and lethal floor-hugger with prowling bass.

Elsewhere, there’s the lead track to MICHAEL MAYER’s astonishing recent EP, “Brainwave Technology”, which not-so-gently spears the tech-futurist babble of AI, transhumanism and posthumanism, soundtracked by one of Mayer’s typically lush, glimmering soundscapes. JOHN TEJADA reaches back to the heyday of glitch and dub techno with the gorgeous “Spectral Progressions”, while the brothers VOIGT & VOIGT, on “Nicht Mein Job”, seem reinvigorated by the interwoven patterns and funky minimalism of the Profan days. Not to be outdone, JÜRGEN PAAPE kicks TOTAL 21 with “La Guittara Romantica”, a chiming and lilting lullaby for woozy late-night reflection.

Throughout, it feels as though Kompakt are taking a moment to both breathe in the dust of the past and look forward to a bright future. Perhaps that’s why, on “Fasson”, SASCHA FUNKE seems so confident, with pinprick melodies bouncing around a hall of audio mirrors, or why THE BIONAUT returns with “Blue Sky Motor Lodge”, a song so moistly melancholy, so enduringly lovely, it’ll make you weep tears of joy. ROBAG WRUHME gets a little delirious on the ticking, twisting “No”, and then GUI BORATTO mops everything up with the bubbling, bumping glam-stomp “Wake Up”.

That’s not all – spring for the digital and/or vinyl edition and you’ll get a new cut, “Happy”, from MICHAEL MAYER, and MARC ROMBOY & C.A.R.’s “I Am A Dancer”. But however you choose to play it, now TOTAL’s turned 21, it’s your duty to throw it the celebration to end all celebrations. Let the party begin, and don’t forget to bring a party favor…
