On every Advent Sunday 'til Christmas, Kompakt.fm will drop an exclusive mixtape from one of our artist affiliates - the first entry comes from Cologne DJ duo Marc Lansley and Shumi aka Truffle Shuffle who take things in a decidedly snappy direction: their selection draws from fringe pop, post-bass and low-fi house soundscapes while keeping the bounce up front where it belongs. The two just launched their own Kompakt-distributed imprint Low Hanging Fruit which will see its first vinyl release with the "National Geographic EP" from modular mobsters Camp Inc. in January 2014.

Both tracks include Dolby Atmos mixes by Immersive Lab Berlin. A bold, honest statement of transformation https://bfan.link/martin-herrs-no-need

No Need feat Amor Amor

Bobby Nourmand closes out the year with a return to Spectrum, following February's blistering single 'BURN'. His new release, T-99, sees the LA producer open up his creative process to a pair of kindred spirits: Berlin duo Local Suicide.

What began as an off-the-cuff studio sketch - track number 99 - soon morphed into something far more formidable. 'T-99' channels a stark, near-future atmosphere, driven by Local Suicide's Dina Summer and her icy cold-wave, post-punk vocal presence. Nourmand's shadowy techno pulse underpins the track, giving shape to a world teetering on the edge of an AI-ruled spiral.

To counterbalance the trio's brooding vision, they turned to their own 'John Connor': Mexican producer and Duro label head Theus Mago. His rework preserves the original's cinematic tension and post-punk bite, but injects a jolt of unexpected momentum, an insistent, and undeniable body-locking groove.

'T-99' lands as a sharp and imaginative collaboration, and a striking final chapter to Nourmand's year on Spectrum.

TOTAL 25… Another anniversary in a year that is already rich in anniversaries. For the 25th time, the Kompakt family is gathering for its annual rendezvous. Prick up your ears, here we go!

The latest boy band in town, POP VAMPIRES COLOGNE, opens the party with the enigmatic ‘Karianne’. SUPERPITCHER knows how to make a grand appearance, accompanied by high-calibre guests. His electro-pop treat ‘Pandora’s Box’ features Hot Chip’s ALEXIS TAYLOR​ on vocals.​ JÜRGEN PAAPE isn’t coming alone either, but with newcomer HELLA in tow. ‘Grace (A Tale)‘ once again shows our resident hit maker at his best. JÖRG BURGER also has a table companion, the extremely talented Irene Kalisvaart, and remixes himself on top of that. REINHARD VOIGT points out that money never sleeps and proceeds according to the motto: ’​Zahl an einem anderen Tag (Pay another day​)’. Our Brazilian whirlwind GUI BORATTO returns after a long absence with the banger ‘Panorama X-Press’. After careful consideration, ROBAG WRUHME has named his new track ‘Starsow Total’ and sings in the chorus with his family for the first time. WASSERMANN contributes an ultra-fat remix of Mayer’s ‘Brainwave Technology’, while MICHAEL MAYER himself marvels at the rare ‘Erdbeermond’. HARDT ANTOINE’s ‘Let Me Go’ really gets the party going again before WASSERMANN orders a large taxi and skips out on the bill.

See you again next year!
