On every Advent Sunday, Kompakt.fm drops an exclusive mixtape from one of our artist affiliates - the fourth and final entry comes from none other than Gregor Schwellenbach, the Cologne-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and libertine who served as the creative force behind the aptly titled "Gregor Schwellenbach Spielt 20 Jahre Kompakt" full-length, one of Kompakt's more off-beat releases in 2013 (and probably the entire label history). For this mixtape - a first for the classically trained musician - Gregor brews up quite an extraordinary concoction that draws from backgrounds as diverse as classical music, avantgardist textures, electro-acoustic tape splicing and urban clubbing. Discover the unruly personal canon of a unique musical mind that counts both Wolfgang Voigt and Karlheinz Stockhausen among his favorites, filtered by the hazy eroticism of Arthur Russell or the cartoonish sonic violence of Pierre Henry.
