'Opening up 2022 on Sous is an exciting new artist from Berlin, Basic Instinct, with his ‘Into The Night’ debut EP.  Part of the Vertere Berlin crew, DJ and producer Uli Hasselmann aka Basic Instinct is something of an enigma. Hugely popular from his exciting explorations of the deeper side of techno and dark disco vibes, very little is known about him aside from his fashion brand with the club and street in mind. Collaborating with Jennifer Cardini, Andhim and most recently Hugo Boss, he is now working closely with Anja on a Schneider merchandise collection.

 Title track ‘Into The Night’ is an elegant and thoughtful meander into the mind of a deeply engaging artist, bass and beats cleverly mound into a hypnotic gelatinous haze. Warm analogue sweeps and tribal drum work keep feet firmly on the floor while vocal ad libs drift in and out and percussive layers intensify the trip. 

‘Energy’ does what it says on the tin. A rich stab-led groove leads the way as a spoken word sample declares “Energy has brought us here!” Finally, ‘Morning Groove’ lightens the mood considerably without losing any of his trademark hypnotics. Loopy and transcendental, this is the perfect showcase for an artist on the ascent, ready to take the jump to the world stage. '

Spanish producer Larsson delivers a deep and hypnotic 4-tracker for Fuxbau Records, marking his vinyl debut on the label. Written in the rural village where Larsson grew up, the EP carries a sense of groundedness and clarity. Created in his parents' home, surrounded by nature and far from urban distraction, the tracks reflect a setting where ideas unfold organically. The result is a tightly cut selection of groovy, rolling techno - stripped back, hypnotic, and full of tension. That contrast between calm surroundings and high-impact club energy runs through all four tracks: stripped-back yet detailed, functional yet full of soul.

@dannydaze returns to KOMPAKT EXTRA / SPEICHER with one of the most intense and gratifying tracks we have had the pleasure to hear this year. The Miami native's relentless passion for underground '90s electro and techno resounds in "Aire". A collaboration with up and comer SHOKH - a name you may recognise from DANNY DAZE's imprint OMNIDISC. For those that like their techno dark and dirty. 

The rise of @patrice-baumel since last's years now ironically titled "Surge" (KOMEX89) has been steady for good reason - positivity, passion and a lot of hard work. With his days as a resident of TROUW well behind him and now a key member of the KOMPAKT family, he has had what one would call a breakthrough year. There's that remix of CUBICOLOR that was nearly impossible to avoid. Then there's been a steady stream of remixes for SASHA & POLIÇA, MAX COOPER, DAMIAN LAZARUS and DEPECHE MODE. Oh yeah, he's also become a part of the AFTERLIFE crew and put out an EP called "Glutes". Welcome to "Sorcery" - a catch and release techno roller that ripens with a fundamental percussion lead.

‘Days Gone’ is the highly-anticipated return of core Afterlife act and fans favourite, Mind Against. A year after their ‘Solaris’ EP (AL002), the duo of Alex and Federico Fognini show once again why their moving, supremely-produced tracks are held in such esteem.

The title track takes you to another dimension, with a synth line spiralling into cosmic space and drums beating into oblivion. ‘Cloud Nine’, a classy, comparatively-understated cut for the early hours brings the energy back down. Stepping up to remix ‘Cloud Nine’ is Dystopian talent Alex.Do, who strips the sound back and distills the original’s graceful flourishes, completing a high-quality chapter in the Afterlife story.

We open the SPEICHER gates to Swedish export La Fleur. She’s been on a roll with consistent releases for Truesoul, her own Power Plant imprint plus last year’s collaboration with Sasha and an Essential Mix. La Fleur fulfills the difficult matrimony of bridging minimal-house percussion with deep emotive groove on “Tears”. In her own words “"I wanted to create a feeling of melancholy, the dreamer wanted this dream to be true and then on waking up realized that it was all just a dream. Hence the vocal, washing my dreams away with tears."

John Monkman and James Monro are an unlikely pairing in the best of ways. John's riding high on recent releases for Last Night On Earth and Ellum then James comes to us from releasing on Flying Rhino and Proton. The result is “Pesto Punk” - a raging conglomeration of delinquent-techno madness that is precisely what we love to release on SPEICHER. Snares slap to a heavy double bass drum in a maelstrom of depth charged synths and random sounds.
