Ben Klock - October

Here a new version of "Muzik" I did with Blake. Pretty dirty disco-ish, out already on limited 10 inch and coming out soon on Beatport! Now for all my dear, SC follower;)

Muzik (Blake Baxter Remix)

Starting out in 2001 to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, SPEICHER has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, allowing KOMPAKT to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. For SPEICHER 85, Amsterdam-bred floor charmer and producing mastermind PATRICE BÄUMEL presents two highly effective techno bangers that will become the weapon of choice for any discerning DJ looking for momentum.

Color-coded in juicy red, SPEICHER 85 features smoldering new material from none other than PATRICE BÄUMEL, one of the most revered resident DJs and techno innovators from Amsterdam's iconic, but sadly defunct Trouw club. Starting out in the mid- noughties, he has earned his production stripes on labels as diverse as Trapez, Get Physical or Systematic, with his latest highlights being last year's stellar remix for GusGus' OBNOXIOUSLY SEXUAL (KOMPAKT DIGITAL 044) and the label solo debut on SPEICHER 81 (KOMPAKT EXTRA 81), a raw and energetic offering that turned out to be a mind-bender carving out its very own definition of a hookline.

A relentless sonic adventurer in both studio and club trenches, Patrice knows his peak time by heart, having developed quite the understanding of the fluctuations of the crowd before him. You can hear that straightaway with a-side cut LOWRIDER, a clattering minimalist groover with maximum impact, vetting helplessly stuck floors with a surge of adrenalin-fuelled percussion and the occasional synth roar. The b-side's THE VANISHING presents itself as an equally hypnotic affair, albeit with a different angle - this time, we find a true melodic meltdown monster whose epic vocal break will leave no roof or hand unraised. With records like these, we've got no worries about the sheer, animalistic power of techno.

B The Vanishing

Long-time Techno protagonist and Figure mainstay Johannes Heil returns with a new 4-track package under his Cryptik pseudonym. Continuing the focus on a more leftfield, experimental sound, Cryptik emerses the listener into a soundtrack world of rich sound, depth of field and versatile, changeable moods. By no means a simple club record, all four tracks offer subtle and rich musical content, each telling a story with beautiful melancholic melodies and rushes of endorphins.

From elongated 10 minute journeys into the more reflective zones of Heil's techno world, snaking and building, showing off all the skills he collected over his 20 years-plus career at the top of his artform, Crypik is a dance on the senses. From the cinematic elegance of 'The Gate', or the bleep-laden epic of 'Radiance', to the post-house Piano led drama of 'Messenger' or the heavyweight synth swarms of 'Belief', the EP is full of passion and life, capturing truly magic moments.

The one to kick off our new imprint will be the Bulgarian hardware wizard KiNK. Best known for his live performances, teemed with explosive energy, which for a consecutive year puts him to the number one spot of live acts on RA Poll, he is also one of house’s most in demand producers. KiNK has worked with DGTL for quite some time, including last year’s audiovisual installation ‘Transmission Tower’, where the first track ‘Neutrino’ was born. 

The melodic 'Neutrino', kicks off with syncopating bassline. Its interconnecting layers organically jump over and under each other, reflecting the organic character of KiNK’s live performances, where every knob touch and turn matters. On the latter, he built the B-sider 'Dynamo': "I loaded my favourite element from Neutrino in my computer and I tweaked the sound through various weird devices in my studio, till it sounded like a completely new track." As usual, he added a few endless loops on the record, "for the adventurous DJs", exclusively for the 12''.

@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.

Born in Egypt, bred in Dubai and now situated in the electronic music hub of Barcelona, RAXON makes his SPEICHER debut with this double header that falls into line just past his breakthrough “Destiny EP” on DIYNAMIC. 

THE ANCIENT could be taken as a twisted modern version of YAZOO’s “Superstition” - subtle and bold this track bridges on the sexier side of electro-strasse with a gleaming dagger of nu-wave sophistication. His roots as one of the Middle East’s biggest DJs shines through the “Dark Light”. Mysterious minimal rhythms propelled with a sinister synth hook drives this track to a nowhere that makes you feel that you are somewhere that is right.
