Two decades. Twenty years. Twenty compilations. Over 400 tracks. Over two days of total playing time and countless coloured dots. If someone would have told us in 1999, when we put together TOTAL 1 that this would turn into one of the longest standing compilation series in techno world we would have laughed out loud. But here we are – in the year 2020 which will probably go down in history as the most difficult period ever for club culture. But we won’t stop doing what we’re doing. Music is our oxygen. We’ll dance together soon again.

The TOTAL series has always been like KOMPAKT’s yearbook and to say it with the late Frank Sinatra: It was a very good year. Our family of artists delivered a strong heterogeneous mix of uplifting sounds, from the lush reveries of ROBAG WRUHME and SOELA to the stark primetime bangers of MARC ROMBOY or ANNA & KITTIN and everything in between. Notable new entries to our crew are the Londoner KIWI with his wonderfully careless “Hello Echo” that picks up the camp disco vibes Justus Köhncke made a staple in our repertoire. Amsterdam’s DAVID DOUGLAS delivers an appetizer for a full course meal. His quirky pop approach sits comfortably between fellow dutchmen WEVAL’s abstract beats and AGENTS OF TIME’s opulent Italo Disco. YOTAM AVNI blends Detroit techno with new age jazz that reminisces the sound of ECM artists like Jan Garbarek or John Surman. The man with the hat, KÖLSCH also picks up jazzier notes in his very own big room style. Youngblood JONATHAN KASPAR appears twice, fortifying his status as one of the hottest beat smiths of our hometown Cologne. TOTAL wouldn’t be TOTAL without our permanent staff present in full force. As per tradition, KOMPAKT’s founding fathers, VOIGT & VOIGT, JÜRGEN PAAPE, JÖRG BURGER, MICHAEL MAYER as well as our Berlin outpost SASCHA FUNKE all deliver exclusive gems that also feature on Total 20’s double vinyl edition.

May TOTAL 20 become your trustworthy companion in these uncertain times.

MKULT is presence, a state of mind achieved through sound— a transmission of higher consciousness through frequency and form. MKULT is Shelly Truman, a West Coast–based producer and performer from Port Townsend, Washington and Tonopah, Nevada. An architect of atmosphere and emotion, Truman merges analog and digital worlds through trance-induced production, shaping sound as a state of being.
Her compositions move through techno, electro, drum and bass, ambient, dark wave, synth-pop, and cinematic downtempo, blending glitch, artifact, atmosphere.

Listen. Be here. Be fearless. 

Stillness inside movement, chaos inside order.

A multi-instrumentalist and self-producing artist under her independent label TTwinz, Truman performs, mixes, and masters her own work. 

Her sound exits the stratosphere and is a starlink that remindat the intersection of science and spirit — immersive, psychological, and deeply human.
MKULT is more than an identity; it is a state of awareness — a visionary movement driven by altruism and the belief that sound can awaken collective presence. Truman channels intensity into clarity, inviting listeners into a shared experience where music becomes the pulse of consciousness itself.
You enter MKULT by being fully here.
