Our Kompakt Advent Drop podcast series returns for the 2014 christmas season with a superb mix from @Flexonaut, not only a dear friend and highly competent disk jockey, but also a key associate to our office. He's delivering an emotive, yet bouncy selection of blissful favorites, including material from Gui Boratto, GusGus and Efdemin. Enjoy your first Advent and stay tuned for our upcoming advent drops - quite a few surprises pawing at the starting line!

Our Kompakt Advent Drop podcast series continues its 2014 christmas season with a stellar entry from none other than admired Pop Ambient scholar Leandro Fresco. His scintillating selection draws as much from the dreamy leisure of the genre as it does from the artist’s own subconscious mind - with a wealth of interlocked pads and drones floating on the sound surface like the tip of a particularly massive iceberg. Leandro is also busy minting a brandnew full-length for Kompakt’s upcoming Pop Ambient artist album series - stay tuned for more intel and enjoy your second Advent!

Kompakt Advent Drop - Leandro Fresco

Our Kompakt Advent Drop podcast series continues its 2014 christmas season with a throbbing third entry from deep bass digger Matt Karmil. This past summer, the UK expat had his debut full-length released to great acclaim (via distribution imprint PNN), followed by a stupidly energizing solo outing on Tim Sweeney's iconic Beats In Space imprint. Immediately taking up where he left off the last bass drum, Matt puts down a panache-heavy set with lots of precisely engineered zoning-out going on behind the red curtains. Have a great third Advent and tune back in next Sunday when we'll reveal the big finale of our podcast series!

We wrap up our Christmas run 2014 with a delectably nostalgia-tinged mixtape from long-standing Kompakt ally Tobias Thomas, Cologne's foremost selector when it comes to danceable drama and indie-flavored electronics. The brain and muscle behind the formative Total Confusion event series, he was one of the very first protagonists in modern club culture to embrace the divergent sonics from a then-nascent breed of new German acts like The Notwist, Tocotronic, Blumfeld, Fischmob and many others - thus building bridges between fomerly isolated scene habitats and de facto pioneering the notion of leftfield techno before it even existed. His selection is a more than fitting conclusion to our Advent podcast series, incorporating rare early outings from Kompakt staples like Jürgen Paape (under his long-lost Care monicker) or Wolfgang Voigt (as Mike Ink) alongside the idiosyncratic soundscapes of fringe pop mentor Arthur Russell or the nu-vintage dub textures of Rhythm & Sound. Forever sweet!
