KOMPAKT.FM Advent Drop 2013

On every Advent Sunday 'til Christmas, Kompakt.fm will drop an exclusive mixtape from one of our artist affiliates - the first entry comes from Cologne DJ duo Marc Lansley and Shumi aka Truffle Shuffle who take things in a decidedly snappy direction: their selection draws from fringe pop, post-bass and low-fi house soundscapes while keeping the bounce up front where it belongs. The two just launched their own Kompakt-distributed imprint Low Hanging Fruit which will see its first vinyl release with the "National Geographic EP" from modular mobsters Camp Inc. in January 2014.

KOMPAKT.FM Advent Drop: Truffle Shuffle

On every Advent Sunday 'til Christmas, Kompakt.fm will drop an exclusive mixtape from one of our artist affiliates - the second entry comes from Geoffroy Mugwump (of Mugwump fame, obviously). The Belgian DJ/Producer got behind his decks to record a rather enlightened mix, drawing from a wide-ranging selection of tracks that counterbalance glittery grooves and melodic gravitas. If you want to catch him boosting the crowd in real time, we'd suggest you pay a visit to London's Corsica Studios on December 21st, where he'll perform alongside DJ luminaries Andrew Weatherall, Sean Johnston and Ivan Smagghe. For New Year's Eve, Geoffroy will head back to his hometown Brussls to join Roman Flügel, Kiki, DC Salas and more at Leftorama's NYE bash at Bazaar.

KOMPAKT.FM Advent Drop: Geoffroy Mugwump

On every Advent Sunday 'til Christmas, Kompakt.fm drops an exclusive mixtape from one of our artist affiliates - the third entry comes from our very own Stocksaur DJ Team helmed by Denis Stockhausen and Jo Saurbier. With each one being an expert floor charmer in his own right, the combination of those two forces of nature always makes for a night to remember, as quite a few crowds in 2013 can testify. To advanced urbanites, Stocksaur's amalgam of vintage house and future pop has proven to act just like catnip to felines: once you're hooked, they won't let you go... and their empire is constantly expanding. Soon in a club near you!

KOMPAKT.FM Advent Drop: Stocksaur DJ Team

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.
