In the wake of renewed activity on the
WASSERMANN front, Wolfgang Voigt’s legendary
fringe rave alter ego, we’re thrilled to introduce a
new generation of listeners to his game-changing
cut W.I.R. – the vocoder-fuelled banger was a
massive crossover hit in 2000, bringing the
idiosyncratic underground sounds emanating
from a young scene of Cologne producers and
DJs who rallied under the Kompakt banner to a
wider audience. It sounded like nothing else on
the dance floors at the time and paved Kompakt’s
way into the spotlight. First released on Voigt’s
experimental techno label Profan, the track hasn’t
lost a quota of its futuristic and fresh appeal to
this day – it’s every bit as timeless as the remixes
from German DJ icon SVEN VÄTH and Kompakt
power duo TOBIAS THOMAS & MICHAEL MAYER
which dropped shortly after the release of the
original. Find all of these plus a new FARBEN
REMIX of FACKELN IM STURM by Wolfgang Voigt
in one barnstorming package, remastered to
perfection and available as digital download for
the first time ever. Furthermore, an updated 2016
rework of W.I.R. will be released together with the
DJ KOZE remix of Wassermann's DIE
SCHALLPLATTE on a bonus 10" accompanying
the upcoming limited edition of TOTAL 16 - not to
be missed!

Im Zuge erneuter Aktivität an der WASSERMANNFront,
Wolfgang Voigts legendäres Alternativ-
Rave-Projekt, ist es an der Zeit, eine neue
Generation an Hörern mit seinem
bahnbrechenden Track W.I.R. vertraut zu machen
- der Vocoder-geschwängerte Schieber geriet
2000 zu einem massiven Crossover-Hit und
gewann neues Publikum für die
idiosynkratischen Underground-Klänge einer
jungen Kölner Szene an Produzenten und DJs,
die sich unter dem Kompakt-Banner
versammelten. Es klang wie nichts anderes auf
den damaligen Tanzfluren und bereitete
Kompakts Weg ins Rampenlicht vor.
Ursprünglich auf Voigts experimentellem
Technolabel Profan veröffentlicht, hat der Track
kein bisschen an Frische und futuristischer
Anziehungskraft verloren - er ist genauso zeitlos
wie die Remixe der deutschen DJ-Ikone SVEN
VÄTH und des Kompakt'schen Power-Duos
TOBIAS THOMAS & MICHAEL MEYER, welche
seinerzeit kurz nach dem Original veröffentlicht
wurden. Diese drei Zeitzeugen plus Wolfgang
Voigts brandneuem FARBEN REMIX des
Klassikers FACKELN IM STURM finden sich im
W.I.R. REMIXE Paket, neu gemastert und zum
allerersten Mal als digitaler Download verfügbar.
Desweiteren wird eine neue 2016er Fassung von
W.I.R. zusammen mit dem DJ KOZE Remix von
Wassermanns DIE SCHALLPLATTE auf einer
Bonus-10" zu finden sein, welche als Teil der
anstehenden limitierten Edition der TOTAL 16
Compilation erhältlich ist - auf keinen Fall
verpassen!

Pre-order: https://airtexture.bandcamp.com/album/hardwired-curated-by-jakojako

Berlin-based @JakoJako releases collaboration with @https://soundcloud.com/ame on @AirTexture's latest compilation 'Hardwired', curated by JakoJako herself, available July 11.

"Hardwired" draws its conceptual foundation from synthesizer terminology. As JakoJako explains: "A hardwired synth has connections already soldered into the machine—it comes with certain functions without needing to patch cables externally. As a hardware producer, I feel whenever I meet someone who creates music as I do, we have this immediate connection, like a hardwired synthesizer. There's no need for small talk—we can speak about gear."

Renowned for her genre-blending approach and sharp production skills, Brazilian-Austrian artist Joyce Muniz returns to Kompakt with her powerful new single, “Hack The System.” This track marks a bold artistic statement that goes beyond the dancefloor, merging infectious electronic rhythms with a deeper socio-political message.

Featuring vocals by Futuradora, “Hack The System” is a call to awareness—an urgent and rhythmic critique of structural inequalities and digital surveillance culture. With pulsing basslines and hypnotic synth work, Muniz crafts a track that is as politically charged as it is club-ready.

This is Muniz’s second release on Kompakt, following the critically acclaimed “Beats & Lines” with Sara Bluma. Where that track explored personal connection, “Hack The System” speaks to a collective resistance and the need for systemic change, aligning with Muniz’s roots in underground culture and activism.

“Hack The System” will be available via Kompakt’s digital platforms and streaming services.

When the demo of ‘Scorpio Rising’ landed in our office, we knew immediately: this has to be released in the summer! A hook is a hook is a hook. And what Lannakise sang into the mic for LOPEZHOUSE is definitely a big hook with barbs that sticks in your head. A pristine pop house masterpiece from the La Mancha native. The remix by Scottish techno legend Funk D’Void brings a deeper perspective to the mix which recalls Kompakt’s golden era sound of the 00’s and unfolds its full beauty in the early hours of the morning.
