Resonances From The D

Resonances From The D (Bonus Track)

One day Santos sent a live session demo that immediately caught Robag Wruhme’s attention. The rawness of the beat construction and the strong influence of jazz were just more than right. Now the song is called “Lounge Sabotage” and brings two super sweet friends with it. They are called “In The Evening" and “Age of Gold”.
We are more than pleased that this 3 track EP will be released on Tulpa Ovi Records.

Robag Wruhme has been playing songs by Santos from Frosinone in Italy in his DJ sets for a long time. It is always these kinds of weapons that bring the dance floor under control. Santos himself produced music since 1994 and runs the label “Let Me Understand Records”, and has been releasing exclusively his own great music on it since 2018. One day Santos sent a live session demo that immediately caught Robag Wruhme’s attention. The rawness of the beat construction and the strong influence of jazz were just more than right. Now the song is called “Lounge Sabotage” and brings two super sweet friends with it. They are called “In The Evening" and “Age of Gold”.

Over the course of a decade, Wata Igarashi has risen as one of techno's most accomplished DJs and producers. His highly aesthetic trademark sound is as heavily psychedelic as it's driven by its stern kinetic energy. It's often overlooked that Igarashi is much more than a torch bearer of the raw hypnotic techno he became known for. He's also a very accomplished and versatile musician with a deep understanding of the cause and effect of sound design. His skills are fully on display on 2023's full length "Agartha", a film score to a fictitious movie about the mythical underworld of planet Mars. It was a rather obvious idea to cross the bridge between this epic deep listening album and Wata Igarashi's techno persona by having him remix himself. As you might expect, the "Agartha Sorcery Acid Mix" has turned out to be a masterclass in psychedelic designer techno. It's slightly slower in BPM as the usual Igarashi fare but every bit as captivating. The "Floating Against Time Shimmering Mix" shows another intriguing facet of Wata's spectrum. Let's call it: Psychedelic Deep House. KOMPAKT's very own Michael Mayer couldn't resist to turn the Godzilla soundtrack-ish "Ceremony Of The Dead" into a positively hysterical minimal disco operette. And then there's the "Fusion Mix of Abyss II x Darkness" by Philipp Stoffel, a fresh Cologne DJ and producer from whose AKTE club nights a label with the same name is about to emerge. He's definitely one to keep an eye on in 2025.

Zurich-born, New York-based DJ Tony y Not is best known for her free-spirited sets, seamlessly weaving together techy acid, progressive, dark disco, and heart-opening indie. She brings that signature energy to her Kompakt debut with striking precision. Have You Lost Your Mind channels a touch of Swan Lake-era Todd Terry – one of NYC house’s legendary figures – delivering a razor-sharp acid line, a rock-solid groove, and one of the most flawlessly executed breakdown/drop combos in recent memory. Deep Don’t Stop follows suit, skillfully reviving the essence of ’90s New York club culture in a way that would have set Junior Vasquez’s Sound Factory ablaze. True to her mission, Tony y Not continues to spread joy and uplift others, both on and off the dance floor.

TEE MANGO’s first release on Kompakt has been a long time coming. Ever since Michael Mayer heard his sunkissed remix of The Invisible’s ‘K Town Sunset’ back in 2017, he’s been obsessed with his music. The two tracks here, ‘Moonshots’ and ‘My Mind Is Making Up Monsters’, are prime examples of TEE’s ability to create heartfelt, uplifting modern house music. There’s a sense of bacchanal liberation, a potent transcendental element that opens the mind to joyful bliss.

Artist: Voltaire 
Title: [QR]D.080.VOL2.25 
Label: COD3 QR 
Cat No: QRD080VOL225 
Format: Digital 
Released: 21 March 2025 

Track Listing: 
1. Detune 
2. Enlight 
3. Unity 

After a number of acclaimed tracks and EPs, the southern newcomer on the French electronic scene, Voltaire will be releasing his debut album on Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR label this year.  As a first taster, the three-track EP "[QR]D.292.VOL1.24" was released in October 2024.  Following on, a second EP drops in March features two more cuts from the forthcoming album alongside a third track which is exclusive to this new EP. 

Voltaire is an artist who built his career through passion, after electronic music fell into his lap somewhat by chance.  Coming from a region far from the preferred circuits of the music world, he cultivated his predispositions in autarky.  Very quickly, the musician took advantage of his training in the audio-visual industry (where he worked as a sound recordist and mixer for cinema, advertising and haute couture) to raise the artistic and technical quality of his productions to a very high level.  Today Voltaire is a COD3 QR regular: he has remixed "Tales from the Real World" from Laurent Garnier's "33 Tours Et Puis S'en Vont" album, had several vinyl and digital releases and has been in the line-up of several events. 

Voltaire uses his perfectionist approach to music to create a richly emotional eclecticism, whether it's the story-telling techno of "Detune", the housier edge of EP exclusive, "Enlight" or the electro-fied closer, "Unity". 

"[QR]D.080.VOL2.25" is released digitally on 21 March and will be followed by his "Echoes" album this summer.

Robson Ponte isn't just anybody. And certainly not just any former top soccer player from Bayer Leverkusen, but the namesake of Reinhard Voigt's first Kompakt 12", one of the label's first big hits. Timeless, cool and unforgettable, the way this snotty, dry football field beat pushes you forward, over it, this constant, almost stoic, mantra-like rap repetition - Robson Ponte, Robson Ponte,...

That was a good 25 years ago. So it's high time to celebrate a bicycle kick with a fitting run to the goal. None other than FC Kompakt centre-forward Juergen Paape has been hired for the remix return match. In the first few minutes of the match, Paape scores with two straight disco-techno crosses and a Schaffel cross from 25 metres out. Team captain Reinhard Voigt himself seamlessly follows in the footsteps of the original - dressed in a new, stylish black, white and red sound jersey, he keeps the ball in play with aplomb. From the stands, guest of honour Thore Pfeiffer comments on a hymn-like, sacred ambient lament with an appropriate timbre.
