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.

Our favourite Cologne newcomers, 9OASES are back with a bang! "Call Coco" is pure, undiluted, infectious fun for summer dancefloors of all sizes and colours. Think Mory Kante's immortal "Yeke Yeke" clashing with Tyree Cooper hip house in a 2025 stylee. Feeling blue? Call Coco!

Our homie Jonathan Kaspar takes care of primetime in his usual skilful and efficient manner. Embedded in his precision groove work, Lannakise’s angelic vocals will certainly trigger many moments of sweet, ecstatic disorientation.

Ata Kak's first new song in over 30 years!

Ata Kak created a peculiar slice of Ghanaian music history with his debut album “Obaa Sima”. While it barely made a ripple at the time of its release in 1994, the cassette found a new life online in 2006. A not-so-underground cult obsession grew after it appeared on  the blog Awesome Tapes From Africa as its very first post, a sort of manifesto for the project. His addictive amalgam of left-field electronic music and Twi-language hiplife reached surprising levels of awareness among music fans of many stripes. The mystery behind the musician’s identity grew. Eventually Yaw Atta-Owusu came out of the shadows, from his quiet home in Kumasi, to tour the world playing high-energy, sweat-soaked performances at major festivals like Glastonbury, Sónar and Pop Montreal. 

Now, for the first time since 1994, Ata Kak releases new music. Honed in studios around Kumasi over the last several years, the songs feature the rapper-singer’s acrobatic rap, signature scatting, dramatic drums and even traditional Akan harp. The compositions are more ambitious than his earlier work, with more complex arrangements and layered harmonies. Ata Kak’s new songs are also the natural expression of a restless artist—he is a prolific poet and author of a half-dozen books, as well as an active gardener and busy painter. 

Born in Ghana in 1960, Ata Kak wasn’t always involved in music. But his travels and openness to the world lead him into the music industry. While living in Germany, he was invited to play drums in a reggae band and subsequently played in highlife bands in Ontario after moving to the Toronto area. He recorded “Obaa Sima” there at his home studio and released it in Ghana in 1994. He didn’t participate in music much in the intervening years until “Obaa Sima” was reissued in 2015. He started performing his song live with the help of a brilliant cast of London-based musicians and has toured three continents and played to thousands of fans in venues of all kinds.
