COMPOST BLACK LABEL #46 | Zwicker | "Traumdeuter (Extended Version)" feat. Matt Didemus

Zwicker - Oddity ( The  John Talabot's Misteriosomix)

Talented Australian newcomer Jamie Lloyd continues his upward trajectory with his debut album Trouble Within released internationally in September following two successful EPs in 2006. The album has been getting the remix treatment from some of our favourite producers ahead of it’s global release with the first 12” to surface featuring remixes from Berlin duo Trickski [Sonar Kollektiv] and Zwicker [Compost Black Label]. 

Trickski fans won’t be disappointed as the duo step to the plate with a high-octane floor-rocking house rework of You and I that has already been setting floors alight for the few who’ve received advance copies - Damien Lazarus and DJ T immediately added it to their next Get Physical comp before we even had a mastered copy! The hats sizzle, the bass kicks and snarls, the snares crack... but what makes these guys stand out is their innovative arrangements and fearlessness of taking risks. The power in this track palpable as the vocals build and build, then plateau… before the track drops HEAVY and we are off again. Killer.

On the flip Swiss producer Zwicker (the man behind Kumquat on Compost Black) gives What We Have an utterly tasteful rework, with an exquisite nudge here and there to bring it into “last track of the night” territory. Jamie’s soaring butter smooth vocals sit atop tasteful live hats and a solid bassline in what is a very musical and soulful dancefloor compatible interpretation of the original.

Info: After one and a half decade and more than 400 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums. The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.

Ever since the beginning of electronic music the voice was considered an instrument that shouldn’t be forgotten. So when everybody considered the beats and the bass as the King, there was still love for vocals. Sometimes to create an atmosphere of tribalism with its own mantras, sometimes as a work of poetry. But always present.

From the depths of the Compost vaults vocal tracks were selected and mixed by Rupert & Mennert. Compost and Rupert & Mennert are more than proud to present two shining examples of all the great songs that were sung and produced in the last two decades.

Could one say that this particular ‘Compost Selection’ defines a genre? Well... not entirely. Do all the great vocalists that sang on an immense amount of Compost releases deserve their own spotlight? Well... hell yes!
The first take has the appropriate sub-title: Sisters. On this very compilation, thirteen tracks are selected and mixed together. With vocal contributions by Bajka, Siri Svegler, Vanessa Freeman, Nasreen Shah, Virag and many more. The tracks will go back and forth through all kinds of genres. From the bit-hop of Ben Mono, post broken beats of Beanfield and Sistars and the poppy electronics from Marbert.Rocel, Siri Svegler to the beats by
Douglas Greed and Phreek Plus One. Bringing you the soulful sounds of Minus 8 and Sepalot and an absolute stunning funky hysterical remix by Quantic.

So let the sisters of Compost be your guide through their musical landscape!

Who are Rupert&Mennert?
Rupert & Mennert reside in Den Helder, The Netherlands. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. From there they send their music into the wide world. They broadcast a highly irregular radioshow called Weird Pigs. They remix tracks and invent new concepts about making music. One of those mysterious new concepts is called: Brain Connection Series... also on Compost Records. And of course you can expect more Compost Selections from their hand too.
