Michael Mayer - Ardor (Radio Edit)

Michael Mayer

Calling Michael Mayer one of the most important people currently active in the electronic music industry would be far from a stretch. He's the co-founder of Kompakt, one of the biggest record labels and distribution agencies in the world (being home to over 50 independent record labels). Besides that, he's a very busy DJ and also a more than prolific producer, whose total number of remixes has surpassed the 140 mark already for instance.

To be able to be active and competent in so many fields, he maintains a tight and very regular schedule. We spoke to him about that, Amsterdam Dance Event and his family life and you can read all about that in the latest issue of DJ Mag NL. In the meantime, enjoy this podcast and get your head into weekend mode. - C.

***************************************

On the 4th single from his highly acclaimed 4th LP "After Forever", Kasper Bjørke puts his disco noir anthem "Apart" into the safe hands of two luminary remixing talents.

The original version of "Apart" was selected as "Tune of The Month" in MixMag in the September issue, stating: 
“Its nothing short of genius… Kasper absolutely nailed it”.
And now, on the digital and limited edition 12” vinyl (with beautiful artwork by american artist John Copeland), you will find two epic remixes by Kompakt Records’ head honcho Michael Mayer and renowned UK producer, Ewan Pearson (Jagwar Ma, The Rapture, etc.).
 
Michael Mayer gives the tune's melancholy synth pop an epic feel, remaking it for the deepest and darkest of big room dancefloors, adding a discombobulating synth drone and ramping up the intensity levels.

Ewan Pearson's remix adds a High NRG vibe to expose the yearning vocal before adding layers of arpeggios and synthesizers to an utterly irresistible, motorik pulse with some epic breakdowns.

Both remixes skilfully navigate a line between the pop and dancefloor sensibilities of the original track, respecting the integrity of the bittersweet, emotional vocals of the Icelandic girlgroup Sísy Ey.

After the release of the three singles "Rush", "Sylvia" and "TNR", this package rounds off a quartet of singles, that confirms Bjørke's outstanding talent for sensitively combining influences of post disco and 80s synth pop in new and consistently invigorating ways. 

The album "After Forever" is out now on hfn Music.

House Control

These days every things slips through my fingers
Slides of my palm as I linger
She cuts the meat from the bones
She sees the gold from the stones
These days everything I make is a mess
Try to think big but I come up with less
I can cut the meat from the bones
I can see the gold from the stones
I am just a beat of a drum
A love for a second
And then I am gone
I am just a single chord strung
A love for a second
And then I am gone

These days every things slips through my fingers
I should cut the meat from the bones
I should see the gold from the stones
These days it's so easy for me to forget
I promise myself I never neglect
I could cut the meat from the bones
I could see the gold from the stones
I am just a beat of a drum
A love for a second
And then I am gone
I am just a single chord strung
A love for a second
And then I am gone

I am just a beat of a drum
A love for a second
And then I am gone
I am just a singer coord strong
A love for a second
And then I am gone

I am just a beat of a drum
A love for a second
And then I am gone
I am just a singer coord strong
A love for a second
And then I am gone

Kompakt founding father Michael Mayer remains one of today's most beloved DJ's and a true tastemaker. Continually bridging genres seamlessly in his sets with a finese rarely heard live, he brings to life the blueprint of what Kompakt is on the decks. With a radiating remix of Apparat about to drop in time for Record Store Day and a full length album in the works, this could be his most exciting year to date. This exclusive 12" is available only at Kompakt.fm.
