SKIN TO WIN

If you look at the artist line up of our new release, a press info is actually pretty obsolete, but I thought I´d write a few words anyway. Oniris from the south of France is really on the rise with his latest music on Laurent's Cod3QR and upcoming music on Bedrock or Systematic and when I got in touch with him to talk about releasing on Break New Soil, he sent „Stay“ and „Wild Thing“ - I was sold instantly! When thinking of adding a remix, I contacted my good old friend Josh Wink to see if he would be up for it and I honestly couldn´t be more blown away by the result. Josh's rework is a no-nonsense Techno anthem that surprises on first listen while leaving no doubt that it's a trademark Wink production with his subtle and sophisticated beat stunts and impeccable sound profile. Additionally Josh delivered an Acid Version plus a dub mix! We think this is one of the biggest releases on our label ever and can´t wait for you to check it out.

Oniris - Isla [Bedrock Records]

Richard Davis’ ‘Same Room’, a June release from the Berlin-educated Londoner that rumbled and tech-stepped its way into Pete Tong’s Weekend Hot Mix, makes a reappearance on Slovenia’s Danza Macabra imprint for the tail-end of the summer. Following a sharp label remix on the original three-track package, ‘Same Room Recomposed’ features two follow-up contrasts in the dark arts of deep house and techno, provided by the scheming Avatism and Swayzak.

Thomas Feriero as Avatism casts a stark spectre across the depths between doom-predicting house and powerfully chorded progressive techno, circling his own ‘Adamant’ album from last year. Glints of light scurry as if they’re trying to play tricks on you, and breakdowns cannot fail to put spines on ice. Authoritative string sweeps, whose scrutinising nature is as if Avatism is examining the crowd with a magnifying glass, are in direct competition with sprawling jet-powered basslines skulking below the dancefloor’s surface. Fully understanding the ideology of epic, it’s a thrill ride never found ever letting its guard down, travelling from minimal and primal to escalating and elaborate.

One of techno/tech house’s higher educators is David Brown under the seasoned guise of Swayzak; reunited with Davis after 2013’s ‘Shut Me Down’, the ‘Tordal Smesh’ mix begins as a booming pound of house shadowing the earth’s core. After descrambling signals moving in reverse while vocal strains apply hot breath to your ears - the pump of the drum unwavering to what is an enigmatic thought process - Swayzak’s decision to take his time turns Davis’ original into a game of cat and mouse. Just when you think it’s all gone quiet and the track is being put to bed, it dramatically kicks back into life as the bottom end reactivates and puts game faces back in play.

INTERNATIONAL ANYTHING - RUNNING IN THE UNDERWOOD - INCL. MICHAEL MAYER REMIX - COR12160

Cocoon Recordings has never been shy about pitching curve balls to the crowd. It also has an instinct for knowing what we want, even before we do! So here we are, with both these concepts in full effect in the form of International Anything’s „Running in the Underwood“. Markus Nikolai and Ole Schulte’s fledgling project has already featured on both Cocoon and Nikolai’s ubiquitous Perlon imprint and the Frankfurt/Berlin axis represented by these two heavyweight labels is perfectly encapsulated in this ‘summer anthem in the making’. 

Just like the recent „Disco Rout“ remix package, „Running in the Underwood“ channels the vibe of the early 2000s, one of the most creative and influential periods in German electronic dance music where some of the most influential genres momentarily converged. This release not only recaptures that moment  but emboldens it with state of the art technology that lifts it to another level. The low slung, smoldering intro suggests producers supremely confident in what lies ahead. The track creates intensity and momentum with sparse machine funk allowing maximum space for the dusty electronics to perform their elegant gymnastics while the hypnotic, cut-up dada logic of the vocals worm their way into your mind. 

It’s a pleasure to welcome back the iconic Michael Mayer on remix duties, who  turns in a peak time bomb with a significant amount of bounce to the ounce. Ring shifting electro beats slowly deconstruct into a booming 4/4 rhythm that carry the nervous staccato synths and surgically dissected vocal snippets forward. Mayer also let’s fly with a rampaging old school bass line that leads in and out of the swirling breakdowns for maximum dancefloor pressure. Safe to say it’s an entirely different trip that perfectly compliments the original, taking it into uncharted and totally unrestrained territory.

„See Where You Are“ is another song based groove utilizing a loose, swaggering bass riff designed to disorientate and disrupt. Disobedient synth lines trip the light fantastic while the monotone vocals speak the language of the dance floor, creating a classic interplay between rhyme and rhythm. Over time, everything crystallizes into a more solid arrangement giving the track a deeper, more self-reflective atmosphere through its lavish analogue instrumentation. It’s a point that shouldn’t be overlooked, scratch below the obvious dance floor appeal of International Everything and you’ll find masterful sonic sculptures at work.

DJ Pierre’s seminal Afro Acid welcomes a host of contemporary talents to remix Joyce Muniz including Oliver Dollar & Stefan Braatz, Alinka, Lauren Flax and Hannah Holland. The original single landed earlier this year and did plenty of damage around the world.

It is the German pairing of Oliver Dollar & Stefan Braatz who go first. The former is a master of sample heavy house with real heart, and often collaborates with Braatz. Here they offer a prickly version with chattery Chicago claps and bouncing drums and bass that will energise any set in style. Chicago native Alinka is next and is known for her weird and idiosyncratic take on house on labels like Crosstown, Classic and her own Twirl. She imbues her music with the spirit and history of the Windy City and here layers in acid flashes and machine gun like lasers that make
for a brilliantly dark and involving groove.

Lauren Flax comes from Detroit by way of Brooklyn and has worked with the likes of Little Boots and Tricky, DJed at Panorama Bar and released her jack tracks on cult labels like Unknown to the Unknown. Here she fantastically builds the pressure with gliding hi hats that get under your skin as the fat bass props up the libidinous and seductive vocals and acid twitches. Last of all, UK sensation Hannah Holland is a queen of bass heavy sounds and brings that to her remix, which is a slick and kinetic track of prickly drums, acid stabs and freaky synth work.

This is a powerful package of fresh and forward looking house music.

You may ask: "In the day and age of streaming playlists and the omnipresence of freely available mixes, what's the use of a label compilation?" The answer is simple: labels still serve as a dearly needed filter mechanism in this tsunami of music we're facing every day. Labels strive to establish trust between artists and listeners. They're like your favorite restaurant around the corner. On the spur of the moment, you might find more excitement in that hip place that just opened somewhere else. But when the novelty fades, you'll always return to your sanctuary. The safe place where they know your name and the last drink is on the house. KOMPAKT has become such a place for generations of fans and artists alike. And the TOTAL compilation series serves as its menu: always changing but instantly recognizable.

As per usual TOTAL is a collection of the past years biggest tunes, the creme de la creme of KOMPAKT's steady output of 12"s topped off with eight exclusive unreleased tracks that are also available on the 2LP vinyl edition of TOTAL 19.

With JÜRGEN PAAPE, the notorious VOIGT brothers, THOMAS/MAYER and JÖRG BURGER - all founding fathers are on board. Legacy artists SASCHA FUNKE and JUSTUS KÖHNCKE make their long-awaited comebacks, the latter with a kinky Patrick Cowley homage called "Mindless Sex Track". Cologne young blood JULIAN STETTER nails the starry-eyed, romantic KOMPAKT signature sound with his remix for an up and coming local pop outfit called ALBERT LUXUS. Fellow Colonian JONATHAN KASPAR makes his label debut with his slinky track "Renard". DJ BALDUIN definitely is one to watch in 2020. His massive "E.W.B.A." transcends the friendly populism of an ancient Love Parade anthem while capturing the sincere spirit of today's electro revival. REX THE DOG's "Vortex" and TOM DEMAC's "Serenade" perfectly showcase why KOMPAKT is still one of the most played and charted labels in electronic music today. In a scene that is more fragmented than ever these two producers delivered true consensus hits that are cherished on all sizes and shapes of floors beyond genre boundaries.

The second half completely belongs to a whole new breed from our beloved SPEICHER series such as ANNA, YOTAM AVNI, EXTRAWELT, RAXON, BLACKRACHAS, JOHN MONKMAN and LA FLEUR alongside our full time members PATRICE BÄUMEL, KÖLSCH and GUI BORATTO. The energy levels are way up and the mission reads clearly: We'll never stop dancing this way.

2020, a new decade Time for a little reflection, time for a spot of soul seeking, time for some personal contemplation. Or Acid Contemplation as Charlie Thorstenson likes to call it.

Continuing his elegant rise up the techno echelons, here we find the non-surfing Swede digging unfathomably deep in all possible directions on his spiritual stomping ground Ovum. It all kicks off with Acid Contemplation, an elephantine track that sets the broad field parameters thanks to its thundering kick/bass combo, subtle acid twangs and gentle piano breezes.

Its backed by two more equally forthright, widescreen messages: Distorted Chamber is a juggernaut design that captures the pure essence of techno that builds and builds until its very final throes. Unrelenting and ever-mutating with tightly weaved layers, this one is all about the momentum while the grand finale Trenger Dig is all about Charlies knack for intensity and drama. Gritty, pulsating and once again rising and rising until the very last moment, Trenger Dig is a certified siren of a tune, the type of which will work in any mix and guarantee elevation levels necessary for maximum reflection, soul seeking and of course contemplation.

Lets see what this new decade brings

Some real lush stuff here on the superb new 'Collective Cuts Vol. 2' EP on @cinthie's 803 Crystal Grooves label. The deepest of pumping warm chuggy techno over flows with undulating, pulsing pad and synth swathes, deft chord stabs, phat kicks and big cymbal rides. Atmospheric as fuck. The other tracks on the EP from Anaxander add up to make it an essential purchase.

One of Drumcode’s finest, Bart Skils returns for his first solo EP since 2018.

Bart Skils remains one of the label’s most consistent achievers going back to his debut in 2012. Eight original EPs, a stellar remix of Moby ‘Go’ and his now-classic collaboration with Adam Beyer ‘Your Mind’ have entrenched him as a DC treasure. All the while the Dutchman plays a nurturing role with the label’s nu-skool brigade, regularly playing B2B with Layton Giordani and teaming up with Weska for last summer’s ‘Polarize’ two-tracker.

His ninth Drumcode EP ‘Settle In The Sun’ delivers the first productions from his new studio after six months of preparation. The title track was inspired by an extended stay in LA over New Years, channelling the energy of Venice Beach’s vibrant skate culture to create an uplifting, big riff weapon. ‘Tropical Heat’ took influence from Bart’s experiences touring South America, as an evocative vocal sample and rave-kissed melody line run alongside a wicked rolling groove. ‘Shiva Says’ is a peak-time, brain-mangler in the best of ways, driven by a monster synth line that grows and contorts as the track progresses.
