Midnight Magic’s perennial disco anthem “Beam Me Up” announced itself as an instant classic from the moment of its release in 2010, and at long last the fellow Brooklynites joined us for a 10-year-anniversary package (minus one lost year) that once again establishes the timeless quality of the song with a fresh and versatile package of new remixes.

Norwegian space-disco don Prins Thomas delivers a sprawling and elegant mix, grounding melodic and psychedelic elements over a bumping percussive disco rhythm treatment, stretching out over 8 minutes of blissful breakdowns, delays and driving bass lines. Kim Ann Foxman takes the song to a darker and dubbier place with her “Beam Me To The Basement Mix,” layering samples of singer Tiffany Roth’s vocal and insistent acid synths over a heavy and pulsing low end. Each Other, a new project by Max Pask and NYC club royalty Justin Strauss, crafts an extended peak-time stormer of a mix, with churning analog drum and synth production that is somehow ravey, New-Wavey and lush all at once.

These three mixes truly capture an entire club night in one record, each a beautifully unique interpretation that showcases the inimitable talent and creativity of the remixers, and is also a testament to the enduring perfection of the original. Grab this record immediately and beam yourself back to the dance floor!

Sally Dige - Dance Of Delusion

A Dub Techno Journey is a compilation that traverses Dantes circles of Hell, transforming them into hypnotic and profound soundscapes. Each track represents a canto from Dantes Inferno, interpreted by producers from different parts of the world, united by a shared sensitivity for dub techno vibrations. The idea was conceived by Francesco Tamburrano, who envisioned a musical journey blending literature and sonic exploration, and took shape through the collaboration with the label Superordinate, always attentive to visionary projects with an international scope. The result is a dark and immersive path, where enveloping basslines and deep echoes guide the listener on a sonic pilgrimage through Dantes Inferno.

After a year’s hiatus Optimo Music Disco Plates returns with the first of several planned releases.

First up is long time friend Phil Kieran with an EP made specifically with Optimo in mind. It has been tried and tested over recent months and more than ticks all our boxes. We feel confident it will tick yours too.

Phil says  “The Ep was recorded in my house and made up of mostly live percussion performed live by Thomas Tettey Annang. Originally from Ghana, he moved to Belfast some years ago. 

It just so happens his wife is a close friend of my sisters and that was the first introduction.  Thomas now runs "Releasing Rhythms” here in Belfast teaching drum classes. 

We used a wide selection of traditional African drums that all have their own name, each one has a style and a sound.  The rhythms used in this record would stem back to South American rhythms but using African drums.  This was a sound and rhythm that influenced early post punk records in New York and still has an influence on dance music today.”

Released on vinyl (and digital) on March 26th 2018. Distributed by Kompakt.

Sphere EP [Garage Hermetique]

Premiere: As One 'Asa Nisi Masa' (Juan Atkins Remix)

There was a small revival of people who had left from the big city to embrace the far and distant future of the countryside. Wild and free they danced beside fires under the pale glow of the moonlight by standing stones which had arrived long before their time. They told stories late into the night, tall tales from the depths of their past in the big haunting city of lights which they had left so long behind. It was not a place which they would ever return, why would they dream of such a lifestyle when they had the world at their feet amidst the green?

All City Records are set to reissue a highly sought after post punk record from the depths of Irish obscurity. Stano's "Content To Write In I Dine Weathercraft" has fetched a pretty penny on Discogs across the years, This track features Michael O'Shea.

PREMIERE: Stano  - Seance Of A Kondalike [All City]

The jungle was beautiful at this time of year, the plants were growing with profound ease and the dense green of the forest seemed to appear from everywhere as if it had sprouted from the centre of the very earth itself. The cries of tropical birds could be heard from the rooftop of leaves which hung overhead whilst the hustle and movement down on the forest floor was enchanting and busy. In the distance there was the sound of water, it cascaded from a tall waterfall in the midst of the jungle...

MINIMALAFRIKA are set to release a new EP on E-Beamz and blimey is it a good one. Beautiful percussion workouts with abstract sensibilities and freedom.

The summer is hot and the stages remain empty but the fans have spoken and we refuse to stop the beat here at Kompakt! London’s own @kiwidj joins us with “Hello Echo” to fill your boombox park hangs with 3 epic blends of disco, house and everything in-between.

To those unfamiliar with Kiwi here’s a quick intro. He’s the mind behind Crossbreed, the talked-about label and party series coming out of London. His early music endeavors saw him release on coveted labels like Disco Halal, Days Of Being Wild, Deep Shit, Optimo, Mood Black, Correspondent and we cannot forget the massively massive single “Orca” released on Futureboogie in 2017. He’s now ready to share the fruits of his lockdown with this debut for Kompakt.

We ring in with the title track ”Hello Echo” featuring Bestley on vocals. Simply put, THIS is that disco-fied feel good single that is as essential as every hot day requires a cold drink in hand. Sexy and bold, “Down with the Rhythm” an immaculate bass line and a vocal that would make Dave Gahan proud. “Acqua Panna” is a favourite for us here. A crazed breakbeat mingles with a lost piano and synth that seems to jam on nowhere but somewhere that we find is very dear to the dance floor.
