RICARDO TOBAR - THERE IS POP - CORLP037

Spring is in the air at Push Communications HQ - which can only mean another rejuvenating dose of the freshest, most fertile house. Hot tracks are here resplendent in all their glory. Sleeper tunes that flew under the radar first time around, shake off their winter hibernation and come back to life.

Steve Bug kicks things off in inimitable style, dusting off his Traffic Signs moniker for an exercise in stripped-down, Chicago-esque house that‘s topped by a downright rascalous vocal. More big names abound: Vincenzo dishes up the sinuous bassline of 'Touchdown'; Alex Niggemann delivers garage-tinged house under
new alias C'est Moi; Martin Landsky updates 2003's
classic 'Reject' - a statement of countercultural intent as fresh today as it ever was. Elsewhere, there's plenty of material designed for dancefloor deployment. Mark Henning's 'Pusher' is
fine-tuned for big systems. Shaded's 'Ripped Kick' is a no-holds-barred tech-house weapon. Cologne's Beatkind bring dub inflections and rasta vocals to an exercise in intensity.

And all the while, contrasts and diversity abound. Yannick Labbé's 'All Of It' is a delicious slow burner, burnished by the vocals of Zach Joss, while Panthera Krause and Philogresz bookend the compilation with two blissful, glowing tracks - an ethereal end to
an essential anthology. In between, picking favourites is an impossible task: from Johannes Brecht's snake-charming
'Nuages' to the sub bass of Jacob Phono & Jens Bond's 'Ion' to Arsy's virtuoso 'La Structure Dramatique' there is something here for every sensibility and style.

@marcromboy returns to our KOMPAKT EXTRA series with STALKER / BEYOND.

Since we last saw him in 2018 on SPEICHER 103, Marc has kept plenty busy with a release on Bedrock, a collaboration with Stephan Bodzin, plus a series of releases with Petar Dundov on his own Systematic Recordings. Beyond Marc’s rigorous DJ touring schedule, he performed live in a Planetarium and ended the year with a highlight, performing live at Philharmonie Cologne together with violinist Miki Kekenj and the Takeover! Ensemble.

Marc appears to be looking back to the deep, twisted forms of techno that shaped his early years with this double header. STALKER clearly delivers a typical Detroit-ish 90’s grittiness and drive which resounded the dancefloors of the German rave scene of that era.

BEYOND is a deeper cut for those late-night dreamers who are into the sound of Carpenter. A growling synth and laser light synth mingle relentlessly until a delicate piano quickly realizes that IT’S THE place.
