Berlin producer Emma Kollmorgen joins the Kompakt family with “You Are The”, her debut solo single and a paean to the uncertainty and unpredictability of love. Slowly enveloping, the song is an artfully built electro-pop hymn capturing “that feeling when you meet someone special and every sane fiber in your body spins out of control”, Kollmorgen says. Gracefully paced, “You Are The” shades in its lines with a push-pull tension that resolves, over its five minutes, to lushness.

There is not much known about Kollmorgen. Born and raised in Berlin, she spent her early years moving in and out of music – learning piano, teaching herself guitar, joining some bands, but it “never felt right”, she recalls. “(I) wanted to find my own sound and be more independent, write songs.” Attending a course to learn the basics of producing, some live performances followed, but generally Kollmorgen kept things low to the ground. A perfectionist by design, she’s also a risk-taker: “(I) love to create my own sounds – field recordings – trial and error – chopping, listening, looping…”

Kollmorgen was introduced to Kompakt by Patrice Baumel, who also supplies a beautiful remix of “You Are The”, taking the original’s late-nite melancholy out on the floor, with rolling waves of drone underpinning a steely, insistent rhythm. For Kollmorgen, though, this is just the start – there’s more to come as she patiently chips away at more songs: “I am still discovering new things while writing or singing and still want to dig deeper,” she reflects. And you can hear that depth in the emotional undercurrents that wash through “You Are The”, possessed as it is with a quiet, perceptive intensity. Perhaps Kollmorgen sums it up best herself: “Love is scary as fuck!”

Ninsa is an upcoming DJ from Amsterdam, Netherlands dedicated to bringing intense and deep music on the dance floors of the planet, maybe also mars in the future.

Ninsa:
When you produce a track with Gabriel the key ingredient is to have fun. Which begins with putting on a creative fun outfit before you sit down and go into music nerd mode behind your computer. This was the start of Glitter & Litter. A collection of glittery ideas and some littery ones we couldn't get rid of.

Gabriel:
Ninsa, Creative, intelligent, blue eyes, blond, pünktlich.. Every guy will understand that this is a girl you wanna make music with.
So we did. Honestly, after 27 years of producing techno it can be a bit boring to produce so it was fun to work together and get some ideas and vibes. Since this was a “finding the style” process, it was a 3 days trial and error session and 3 songs made it into one. Usually thats not so good but in this case, it works like a charm. It tells a story that takes you from intimate to expressive…

Gabriel Ananda & Ninsa - Glitter And Litter

Back in the years when I toured with Sven Väth we were looking for a release on Cocoon Records and Sven picked this track from my live set. But i wasn't too happy with the track. Now, many years later out of a sudden, I love it. It consists out of 2 tracks mixed in a long one. So you can play the whole thing when you wanna go to the toilet.

‘Burnt Letters’ (Sasha & lau.ra): complex yet danceable, percussive yet lyrical, a galloping beat with teasers of distorted vocal giving way to Lau.ra singing pure and clear in the extended breakdown and beyond, with a heartfelt elegy to love’s evanescence.

Following their highly acclaimed ’Sweet Ease’  / ‘Hybrid Society’, which reached No.1 on Beatport Indie Dance towards the end of 2021 and featured in countless DJ sets, Matthias Meyer and Budakid return to Watergate Records with another powerful collaboration, ’Saye’ / ’System’ released on October 14th.

Opening track 'Saye’ captures the inventive and sparkling production both Berlin-based artists have become renowned for. Hypnotic organ chords are deployed alongside euphoric vocal chops and jagged, driving beats to create a truly memorable track which is already generating a huge reaction on dance-floors when it has been road tested in recent Matthias Meyer and Budakid DJ sets. 

The stirring and atmospheric ’System’ balances ’Saye’ perfectly. Budakid’s haunting vocal is presented alongside glitchy, yet etherial synthesizer sequences with the central theme the idea that we are living in a broken system.

Ninsa: The interstellar “remix version” on Gabriels SoundCloud is a track that I’ve listened to many times. I love it and when we searched for inspiration we started to talk about how shitty it is that it’s just on SoundCloud and nowhere else. So we just made our own interpretation.

When we are creating, we find a balance somewhere in between of both our styles. There is no other mentor and friend that I would wish for in this music journey.


Ananda: “ Not many movies or events hit my deepest pain of being separated as much as interstellar. They did something right with this movie and the soundtrack is on point.

So in one of our sessions, Ninsa and I couldn't find something that moved us equally so we just decided to go into these chords of Hans Zimmer. 

The heaviness of the remix on soundcloud isn't so much in this one, so i decided to create contrast by also showing the happy side of that Theme in the break..

Ninsa is not only a really good friend and an amazing, hard working talent as a DJ and all that is connected to it, her passion also lights me up a little so that i feel motivated to make some more techno tracks and also enjoy playing on parties more. So big thanks for that.

Wrapping up this eventful year for Last Night On Earth - we have one more release that we have been treasuring for months now. Off the back of ‘Nalo’ - his collaboration with Sasha on the LNOE TEN compilation - Lake Turner will be making his solo LNOE debut next month with his four-track EP; ‘Further Now’.

Andrew Halford aka Lake Turner is a London-based musician who previously made music in post-punk and indie groups Great Eskimo Hoax (Rallye) and Trophy Wife (Moshi Moshi). His debut full length ‘Videosphere’ was released on Kompakt in 2020 receiving plaudits from The Guardian. It was the first time he fully articulated his own vision of electronic music. 

The kaleidoscopic  ‘Further Now’ EP showcases Lake Turner’s ever expanding sonic palette in the electronic realm, and brings some fresh angles - including a triumphant collaboration with Brazilian producer Gui Boratto. 

Lake Turner: "Working with Gui on Repeater was super special for me;  his music was a gateway into the electronic world I currently operate in. He was one of the first electronic producers I heard using guitars in techno music & as a guitar player it signalled to me that it was acceptable to do so. Ironically there's no guitars in the track we made together but do feel like what we've created is fresh out of the can."
