RONN - Hypnotize (Original Mix)

Last year's '4' album saw Mr. Luke Vibert's first venture as Kerrier District in over a decade. And a successful venture it was at that – with the album becoming into an essential long player, and ranking as one of Bleep's top albums of 2015, Now, to mark Hypercolour's 50th single release, four of electronic music's heavyweights have brought forward three strong reworkings of 4: Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer, Head High (aka Shed) and RA Best Live Act of 2015, KiNK – whose remix comes up trumps in our eyes.

In his take on album favourite, "Techno Disco", KiNK deploys a spacey synth melody and a Reese-style bassline – transforming it into an energetic peaktime track, with elements not falling sonically far from a UR record.

The mysterious Polymod is set to debut on Dusky's 17 Steps imprint with the 'Polymod EP'! So far so anonymous, but the music contained within is anything but. We're very happy to be premiering lead track 'No Other', which looks set to provide some strong competition in the 'song of the summer' stakes. Driven forward by a yearning bassline, with an infectious rave-ready piano loop providing a splash of colour, it's a pastel-hued sunshine smash in the making. Already receiving heavy support from the likes of Kiwi, Dave Harvey and Alan Fitzpatrick, expect to be hearing 'No Other' absolutely everywhere very soon.

Polymod EP

PREMIERE: Polymod - No Other [17 Steps]

In memory of our friend Martin Dawson.

Dear all,

we thought long about how to deal with Martin Dawson's passing, as we have a long scheduled release tomorrow, and it feels strange promoting your new EP when still mourning the loss of a friend.

As it is (technically) very difficult to postpone a release on the next day, and as we believe that Martin would not have wanted this either, we decided to go ahead with it.

As a final goodbye, we would like to give you a free download of our favourite OFF Recordings track of his.

Bye Martin, you will be missed.

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.

Kiwi - Hello Echo Feat Bestley

Taken from the Rush Hour catalogue:

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for this record, since the Detroit crew (Theo Parrish, KDJ & Rick Wilhite, Carl Craig to name a few) picked up on it at the end of last summer… We've repressed some in order to supply the demand..grab them quick 
Side A is an extended disco version of Use Me, morphing in to and out of the original like butter. Clocking over 8 minutes Use Me Again becomes somewhat a modern take on the original disco version. It’s got enough drive to make a dance floor go crazy.

Side B meanwhile is an exclusive from his live set. Here he strips the classic “Over & Over” to the minimum before sliding into the original groove only for a moment, only to continue to ride the rhythm again. 


Use Me Again
