we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.

nach touren rund um den globus kehrten eleanore und jason zurück in ihr abgedunkeltes studio und arbeiteten an dem hypnotisierendem nachfolger zu ihrem beeindruckenden debüt. >red night< wirkt wie eine meditation über trennung und wiederfindung, über fast verloren gegangene liebe und die lang nacht zu ihr zurück. der thith sound vermählt furchtlos minimalismus und abstraktion mit grossartigen melodien. eindringliche stringarrangements werden von treibenden rhythmen und eleanores faszinierender stimme überrannt. >red night< ist ein trip durch die schwarze grossstadtnacht, in der zeit sich dehnt, geschwindigkeit bricht, und gitarren in donner und herzklopfen eintauchen, bei immer intensiver werdenden vocals, je länger die nacht dauert. nach jüngsten auftritten mit odd future und kid cudi, mit den yeah yeah yeahs, james murphy und squarepusher werden thith jetzt auch bei uns ihr neues album ausgiebig live präsentieren!

stefan goldmanns adem finally brings a new concept of handling melodies to the world of house and techno. pushy synths tuned to arabian intervals, playfully pitch bent around one repeated note that sticks to the kick as if its life depends on it. its as if a parallel universes acid has been invented in some lunatic asylum in tirana. this primitive melody is as alienatingly synthetic as it is offensively brain-dissolving. in the hands of a dj, adem” is like the captagon formula in the hands of the bulgarian secret service: many deaths, big bucks. chalga, tallava, manele - call it anything. the b-side’s rigid chain is as detuned, yet strictly limited to a rogue off-beat bassline pumping in between metallic house drums. thats it.

incl huge brendon moeller resketch. majestic yet playful, monotasking is a 9-minute love letter to the euphoric lost dance floors of the mid-90s written in the code of today. merging hypnotic polyrhythms with quirky swung drums, its the harmonically modulated chords that carry the theme, transcending their elusively simple rhythm with an evocative narrative structure that seamlessly guides the flow of the piece before evaporating into the translucent pads of the outro. pulling no punches, monotasking is perhaps preds most fearless work to date - with no better home than here on thoughtless.

karat is delighted with this new single by seuil. we have been watching this guy attentively in his progression and we are glad to finally find him on karat while his production skills have reached a ripe condition. we guess his rise has just begun so watch him carefully in the near future. the two tracks of the record, in different ways, are close to karats spirit, deep, funkyand abstract enough to be used as a floorfiller or at home for a precise listening.

new ep from berlin-based producer, artist, dj and head honcho of catenaccio records, benjamin fehr. this 1 inch highlights his commitment to >groove noir< - fehr s self-defined dark and psychedelic take on electronic music. the lead track, my lover lures the listener in with dark, minimal grooves, perfectly exemplifying fehr s hypnotic sound. the b-side puts the groove in groove noir, thumping out of the gate with a dark kick that builds and builds, punctuated by a single haunting piano key. on the scene since 1993, fehr started out with residencies at well-respected clubs such as robert johnson and the legendary kiosk. he s had a multitude of releases on well known labels, like foundsound, brouqade, lowmidhigh lmtd, tic tac toe, nervmusic, adjunct and many more. 2011 has kept fehr busy with the release of his ep, stay at home and read a book on his own label and upcoming remixes on eminor, nervmusic, suena hermosa, 3117 records, and leet.

the man whos seen it all, thats terranovas fetisch, but he had it coming. as punks earliest and certainly youngest adopter, he strolled through late 1970s berlin, then moved to new york researching the first symptoms of hip hop, only to find himself being a many clubs resident dj in london at the end of the eighties. enters terranova, shrouded in mystery from the very beginning, fetisch‘s go-to project, that he originally conceived in 1996 to explore new club territory, and that has since built its very own cult following. kompakt truly feels honored to be the new home to an artist with such a rich background in club culture, especially as terranovas latest incarnation includes berlins house staple and boywonder &me as well as guest singer khan in his preferred role as the longest running hype in the history of underground awesomeness. consequently, it is with great poise that the trio‘s latest 12inch >so strong< commands its army of listeners to the floor, not unlike terranovas first outing on kompakt, the confidently named i want to go out. both the title track and epic flipside boogie for the dollar make up for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. no only do terranovas sequencing and beat programming deliver in spades, the package also sports some of the best vocals khan has churned out to date, featuring his trademark fusion of cool indifference and pure sleaze: >i give myself up to your splendor... so strong.<

hiding behind their three character website is a belgian duo called goldffinch whose steep vision of dancefloor techno marries loveable little phrases of awkward computer conversation with the kind of kick drums that will rattle the windows of your neighbours house when your soundsystem is tweaked perfectly. goldffinch may well be a duo bent on keeping things simple but when the end result, which is built out of such minimal layers, is so arresting, there’s no need to change the formula. not one bit.

round three on blank with phat groovin und pumpin tech house madness

stefan schutz aka juno6 belongs to the society of the leipzig new school, which for the last 5 years has cut a path through emotions and change in diverse regions. his particular real estate is comfortably between deeper house and thoroughly scrutinized techno. sometimes he tends in one direction, at other times the opposite. all the while juno6 captivates both listeners and dancers alike with something new. his live sets are always an occasion – sound expeditions in the most literal sense embedded powerfully, yet imminently fresh as they are bound to tradition. he even dials up the the ambient/electronic field with project beautiful planet earth, or together with friend daniel stefanik as sensual. the sonic awareness of juno6 is expressed consistently as a potent degree of warmth, which paints a distinct lively and long-lasting tone on club music. the tone is hardly useful as a flavor of the month, but rather, a music with stamina and character. his track >guununk< is for more than a few the quiescent highlight of the fat 5zig compilation. on his second from fat, he displays the juno6 portfolio fully and expands his present effect with a portion of funkiness and a sprinkle of pop – at least on one of the cuts. with clever vocals mr. schulz informs us yet again.

john daly continues his search for the beauty on house music. his own one track records label delivers number 6. and its another stunning release with an amazing emotive house track in the vein of larry heard and some early chicago masters that been exploring the more fragile side of house music. john delivers tracks that are emotive yet strong and even some jacking vibes in it and a fierce bassline that keeps the pressure on. the chant comes in two parts and are among the most beautiful tracks we ve heard in a while... part 1 is the original version with full on vocal chants, where part two is a sort of dub mix with amazing melodies. another stunner by mr john daly.

for the new musik krause ian simmonds has put a considerable fire under the adrenalin of sensuality so that the cinematic played before the minds eye brings both friends and free-spirited dancers to the same place. that which marked the typical simmonds sound up to now gets from ian a considerable punch from way way down. the club equipment and party-ers will be thrilled - and thats a promise!

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

sintope drops another hot release from their catalogue down to the 12 junkies. a groovy primetime tune with a catchy guitar-hook completed with a great remix by david labeij (remote area, intacto,sunset handjob).

achtung, warning, balushi is out with two new techno bombs for the summer. on the a side let me be myself is a deep aquatic adventure with a huge basline chugging along. there are some deep dark underwater effects and vocal snippets which develop into a deep stabby groove that hypnotizes anyone listening to the track. there is then a break with a beautiful vocal derived from the snippets that refreshes the listener and takes them into another dimension before bringing them back into the heavy hipnotic groove. on the aa side we have the path one hell of a tecno crossover designed to electrify and rock summer crowds all globally...with a funky meaty bassline that rolls on and perfectly complements both rasta vocals and crazy electronic synths and squelches the path is a fat groove to look out for on the hottest dancefloors...

following the 7 inch release of panda bears final single in the series that lead up to the release of his new album tomboy, we present the actress remix the way it was intended – a 12 minute epic remix straight for the summer masses. b-side marked only with a unique etching of the original 7 inch artwork.

ltd repress 200 copies , 2lp + dl ... expect the unexpected, they say, and it should come as a surprise to many as we warmly welcome to the kompakt family one of americas most celebrated producers in dance music, john tejada! born in austria, he relocated to his current home of los angeles at the age of 8 and, following a brief career in hip-hop, found his home in electronic music. if you are even the slightest fan of the genre, you will be hard-pressed not to have heard his music over his decade+-long career. >parabolas< is a true highlight in john tejadas deep catalogue. bold words indeed for a producer who is known for unexpected variation and tremendous musical imagination

without a doubt it is one of the strongest pieces so far to come out of the mind of matt star. morphology, the title track is a trip that is leading us directly into the center of the dancefloor. it is characterized by its enormous dynamic, a deep & dirty roughness that comes up alongside an unstoppable kind of a mesmerizing groove - this one, for sure, is going to be loved by all fans of the usual suspects that are playing in the global champions league of modern high quality techno music. mttstr on the flip side seem to be building up a bit more subtle. both of them show matts talent for patiently modulating sounds creating almost extraterrestrial fluid grooves. both sides of the record are bringing an overall energy containing several well placed breakdowns and carefully crafted moments of high tension before matt is letting things kick back into full force again.

another hot limited marcellus pittman release with 3 tracks. already been played by theo parrish and omar s. dirty raw house tracks from detroit! on a dark dance floor you will be given a glimpse into the heart and mind of marcellus pittman. fit sound, a new imprint from detroit,debut with an ep from the talented detroit producer marcellus pittman. erase the pain, is a mutated acid banger carefully arranged to be absolutely devastating when in the right hands. twisted bass lines and synths travel together and divert over a fierce jacking beat. sync is a night drive through the city streets, but this night is strange because the sky has become purple. grey buildings turn into unrecognizable forms. people standing on street corners, now appear to be zombies lurking in the darkness. is this a nightmare or is this for real? illa 5 ela brings it all back to the days when you first felt love for that special somebody. early white labels copies have been tested in clubs worldwide and the results are unanimous: killer. follow theo parrishs advice, dont sleep...serious rugged service right here!

after seeing the banging >red hot< - her first released production - become the all-favorite track on airdrops extraction us compilation, it is a natural step for connie to slip once again into her constar outfit, and release this time her first record, the sunset tribe ep. here, constar does what she does best, take her clan on a ride through different skylines, from the shores of bali in indonesia to the chinese inland mountains. indeed, in sunset tribe the careful listener will hear parts of a kecak ceremony - pronounced keh-chahk , also known as the ramayana monkey chant - a form of balinese musical drama, that roots in a traditional trance-inducing exorcism dance. a piece usually performed by a circle of hundreds of men percussively chanting cak while throwing up their arms, depicting a battle between the monkey vanara and the evil king ravana...

matt karmil is one of the most favorite newcomer for us. after we have listened his debut track reverse peephole,we are overwhelming. we said masters at work meets ibiza, fight on a side is unique merodic raw house and kiss and make up is more uplifting but sweet techno house track. if you like the production of dj koze,you will love this release.

after being charted throughout the past few months with his label s previous release >slower lov<, cesare vs disorder continues to deliver the goods on his >mean< imprint with a divine release from long-term friend and musician ollie silva aka canary fontaine. here we are again with some obscure yet funky, driving and danceable material, the recognisable trademark sound that mean has been carving for the past two years. there s a certain latin vibe throughout the whole ep that shows ollie s chilean background, especially when he adds his live musical skills with congas, toms, guitars, basses, voices, anything he can get his hands on! the productions on this release are delicate and refined, with >clothes horses< being a deep rhythmic and harmonious jazz adventure, while >arizona creeping< and >cindy says so (feat. eddie smith aka zippy)< result in some very solid minimalist bouncy techno, two powerful alternatives that simply roll many danceable and percussive elements into one package, perfect for dark rooms during journey times. cesare vs disorders noctambular version of >cindy says so< will be on the vinyl release to add some spice to the dancefloor in his usual psichadelic rockin way.
