kompakts inner circle is closing the mantasy remix series. terrannova, juergen paape, j.burger & m.aguayo

after releasing his highly praised sophomore full-length mantasy (komcd100/kom250) last year, kompakt honcho michael mayer signed on some of his favorite artists to rework the album material to their liking. the second entry in a series of three, mantasy remixe 2 features grandiose remixes from accomplished producers agoria, robag wruhme and will saul & october markedly picking up on the originals thirst for adventure. seminal frenchman agoria certainly doesnt need an introduction to any self-respecting fan of electronic dance music, as the long list of worldwide floor biggies released by this unique producer indisputably proves.

first remix package with mixes by barnt, the mole and philipp gorbachev

it hass been eight years since michael mayer released his debut album >touch<, but one certainly couldnt consider him lazy, what with a tightly packed schedule of dj gigs and umpteen remixes. all the more reason that kompakt is pleased to announce the sophomore album mantasy, a long-awaited, indispensable update of michael mayers production sound and an essential release for the label in 2012.
pressing on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, includes cd-copy of the album.

from gui borattos latest album iii comes >this is not the end<, an indie minded track that convincingly demonstrates guis impressive skill set when it comes to emotional narratives embedded in a distinctively monumental context. like his timeless >beautiful life< and last years album highlight >destination: education< (already remixed to perfection by terranova and tale of us), >this is not the end< features the beautiful vocals of luciana villanova, who seems to know exactly what makes gui tick - which doesnt come as a surprise, as they are married – and possesses this rarest of all gifts, an unique voice that seems to address each listener personally. in his own 2012 mix featured here, gui doesnt so much concentrate on the originals tearjerking qualities (which were already fully formed), but streamlines the arrangement for ease of use on the floor of your choice, making the track even more refined and addictive. those of you looking for a slighty more adventurous approach will find their satisfaction with michael mayers rework on the flipside, where the source materials hypnotic qualities are brought to the fore, resulting in a masterful slice of catchy prime time psychedelica. with both mixes turning out to be instant classics, we can definitely confirm that this is not the end.

kompakt has always been partial to belgium as they have been tremendously loving to us ... leading the charge of support have been our friends mugwump – the dynamite duo that comprises of geoffoy and the star of our show today – kolombo. we have had a great strain of releases with them over recent times and many will remember kolombo from a number of big tunes for turbo, vice versa and boxer recordings. kolombo pays tribute to the spirit of slo-mo belgian new beat with >waiting for<. a 105 bpm driven concoction of classic house, balearic disco lead by the voice of 80s pop maestro howard jones of his memorable hit >everlasting love< means yes, we have a winner!

nach längerer pause mal wieder ein flottes duett der kompakt rave-doppelspitze : michael mayer/reinhard voigt. das da die alarmläuten glocken versteht sich von selbst. umgedreht gibt es ein neues gesicht aus lausanne der den techhouse packt, schüttelt & verdreht wieder auf uns loslässt

closer musiks matias aguayo elektrisiert und erotisiert mayers besten albumtrack und kylie schaut zu!!

mann, was haben wir auf diesen moment gewartet. jahrelang hieß es: 'et kütt, et kütt !' nichts kam ! und nun dann doch. ja, wir lieben das album, denn es erzählt seine geschichte ! und die ist kompromisslos, detailreich, schwelgerisch, vielseitig & liebenswürdig ! ein echter mayer halt !

mr charming is back after 4 years !

on a mission is exactly that, a mission of love, a mission of peace . the positive vocals hark back to those of early 90s house tracks, which created unity through music and clubbing. the rhythmic beat of the drum is determined, as percussive layers build and the vocals bleed into the synths. francois k provides two variations of the track. his remix features more prominent drumbeats driven by a growling bassline. on his rockers dub version, francois goes all out and dubs us into the stratosphere. up next is the michael mayer remix, with a more electronic take on the original with driving synths and a whirring, throbbing bass-line.

michael mayer. credited by many as one of the leading tastemakers in dance music, his dj sets have influenced a generation (or two) of musicians and fans out there today. an artist that has never allowed time or age to slow him down – michael mayer remains tirelessly motivated behind the dj decks, in the studio or behind his desk at kompakt, the company he co-owns and is up next on k7’s long running dj-kicks series.
