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

everybody better bring some towels, because housemeister is about to soak the world in electro champagne. presenting his third full length music, the dirty don of club music did it again. touching ravers hearts and hitting ravers right on their heads at the same time. in arts, good ideas are hard to have, but easy to get - masterful musical output is pretty hard to create, but once itÕs done, itÕs about pure listening pleasure. and with a thousand shitty drugs flooding the streets of music today, it isnÕt everyday you get to consume the 100% stuff. Òmusic is awesomeÓ is that shit thatÕs straight from the kitchen, and housemeister has produced this bitch to the point like a 5 star chef. it seems playing clubs and crowds all over the world do add to a players game. add class and confidence. add experience and excellence, add balls as well as balance, and maybe it just takes 15 years of hardcore djdom to be able to come out and kill like this. music is awesome!

hercules and love affair Ð the name itself combines images of strength and vulnerability, masculinity and femininity, as well as a classic disco troupe. their music on their self-titled album debut followed suit. strident beats but sweetness at the core. music with a plan of attack but an identity as fluid as that of its creators. a gloriously burnished fusion of three decades of dance, from disco to house, acid to synth-pop, derrick may to giorgio moroder (and lets not forget yazoo), but sounding like no other dance record before Ð or since. and now theyve gone and done it again. the troupes second album blue songs represents the best that dance music can get Ð still bursting with freshness while in touch with its roots. as mainman andy butler says, >its a softer record in some ways, and at other moments a more aggressive record too.< the album also reveals more about his world and his songwriting, resulting in a more honest, and yet more universal, record

madlib got a bit lost in his detour into jazz - madlib medicine shows 7 (high jazz) and 8 (advanced jazz). he was supposed to circle back with a punch-you-in-the-face return to hip-hop form - a collaborative album with detroit rapper frank nitti - but instead he found himself lost in the lost gates... a place where black soul (madlib medicine show 10) really means disco funk. sorry about that. the good news is: hes back. and that hip-hop album, for which the medicine show faithfully have been holding their tickets, is finally here. its called lowbudget high-fi music and its a interesting look back at the madlib medicine show and a prelude of what is to come in the 12th, 13th and Ð maybe Ð 9th releases in the series. all of the regular madlib collaborators Ð med, guilty simpson, strong arm steady Ð are represented here with exclusive tracks. karriem riggins pops in for a supreme team interlude, as does a.g. madlib digs out a jaylib-era track that was earmarked for the never-realized second album and, of course, interludes, outerludes and Ð probably Ð queludes abound. the madlib medicine show series is a combination of madlibs new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the beat...

debut album from curv on vinyl vibes records ... after various successful 12inch releases on vinyl vibes, the label introduce their first artist album from curv. while in the past mixing organic and clubby elements, deeply rooted in soul and jazz, curv recently developed a stronger love for electronic music, splendidly reflected in this fantastic record. between here and nowhere is not just another electronic album as one might expect. it features a unique style of warm, analog sounding club music which makes perfect sense as a listening experience too. it would not be curv if jazz, funk and disco didnt feature, if he would not occationally mix the electronic beats with some natural sounding drums, the keyboards with some piano. but he is now putting all these things into an electronic context of house beats, naughty electro and even deep minimal. in between all of this you still find all those stunning little details that make his music curv-music in its very own & special way.

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of >live< in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a >classic< setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end. produced by patrick pulsinger (hercules & love affair, m-plant, cheap), the album is a masterstroke resulting in great dancefloor movers, state of the art analogue recordings and a prime showcase of elektro guzzis incredible creative capabilities. played live with no overdubs, this record breaks down the demarcation line separating man and machine. everything in techno has been done? you aint heard nothing yet. !!! elektro guzzi live at s—nar (barcelona), berghain (berlin), fabric (london), trouw (amsterdam), spring festival (graz), flex (vienna), rote sonne (munich), mellow festival (sofia) and maaaany more

ark has got an eclectic and ÒorganicÓ sound, something in between. from his origins as guitarist in a number of 80Õs funk bands, most notably trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is pepe bradock and onto the great matthew herbert & losoul with their first collaboration, Ôbelle luretteÕ in Ô99. the ÔalleluyarkÕ ep series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. his 2005 long player on perlon, ÔcalienteÕ won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with shalom (as shalark), krikor (as krikark), cabanne (as copacabannark), mikael weill (as les cerveaux lents) and dolibox. his cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of stephen beaupre, mr. oizo, archive, mossa, salif keita, slabb, fym, robag wruhme É arkÕs new lp (cd+vinyl) features singers (xanax, lippie) and is here nowÉ
