once again, erol alkan and boys noize have teamed up, for what has become a stunning re-imagining of last years smash single >avalanche<. determined to avoid a taking an obvious route, the pair originally intended to commision a spoken word interpretation - the natural choice was the melifluous jarvis cocker. on the remix tip the duo enlist the maestro himself ewan pearson, who supplies the deeper underground re-version, that reroutes proceedings to dubbed out berlin basement afterhours to stunning effect. not to be out done, hot talent canblaster interprets the original as a low-slung bleeptastic old-school electro workout that rounds the package off in glorious style.

having once said that daily life as well as adventurous trips across the globe were the source of her inspiration when making music, its obvious which recent event in the world of anja schneider formed the basis of her new ep on mobilee records. whilst she takes a well earned pause and enjoys a very new lease of life, >hello boy!< will hit the stores in october. for this release, she joined lee jones in the studio to make something with a twist. with a strong anja schneider flavour, title track >hello boy!< cleaverly transposes a real sense of excitement and waiting on to the dance floor, with soft mysterious chords and a steady build that works itself into a drop. >rio bravo< offers a relief with more of an airy head-spinning feel and >let me out< … well, its done now ,)

rainbow arabia have been one kompakts most endearing acts to work with us in years. the husband and wife duo danny and tiffany preston started our year out with the genre-defying full length >boys and diamonds< which went on to become one our most acclaimed releases of recent time - the los angeles times went so far as to proclaim >rainbow arabia are l.a.s new electro heroes< in a recent feature. in honor of the exhaustive touring throughout the us and europe the band continues to trail blaze, we found the need to put out another limited edition 7 inch for the fans and collectors out there. the title song >boys and diamonds< combines the sway of >80s pop< with the raw power of cumbia and ethno-dance mayhem. tiffanys vocals are hauntingly powerful and a testament to the sheer will and work this band has put in over the past year. hardmix are a favorite of the band and we here at kompakt were honored have him tackle the song. what we received is melodic techno bliss - a shapeshifting extravagance that uniquely keeps the essence of the original but with a solid bass kick to keep the dance floor well on momentum

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!

come end of may, dancefloors will be overdosing on awesome music. legendary dirty man housemeister will blow out his third mother-l fucking-p >music is awesome< for the wicked, and rave will reign again. but you can’t just stick your face out into this kind of quality noize - it would mini-melt right off, see!? so housemeister took instant classic electro anthem title track >music is awesome< to some players and friends and said >look boys, i m putting out a smaller dose upfront so nobody will die on the dancefloor, now who s gonna help me save some lives?< everybody was in on this ep effort, of course.

in 2009 the internationally acclaimed german director tom tykwer (perfume, run lola run, the international) supervised a film project in kenyas largest township kibera together with his wife marie steinmann. they put together a team of international film pros that each mentored one film student and helped them put together the movie soul boy. a story about a boy who has to go on a journey to rescue his fathers soul from a mysterious voodoo women.
the result of xavers score is a percussive journey reminiscent of minimal music from the 60s paired with african vibes but completely void of world music cliches. its closer to krautrock and steve reich than to the commonly shallow perception of indigenous music by first world movie directors. full of odd sounding kalimbas and plucky guitars, backed by heavy orchestral drumming and floating e-bows.

akiko kiyamas latest release features four tracks of intricate drum programming, bringing her characteristic warmth to the groove with their ghostly whispered vocal samples and the clicking and clanking poly-rhythmic sound made famous by the legendary berlin imprint, perlon. the first track, carnival, brings all the fun of the fair, a swirl of coloured lights barely glimpsed amongst the heaving throngs of somewhere like bar 25, followed on by an abstract slow burner which sneaks up on you with its sneezed vocal snippets and jangling bassline. talon, a real dancefloor creeper, clips along insistently and the final track, with its bass-guitar and pulsing synth line rounds of the record in perfect ethereal fashion. as akiko puts it herself, >deepness, depression, beauty, irony, fun - these are keywords for my music also my life itself<. you can definitely feel that there is much more thought put into these productions than just purely the need to move people on the dancefloor.

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

the recent time and space machine album released on tirk caused quite a stir. received by fans, press and pundits with a bright glowing prodigiousness, we just had to have one final foray into the 12 inch single department. the albums title track set >phazer to stun< was always a favourite with pulsating krautrock influences, nicely melded with some dirt cheap farfisa organ, freakbeat drumming and (of course) plenty of phazer.

after a recent short n sweet stint on tensnakes mirau imprint irish ex-pat mano le tough reemerges on internasjonal where he first saw the light of the day as a producer with the much acclaimed warhorn. yet even with such a rather small, straightforward discography mano managed to sculpture his unmistakeably very own style fusing the deeper shades of house and techno with a strong melodic sensibility that one would never even get the faintest idea to file it under the mostly bland tech-house genre. oblique boast a perfect effective dramaturgy with slighty spooky broken melody box theme rising out of a thick mist of grinding chords before morphing into a deep acid finale. french gentlemen of distinction and many styles chateau flight toughen up the beats and throw in some african wood percussions and sparse psychedelic dub effects for a superb rhythmically multi-layered rework.
