in its own way, speicher on kompakt extra has always been one of the most uncompromising series in the kompakt universe. starting out as a mere compilation series to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, it has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, with kompakt being able to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. thats also where we found the highly versatile sei a, native glaswegian, now residing in london and immersing himself in the hybrid house, firm techno and bass-heavy scenes that happily co-exist within uks capital. he is well known to paint vivid and emotional sonic pictures that touch on rather more considered house and bass tropes, prizing feeling over fads and staging an impressive balancing act between hardcore beat science and lush, moody arrangements. this 12 inch is no different, featuring two stellar examples for sei as stylistic reach, rave stabs included. welcome to the many-faceted party that is speicher

london based welshman chamboche returns to the label that launched him with the smoke screen ep. his unquantifiable sound swerves genre classification, hovering around house but with enough musicality to please the hardened disco head. swirling pads and a bubbling bass line set down the groove, while keys fall around horns and vocals to make the lead track a refined, uplifting work out. slowly unfolding, the track is hypnotic and absorbing, showcasing the style of a producer as able to work the mind as the hips. bicep toughen up the drums and work the arpeggio, stripping down the track and bringing the chicago influence higher in the mix. while the original subtly unfolds, their remix demands attention from the outset, building to a climax then recoiling for another bite at the cherry. thinking big, krl ramps up the intensity with a bright, kinetic reworking. aimed squarely at the peak time, he harnesses all of smoke screen’s most propulsive elements to really work the floor. tucked away on the b side is the expansive mind your mind. trademark chamboche percussion is woven around a blissful riff, swelling majestically to round off the ep in slo(w) burning euphoria.

march sees the formidable hypercolour deliver its most surprising output yet, an ep from none other than groove armada. tom findlay and andy cato need little introduction as groove armada. chart smashes, huge live tours and being part of the worldwide electronic music history aside, the duo have never lost touch with their acid house roots and have continued to be devoted to record buying, djing and the much maligned promo trawl. tom and andy have been avid followers of the label it seemed, since its inception. it was through label head jamie, meeting the guys back in 2010 at space in ibiza, and then continued communication via hypercolour promos, that led to an out-of-the-blue email requesting an informal hook up in east london and, within just a few days, a release was scheduled. that release is the >no knock ep<, four tracks that range from 808 fuelled old school cuts to low slung, moog-bassd electronic funk. each sound is lovingly crafted but there is an analog rawness throughout and every track has the sort of tweaked, off-kilter and occasionally awkward vibe that hypercolour do so well. it just takes a bit of imagination to guess what a ga release on hypercolour should sound but failing that, just check the release out as it wont disappoint.

brand new label london label features superb karl o connor remix ! new from london based upstart diagonal comes a four tracker of tough, skeletal rhythms from label boss powell. revelling in mechanical hooks, cold, brittle percussion and unfamiliar time signatures, powell pursues new modes of dancefloor dread but is unashamedly indebted to the past to: (amongst others) the propulsive funk of suicide, the linear surge of nitzer ebb and the uncompromising force of mika vainio. no wave new york remains more of an inspiration than bass-heavy london, as does the vision and encouragement of friend and blackest ever black owner, kiran sande. diagonal would like to thank downwards boss karl o connor regis for his love and support and, of course, for the bleak and brilliant rework he has contributed to this first release. thank you karl...
