15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

on the flip, >progress< is a relentless techno cut with a raw analog sound and a mind of its own. finishing off the record is >your love<, a climactic and synth driven track in the spirit of early electronic dance music.

as an artist with already a lot of very successful material to his name, rodriguez jr.s debut album >bittersweet< is a highly anticipated release. there are in fact many reasons why people should hold their breath for it - an impressive 11 track body of work that features some of the well renowned and loved rodriguez jr. sonic traits, as well as a lot of new and previously unchartered musical ground. mobilee084 presents four of the tracks from the album on vinyl for all the collectors out there. title track >bittersweet<, >music dont lie feat. cari golden<, >massilia< and >bagpipe woman< demonstrate the breadth of musical styles that oliver mateau works with in this oeuvre, which is an honest reflection of the artist he has become today. it simultaneously presents techno, atmospheric dub, hypnotic, melancholy and hands down hedonistic music, and with a focus on exploring textures and moods, there is something here for everyone to get lost in. enjoy this teaser release, more coming soon!

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

split secs are alexandre mouracade & tk disko direct from los angeles, california. their name came out of discussion amongst friends about how anything can change in a split second and how much power and effect the smallest detail could have in any song. both fun loving long time djs and avid record collectors, they are putting their years of experience to work with numerous forthcoming releases on labels like on the prowl / nyc, smash hit music co., and much more to be announced very soon. their first ep is released on dj kaos imprint jolly jams out of berlin germany.

>whip it out< was originally released on the >twisted clones ep< by rodolfo wehbba and stephane signore on primate endangered species 017. it was an instant classic. 2011 is the year of the fresh new version by stephane himself and fits straight into the new technosound. remixed for your pleasure by nicolas clays and wyrus. and as a special treat for the collectors, the original is on here as well!

the brilliantly monikered big strick - familial elder to omar s and responsible for the odd killer release on his younger cousins fxhe imprint - belatedly sates the appetite of record collectors keen to indulge in his recent album detroit heat with a six track selection of the choicest cuts spread across this twelve inch. seemingly drawing influence from a myriad of motor city influences, detroit heat impressively flits between murky deep house, tracky techno and hypnotic jack-tracks. like many of his contemporaries, strick is a sucker for cement mixer production - that distinctly detroitian sound where every beat, groove or bassline sounds like the master tapes have been marinated in grit. that trademark sound, alongside a solid selection of floor-friendly grooves, makes detroit heat an excellent addition to the motor city house canon. the rubbery spinal atmospherics of >under tone< and the tony coates vocally assisted jack of >maybe 1 day< are particular highlights!

paulo olartes >mil anos< is a very southamerican lovesong, tearing appart all kind of barriers between generes, but still being so in love with electronic dance music and the functionality of it, that you cant just get away from it. the remix of >mil anos< is in charge of goldwill, you see it stays all in the family. a slow melancholic monster which grows and grows to catch you and never let you go. so no more words and enjoy this piece of acetate which has also a very special design for music lovers/ collectors. solo por ti.
