producer oliver ho aka raudive is not a dark horse. two years after his acclaimed abc ep he returns to rrygular with his new release >love is the devil<. straight and facing forward but also back to the roots somehow. that doesnt need to be a compromise. it is a symbiosis that works absolutely fine in case of this particular 2-tracker. like always the englishman knows how to use percussion elements without getting cheesy. a certain reference to electro is obvious but it underlines the typical dirty raudive sound rather than trying to be referential. but who needs genres anyway? club-disco-techno-house-funk-electro - some kind of monster!

5 years of systematic box (5x12 inch) + luna remixed (6x12) as a special bundle package

remember the days when large records gave us masterpiece. it was good! steaw is now in this house music definition. hipnotic keyboards, old fashion beatzzz, everything you need for real house headz listeners and dancers.
4 beautiful tracks from a incredible dj steaw on the incorructible qalomota records label.

something - a raw & pure monster of a track is not wasting any time for shifting layers or building up loads of unnecessary things. once the needle scratches the surface of the record > something< immediately unfolds its strength and power. thus, the suddenly emerging voice sample that sounds kind of scary easily creates an atmosphere like being morphed into a party of ghosts and dungeons going nuts while listening to this ultraphat hypnotic techno-tune from berlin. this track guarantees the full amount of peak time pleasure and sweaty walls inside the top clubs around the globe within the next months. for the flip-side freakshows 24th release delivers a very special remix version which does not need to hide behind the original. techno music veteran literon is contributing his creativity and production skills that he has been developing since he entered the scene almost 2 decades ago

for this first release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by legendary detroit producer : jason grove. born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or hell get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). we heard this story long times ago & it was only when we were in l.a. last year at pooh-bah record shop that we finally managed to get our hands on one of those tapes (one from june 1991 & the other one done in october 1992) with some of the best & incredible music we ve heard in years, it sounded like kerri chandler before kerri chandler did even start to release any tracks ! those first tapes are finally available after a hiatus of more than 15 years on vynil only (!)

this time they bring to the table 2 of the most rolling smashing tunes from the benefit camp. whats good about social music is that it has space and head room for you to mix the tune nicely in whatever way shape or form you choose. if you want to bashment switch it you can, or you want to use it for dd (double dropping) its there for you to do so or even roll out the mix. and the m.cs dont need to fight against the frequencies they can just do their thing without struggling.

selected advent deal - from the mind of erik! dropping the dopest tunes since 1987, erik is back on the radar in 2011 with these 4 brand new tunes! this gets every detroit party started and if you are not to stiff in the hips you will be shaking your ass on these crazy tunes. pumping 808, erik on the mic, silly ass beats, funky basslines... no hype break downs, no magic computer tricks... just solid rocking tracks the new old school way. what else do we need? all you got to do is turn it up!

after the success of their debut 12inch – the visions ep featuring james johnston, yse, tone control and basic soul unit – with support coming from the full house spectrum (including alex agore, brawther, danny tenaglia, deetron, ethyl, groove armada, red rackem and many more), its only natural city fly follow up their 1st release with a new ep to further showcase the deeper house sounds synonymous with their ethos. wanting to expand their vision yet stay true to their roots, for their 2nd release city fly are proud to present the ‘csa ep’ by creative swing alliance aka pablo valentino & steven wobblejay. not content in running faces records – featuring releases from simbad and danilo plessows motor city drum ensemble/inverse cinematics aliases – and releasing 12s under his creative swing alliance, kid swing and hipster wonkaz pseudonyms, pablo also co-runs the already iconic and buy-on-sight mcde imprint with danilo plessow and is an influential component in the label gaining notoriety and cult status with its raw cuts series – ubiquitous in many a djs set regardless of genre. steven has released records on compost records, soultronik & jazzmin under his moniker steppah huntah and played double bass for the japanese jazz band sleepwalker.

troy pierce is back as promised with an exceptional new ep on the items & things label he runs with magda and marc houle. voodoovoodoo is a four track ep with a remix by dead seal.

having launched blkrtz to wide spread critical acclaim with his album drawn and quartered in june this year, deadbeat now enlist the aid of two fellow berlin residents who need no introduction for remix duties. working with the source material from the first quarter, scuba dons his scb guise and turns in a slow burning sci-fi techno monster sure to appeal to fans of monolake and his own early work. rife with reverb drenched sonar pings and mechanized groans in the periphery, the track lurches toward its epic crescendo like an alien infested star ship nostromo sliding slowly to its demise into the center of a black hole. bringing things back up into the light on the flip, efdemin tranforms the fourth quarter (calas house) into a chugging deep pocket house journey. riding the cusp of a rubbery bassline and molding the chords into a timeless house organ motif, the originals dubwise leanings are heard loud and clear through a cloud of crackling unintelligible vocal samples and thunderous spring reverb crashes worthy of king tubby himself. without a doubt two floor ready reinterpretations and a great sign of things to come from deadbeats new curatorial ventur

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

panacustica’s fourth release is amongst cosmic metal mother’s finest work. “time is now” the track in question, defies definition by mastering a style on it’s own, by fusing elements echoing from prog-rock drenched with emotional content into an adult and contemporary way of delivering which is unique to the cmm writing style. the original is melancholic bliss. a vocal line at the center of the piece whispers words about oscar wilde and mr. death accompanied by a cello melody that grows bigger and bigger into an angelic cascade of notes. the track begins and ends in the most bare way with just a drum beat leaving you with the feeling you have just entered a loop where time is irrelevant. commodity place has the second cut of the a side. the duo from rome, known in the global underground of the vinyl tribes for their signature guitar style, chooses to call their mix “experience”, clearly paying homage to the gods of rock, delivering a guitar solo that will fire up your speakers and fill your eyes with the brightest psychedelic colors that we all so desperately need in this age of grey anonymity. the b-side is a full eight-minute mix by the man who needs no introduction and made us all dance since day one, larry heard, a.k.a. mr. fingers. his version is a fast “four to the floor” track, where a shaker drives the house beat into the melodic lines and voice borrowed from the original, making it one hundred per cent dance floor efficient with the modernity and mastery of his touch

various artist collection that includes a tasty track from tunisias khalil lajmi followed by another submission from the amsterdam duo duijn & douglas. on the flipside youll find label boss joe babylon and >issentec< along with macedonian artis denny trajkov with his dubby >miliz<. enjoy

limited blue vinyl! current value and donny need no introduction, bringing you an album that has been in the bunker for the past 4 years revolt & riot! starting off with the long awaited therapist vip, this album is a testament of the dark sound that moved the heaviest of grooves for dance-floors across the world. current value and donny relentlessly drop killer after killer in this assault on many levels. enlisting fellow stalwarts for the remixes and duo mixes: counterstrike, gein, & nanotek, the mash ups of dark classics like deadly algorythm & overclock have been bangin heads non-stop. revolt & riot is conceptually a statement from guerilla concerning global governments. getting world-wide dj support from tech itch, dylan, evol intent, limewax, submerged, btk, panacea, bkey, facs, dj hidden & eye d, lucio de rimanez, thrasher & more!!!

you may have listened to fred de f productions with recent dance artists collaborations (adi-ermane - need each other, fred de f & luke jeferson - sankukai). new release cloud is still marked with fred de f touch and a distingtive radioactif musical flavor.
fred de f original version is progressive, ultra-bumping, inspired from spanish soundings. the version releases body-heat and energy. great track for dancefloors. tom donax composes an aerial remix and explores a different universe: breakbeat soundings, vocal inspired from the nineties and presence of pads break the rhythmic bringing the record a nice equilibrium. cool version for a home listening.

fresh off the back of the relaunch record >interceptor<, by classics own luke solomon, comes the second release in the renewed campaign: >milk & cookies ep<. another slice of uber-cool-on-trend deep house music that shines with excellence and will no doubt bring a smile to music lovers faces across the world. four tracks all worthy of your time and devotion with an exclusive vinyl only track.

nice price deal !!!

flying donkey music, after the first two releases by samuel l session and kirk degiorgio got the respect as one of the new more interesting labels in the underground stream. as third release we can appreciate the homeboy claudio mates m2g4: he shows us something new and different, which is hard to catalogue, just a techno/house track or a simple piece of electronic music. tribute mix by claudio mate is a perfect journey in deep, dark, emotional, emotive lands within an amazing epic ending with guitars played by luca petrosino (an italian guitar talent). orlando voorn really doesnt need any introduction: his deep divine mix is the perfect mix and balance between raw grooves, melodies and solid bassline like his usual trademark. its perfect for dancefloor people who loves berghain or fabric. david hausdorf is a classical musician from the munich philharmonic orchestra but he is also well known for his old works on labels such as synaptic waves, styrax leaves, salo, lifetime music.

astroblack is a prime time techno / techhouse monster , flipside more for the house business .... no need to present tony lionni (aesthetic audio, mule, freerange, ostgut, mad house...) one of the best artists of these past years, able to flirt as easily with house as with techno. modelisme is very proud to release >astroblack ep<, proper underground ep in a typical detroit vein. astroblack on a side, is a pure black soul funky detroitish techno music, powerfull chords on powerfull groove, swinging drums patterns, where the essential duty is to shake the dancefloor. b side, proposes >i can show you<, very class beatdown track, could be related to some theo parrish imprints. sweet & tuff for a so sexy tune! >oceano<, is a subtle kick reduced floating & atmospherical tune, which shows his intellectual side of his music. thank you sir!

the cyh remixes vol.1 dont need a long explanation. with dj sneak & ian pooley two of the finest house producers of all time chose their favorite clap your hands track for their own interpretation. we are more than happy and proud to present the dj sneak remix of olene kadars >little miss dynamite feat. d-low< and ian pooleys remix of marcel knopfs >lone gone home<.

streng limitierte 10 inch ep als zweiter teaser-release des britischen soulman michael kiwanuka, der derzeit in uk von sämtlichen musikmedien als neues soul-stimmwunder gefeiert wird! top-retro-soul, produziert von paul butler von the bees.

ness became interested in electronic music in the late 90s. in 2004 he started djing, taking inspiration from various genres going from trance to pure experimentation. the interest in music led him to attend various courses and audio engineer for some years and the conservatory of his hometown. the need to express his emotions through music led him to experiment and research in recent years that better reflect his sound. since 2009 he founded his own label mono records with his friend bettosun, and releases music in labels such as prologue, sonata and varianz. the experience gained over the years leads to define his dj sets that are characterized by a strong array of techno and house at the same time.

the second mercury ep - and we dont need to introduce the guys anymore for sure. from brodinski, dj mehdi, a-trak to cosmo vitelli, ajello and matt walsh - the last mercury release and their remixes for made to play, kitsune, tom trago have been played by djs from all kinds of scenes. it seems the guys found the perfect formula for mixing soul, house and contemporary electronica in a way that works perfect on 99% of the dancefloors of today. and still: this is not cheap music at all. mercurys complex production and clever songwriting guarantee that you want to listen to this music again and again. now the guys strike back with an ep where its hard to choose the main track. play these tunes.. peaktime or warm up... people will scream and shout. especially - as always with gomma records - the girls will love it... hehe.

for this 11th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 3 fantastic trax done by todays hottest producers : massimiliano pagliara & rotciv. massimiliano p. has been responsible of delivering some of the best electronic tracks in those recent years on great labels such as balihu, rush hour, live at robert johnson & needwant. he teamed up for this special release with rotciv (from brazil) who made a name for himself with his special edits & has a very busy year with some upcoming 12 inches on d-edge, mister mistery & rebirth. their name is the rimshooters present >tha jackin theory< !!! heavily inspired by roland 909 chicago mythic drum machine, those guys deliver here 3 anthems, very close in spirit to tensnake & lee foss best work.. their sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80s r&b. with ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and 80s pads, their connection boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. those 3 tracks have lots of groove and solid bouncy disco house beats and that piano (mmmhhh !!!). vocals arent the main event here but they do add another level showing some true disco production skills. this is surely going to be one of the biggest release this year & yep, you read right - this is only their first installment! stay tune

vault series is a cheeky little series where rush hour drops never before released tracks and mixes from its vaults as well as tracks which are in dire need of a re-release.
the series kicks off with an unreleased track by the mysterious duster valentine. an anthemic disco track that, with its catchy piano loop, pays homage to the golden days of new york house music. music that will make you sweat!
on the other side we find aardvarcks fun-loving-freestyle-disco-mash-up-party-jam. its original release a few years ago saw support by many djs around the world. it was only released as a limited once sided promo. here is a chance for those who missed it to own a copy. this version is remastered and extended!

the dark defender ep delivers 3 great house to techhouse tracks from label boss oddvar. the titel track the dark defender is a driven techhouse monster with a catchy bassline and a significant vocal sample. better call saul is a pure rythm techhouse tune and dont need to shine is a smooth summer track with a really nice guitar line

so who wrote them, the rules of love? omar s and colonel abrams ask this important question and need your help to answer it - for science!

some may have thought the trail was cold, but battant (chloe raunet and joel dever) have just been running as far as they can. not running away from something, just keeping on moving. from the headless wave of their first lp, towards the strange shores of their second album, as i ride with no horse that is produced by its a fine line (aka ivan smagghe & tim paris) and will be released worldwide in october 2011. first glimpse: shutter. this is one of the many places where they now stand. a dry, sparse yet catchy romp. on their own edge (between early cure and meth country if you need ready made tags), electronics still dance in the corner, reigned in by the sharp its a fine line (tim paris & ivan smagghe) production. the live take of clearcut is what it says. ghosts in the machines, spookiness never in vain, this is a real song. the idea of a cover of westbam and nenas classic old school, baby had been in the mind of the team for a while. this track is a part of our history. not an easy tackle but we like to think they have made the anthem theirs. going beyond the anecdote, here is a seriously rocking wink with early support from optimo, james holden, tiga, chloe and more.

straight out the fucking dungeons of barnhusgatan, we are proud to present axel bomans debut ep for his home label, studio barnhus, co-run by kornél kovács, petter nordkvist and axel himself. europa, as it is called, is his first solo release since last year s holy love ep on pampa records. four beautiful house jams equally fit for the dance floor and your walkman infused with unexptected samples and crafted out of a versatile sonic palette. axel is proving to be one of the freshest producers around with his unique approach to house music that he shares with his studio barnhus label mates and producers such as dj koze and pepe bradock. according to prins thomas these tracks will make every pretty girl dance!

krasimir gyurov (vizar) has dealt with electronic music since 2000. his style is influenced by nature with hypnotic deep pads and mystic drones. in 2004 he made a contact with underground a netlabel scene and several years later he released his first eps for spanish netlabels offaudio and antiritmo. from 2008 he played on the biggest underground techno festival in his country bulgaria - artmospheric festival, where the guests were donato dozzy, brando lupi, dave twomey. ness became interested in electronic music in the late 90s. in 2004 he started djing, taking inspiration from various genres going from trance to pure experimentation. the interest in music led him to attend various courses and audio engineer for some years and the conservatory of his hometown. the need to express his emotions through music led him to experiment and research in recent years that better reflect his sound.since 2009 he founded his own label mono records with his friend bettosun, and releases music in labels such as prologue, sonata and varianz. the experience gained over the years leads to define his dj sets that are characterized by a strong array of techno and house at the same time.

back for his third release on hometown label thirtyonetwenty comes captain funktastic himself, william kouam djoko! if you have see him perform you know that this guy has the funk oozing through through his veins like a predatory viper going for the kill.
>cant lose my rhythm< takes you on a jazzy dreamscape, with of course all vocals are done by william himself which has become one of his signature trademarks.
>dazzling urbanite< takes thing a bit more down tempo, a perfect track to play when the first rays of light come shining throught the windows of the panorama bar.
last but not least we included remixes of the acclaimed classic >hard loving<, this time its kabale und liebe who does the honour, a name who doesnt need any further introduction!

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

the album also features a song co-written by agnetha fältskog. although she had composed much of her swedish solo output, the song disillusion , for which she wrote the music, is the only song released on an abba album to feature a songwriting contribution from her.

salz reworks dont need an introduction !! strictly ltd to 200 copies in a special handmade cover...

***vinyl only*** some of you might know nycs marcos cabral from his work as half the duo runaway. together with jacques renault, runaway has stacked up a slew of releases and remixes over the past few years. the labels theyve worked for include, dfa, rekids, wurst music co, chinatown, im a cliche, crue-l, mule, endless flight, need want, fina, solar disco, aus, under the shade, plant music, turntable lab, spectral, playout, permanent vacation, nervous, ohm, tartelet, and their very own label on the prowl. their resume is very telling of their musical abilities. this year, marcos has decided to push the envelope even further and create something a bit more personally reflective…his new label hamilton dance records. just as the label artwork foreshadows, the presentation becomes blurred. edits, originals, creative sampling, its all lumped together with a certain vision. special dance-floor tools being the most obvious

mother focus is their 1975 studio album which marks a departure from the progressive rock style that dominated the band s prior work, to a poppier, often disco influenced direction. it is focus last studio album that features the notorious jan akkerman on guitar.

big support van oa. bas mooy, dvs1, perc, tommy four seven, go hiyama, paul mac and many more... just before the summer hits, were breaking it down with a massive techno bomb from the subs of scotland. this time its the mighty forward strategy group which will be responsible for some serious damage on the floor. the squad which delivered some amazing tunes for perc traxx and recently did a podcast for clr recordings are now up for a true banger on dynamic reflection. on this ep they split the force and bring both their own solo actions. smear takes over with >inert<, tweaking his synths into phased edges with a phat groove on top. the >retail & leisure< remix is more subdued and trips away with a smooth acid bassline through the track. on the b-side the other half of fsg. patrick walker smashes down the door with a more darker groove. pounding kickdrums, dark rhythms and smooth soundscapes is whats his recipe is for >phase linear<. this will definitely hit the big rooms!! boex & miller breaking down the beat in their rework, which makes the perfect balance for this ep. all n all a superior release by these gents and remix heavyweights. lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come... dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

did you ever hear about christian strobe? no? hardly surprising, cause its a brand new solo-project by christian schnall, one half of disco trash music (maximal electro) and spruce (dreamy shoegaze). the german guy is musically rooted in the 80ies and early 90ies and as christian strobe, he combines airy new wave pop, retro-futurism with a pinch of house. the original mix of >midnight call< is full of magic, desire and an airy atmosphere, but still a simple pop song. the nightdrive version is recommended for nightly rides with your ferrari testarossa through big city lights. the italo-disco-pop-masters from codebreaker gives the original a funky french taste and reknowned keenhouse conjured a good-feeling remix with lovley summer-piano-chords. midnight call? you could name it sunshine call! in a more and more digital environment, the warmth of the analog vhs-tape version gives you the relaxing mood you need. the placid >lonesome astronaut< completed the debut-ep and takes you to a cosmic trip though time and space. stay tuned for the upcoming full-length album called >heartworks< in autumn 2011.

the fried tofu crew follow up their excellent first course with another tasty selection! on the a-side sweet soulful voices catch you from the first try on. but dont be hasty, or you will burn your tongue. this is hot and far from being a dessert. after the first impression of sweetness, you will feel the spicy taste coming through. we all love that slight burning on the lips, making you really feel the feel. the first cut on the b-side digs even deeper into sweetness. somehow everything seems to be so lovely, each time this one is played out. its clear that even the ruff guys cant resist the taste of honey. real sweet and spicy, thats how its got to be. things are straightened out on the final cut, which finishes off the meal with a raw funk jam. the extended guitar groove gets back to the basics. sometimes few essential things, combined in the right way, can be all you need. a typical mistake when preparing a meal is to add too many different spices.

the next coup by sirion records is from none other than one of the founding fathers, fedja haueter aka feodor and his fellows alex torriglia aka mo-tek and beni dossenbach aka balance. the trio, better known as vol-tek, has played a key role since the very beginnings of sirion s musical outpours and was represented in sr001 with a remix. numerous remixes and their own release sr005 - vol-tek - male & female are further to be mentioned. a part from sirion records the trio was represented at friends labels such as cristian paduraru or samy freshs augenringe records. but their next big thing is yet to come, as the threesome has been finishing tracks throughout the past year and surely need to be reckoned with in the future. the tracks after dark and conciliator are both rather deep, playful tech-house gimmicks, enriched with a bit of progressive.
