>that placid track< has been in the hands of some lucky individuals for some time now, making its way across dancefloors from berlin to new york, bristol to tokyo.
dark disco references are heavy throughout with a great use of strings licks, a slo-motion vocal sample and a classic cowbell keeping everything nicely in check. as with most of octobers productions though he still has one foot firmly inside berghainrendering this essentially disco track into something with more of a late night, broody edge.

after appearing on record for the first time as part of cologne tape (magazine 1), barnt now releases his debut on magazine: the ep what is a number, that a man may know it? is a hypnotic and free-floating haze, heavily influenced by the dance floor. few times before has the psychedelic energy of the 1970s been combined with techno house in such an idiosyncratic way.

following his remix of marco resmanns >i will love< feat. mz sunday luv we are now proud to bring you emerson todds first release on upon you. born in new zealand but living in australia his various releases on cocoon, get physical, dirty bird und modular made us love him and now hes bringing the goldrush to us. not only because his tracks are always stable investments in the tech-house area but also because the title of the a1 track eureka goes back to the days of the australian goldrush. but the other side of the coin isnt made of cheap tin either. counter point keeps on digging on b1 looking for the buried acoustic treasure and vertigo shimmers mystically on b1. if you listen indepth to eureka and counter point you will find some great vocals by mey.

ark has got an eclectic and organic sound, something in between. from his origins as guitarist in a number of 80s 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, belle lurette in 99. the alleluyark ep series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. his 2005 long player on perlon, caliente 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

in case you havent figured it out yet, kompakt loves tradition and as you know, we have had a longstanding affair with our beloved japanese producer extraordinaire hiroshi watanabe aka kaito. his 2009 full length trust (komcd74) showcased a deeper, more matured side to kaitos now classic sound.
so with every kaito album comes the custom - the beatless versions. that said, we proudly offer your ears and that was the way - watanabe effortlessly has brought together three of the lead tunes from trust through into the calm waters of his ambient bliss.
so you have and that was the way…kaito once again demonstrates his magic that goes on behind the beat.

deep & smooth soulful house from this talented producer! featured backstock !!!

we would like to welcome deep a and biri to upon you records. these two up and coming young producers from israel have sent us three jackin house tracks, which we know you will enjoy. wed had an eye on them for a while after hearing their tracks that they released for kammer, trapez and rotary cocktail, all the better that they now have another platform for their darker house style. on a1 we have barzilay a track that is dedicated to the club in tel aviv where deep a is a resident and salutes the vibrant energy of the city. b1 is wilder and more psychedelic. deepa & biri made a gem called emergenze that subtly pushes itself forward then rolls over everything in its path. hoya on b2 keeps the mystical suspense level up where it should be, and adds a bouncier tom-groove to round things off perfectly. shalom!

after his stunning debut on soweso 001, makam now returns with his hide you ep. a three tracker, with each track a character of its own. the title track hide you on a1 is a big club banger. a perfect example of simplicity and effectiveness. a2 brings us thank you a dirty and funky house affair that has proven to be a perfect last record of a great party. b2 hide and seek is a signature makam track with its strong filter groove and freaky effects. a timeless ep that we are proud to present

second release on the bounce by helixir on 7even recordings after his last digital dubby experience >xp dub / peace dub< in june! recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of french electronic music producers, the man from strasbourg is back this time with two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style.
>convultions< is a real dancefloor weapon, the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass becoming more and more insistent, the beats never stop evolving along the journey, the breaks hit your senses, pure badness from this ultra precise producer!
>let me drive now< brings you to a beautifully produced track through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres, somewhat akin to 2562s latest directions. a beautiful piece of music, tightly produced by helixir, who shows again his mastery of the studio and modern bass music.

for more than 15 years now, steve bug is known for influential track somewhere in between house, techno and minimalism. with his very good sense for the energy of self-limitation, bug has set standards when it comes to the funk of modern sound geometry, especially with his imprint poker flat recordings. milestones such as >loverboy<, >monsterbaze< or >wet n dry< are now essential elements of the history of electronic dance music. only a few weeks after the release of his fourth album collaboratory, bug even tops that one with this 12 inch on cocoon: while look whos stalking obviously refers to steves close relation to the raw energy of u.s. house in between chicago trax and detroit, using driving hand claps, percussions and nasty vocals, the flipside zero balance could pass as a vision of how far you can reduce techhouse to the essence of a bass line. also here, short vocal loops - besides the fast-moving elements - complete a sensibility that makes bugs tracks such high quality music for a very long time now.

azzido da bass, a dance music legend is back with another club banger. best known for the massive worldwide club anthem dooms night he has now hooked up with us here at coco machete records for the future electro house dance floor destroyer, i want u. digitalisms singer jence provides the lead vocals on i want u with a punk electro swagger. there are four mixes on this release, two original mixes, a remix by jence himself and a remix by istanbuls gooseflesh.
