otdxi is the newest installment in the classic r&s compilation series. previous installments have been responsible for rounding up the labels roster at the time and presenting their finest tracks to a wider audience, and have gone onto become classics in their own rights. with r&s again re-positioned as one of the most forward thinking electronic labels and with an enviable roster of cutting edge young talent it makes perfect sense to relaunch the series. disc one contains highlights from the last 18 months and includes contributions from blawan, lone and untold whose classic r&s influences are worn on their sleeves. tracks from james blake, pariah and the chain take cues from a distinctly uk sound, which the label has been keenly following from its new london base, and in cmyk have the biggest single from 2010.

repress blawan returns to r&s with a superb new single. twisted acid beats with a driving percussion and classic techno stabs

r&s finish off another excellent year with a brand new ep from james blake. his cmyk and klavierwerke releases for the label are widely regarded to be amongst his best work, and these three new tracks will further his reputation as one of the finest auteurs working in electronic music today.
this is strictly limited to 5.000 copies worldwide.

rivet puts a lot of effort in his sounds and his production. this is not another copycat. first out on the ep >amid the roar< is >metrist<, a sexy march that blends the stiffness 80-ties disco with techno from the future. on the b-side marcel fengler takes his turn on >metrist<. he keeps the string of the original, chops up the bass and creates a dancefloor monster with a big anthem alert stamp on it. amid the roar ends with what might be the strongest track on the ep. this ep will make us dance, of course, as always, with a bit of a kontra-musik twist.

doublepack of transparent blue vinyl featuring eleven tracks. a prequel to the debut album >welcome to mikrosector-50< due early 2012.

kompakt welcomes an old friend and new face to our fold. berlin based with parisian tastes, sebastien bouchet is groomed to be our most charming producer for the coming year. a regular in the dj scene for years now with releases for freak n chic and hypercolour, we bring him to our family with his first 12 inch single for us - >fallen angel<.

dutch house master mischa daniels made two brand new remixes of the all time classic track
