repress - gus gus aus island zählen ganz ohne zweifel zu den wenigen dance-acts, die sich seit mehr als anderthalb jahrzehnten kontinuierlich oben halten konnten. lange zeit waren sie beim legendären indie-label 4ad unter vertrag, nun erscheint ihr zweites album bei der superrenommierten kölner elektronik-plattform kompakt, wo sie im jahr 2009 als trio wieder zu hochform aufliefen. >arabian horse< ist nun zwar nicht minder elektronisch, aber stilistisch zwischen electro, pop, techno und soul deutlich breiter aufgestellt. obendrein markiert >arabian horse< die rückkehr des gus gus-sängers earth. ebenso wieder an bord ist hogni elisson von hjalatin. mit >arabian horse< ist dem isländischen kollektiv ein fantastisches album gelungen, das an eine fast vergessene Ära in den frühen 90er-jahren erinnert, als the beloved mit ihrem dance-pop maßstäbe setzten, klassische house-musik ihren kreativen höhepunkt erreichte und massive attack eine neue urbane soul-musik erschufen

arabian panther delivers here 4 strong tunes inspired by traditionnel arabic musics.

citizen records, run by the artist formerly known as vitalic, link with unique vinyl pressing service diggers factory to present a new ep from karabine, a fresh project from a seasoned french producer. the vinyl ep includes a download code.

jazz-improvisation, synkopierte beats und revolutionäre haltungen waren in der arabischen welt seit dem frühen 20. jahrhundert gegenwärtig. der rough guide erkundet die heutige lebendige szene und offenbart, wie durch die vermischung von jazz und arabischer musik schönste musikalische mixturen entstehen. das limitierte 180 gramm vinyl erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

d arabias first outing on house of disco is a sax heavy affair with 3 remixes from some of the best in the bizz.

from a lost australian electronic soul gem, to a cult classic: shahara-jas im an arabian knight has gained much momentum since its 2017 reissue, so much so that the egyptian lover reached out to the label proclaiming hed do a remix. the electro innovator who the original release appears to be highly inspired by seemed like a perfect fit for this sleazy late night groover. the result is 3 fresh mixes using elements of the original session tapes and the perfect touch of the egyptian lovers signature 808

this vibration is cast into new dimensions. liberating eros, it circles the globe, backwards and forwards, flowing to and through us. it is said the artist has a gift— suited for the erotic life of property.
on eros in arabia, richard horowitz channels this vibration and bends bandit sounds by pairing the ancient ney cane flute with the prophet-5 synthesizer. interspersed with other instruments and ideas, like echo delayed moroccan drumming and self-made magic, these elements deal in duality like the ever-shifting characteristics of the composer: the hollywood horowitz who scores films like the sheltering sky and any given sunday, and the morocco horowitz who founded the gnaoua festival in mogador, attended by 500.000 people every year.
the vinyl release includes a download code.

finally the third release for red rooster records. like the second one, we are talking about a various artists e.p.: minimono (fabio della torre and ennio colacci) is an italian duo born in florence in 1997. in 2008 fabio and ennio founded their own label -bosconi records- where they released their first album in 2010. now minimono works with robsoul records, vibraphone and other very good label from all over the world. dj rou is parts of the project called homequest, a real crew of artists made in bologna, we can also find his music on robsoul jazz, bosconi extra virgin or flexi cuts. memoryman aka uovo is one of the famous pastaboys, he has a long story that starts with the label manocalda, he worked with a lot of big artists from the main house scene and he did a lot of records with the bests labels. d’arabia, class 1991, is the owner of red rooster records and this is the third release for him, surely not the last.

netherlands finest, vando presents an excursions into deep and soulful microhouse and techno.

dope late 80s electro from melbourne. three mixes (including instrumental) of this nuts tune – serious recommendation!

this is a fresh new project based in bologna, italy. red rooster ep includes four different sounds with a logical framework. d arabia and dj rou (homequest) are two emerging artists that in 2015 began to share their skills in the same recording studio, the result is a groovy sound with a great energy. this is the first release for red rooster records and the future plans are to give us a lot of new emotions from a lot of new talented artists.

this is the second release of the obscure cuts series, curated by italian disco pioneer beppe loda. this ep sets us off on a magic carpet ride of middle-eastern-influenced italian obscure disco gems from the 70s. beppe loda is a great ambassador for the oscillator parties from which the label originates. tip! andrew mason (waxpoetics): beppe loda speaks, we listen

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

killer detroit infected dub techno ... incl incl. donor / truss rmx

cult combo hiem (crosstown rebels, eskimo,..) strike back with another epic stadium dance anthem - a must have!
tim paris marketing music label is back with hiem new single >freaky nights< complete with two remixes by the label boss tim paris and french dj / producer darabi of get the curse fame.

boys and diamonds is unmistakably a pop album but also one that comfortably fits in with kompakts long-standing lineage of genre-refracting releases. you will be hard up find another record that cohesively brings to mind siouxsie rubbing elbows with shabba ranks, giorgio moroder sipping daiquiris in bali, desmond dekker envisioned through skittering footwork, tom tom club sitting in with congotronics, even early madonna produced by chris and cosey. unlikely as all of that sounds, rainbow arabia makes it sound easy. mostly recorded at their home studio in echo park, muppet palace, boys and diamonds was written and produced by the couple with help from their friends in los angeles and beyond. drummer/producer extraordinaire butchy fuego (pit er pat, boredoms, mia) contributes arrangements and beats in places, and icy demons dylan ryan plays on the percussion-heavy island shuffle nothin gonna be undone . the album was mixed at the wonderful hobby shop studios in la by mudrock, who also adds some final production touches on the record. the 11 new songs on the album, were also made possible by the encouragement of peers/heroes in la like former ghosts, fool s gold, secret circuit, abe vigoda, and part time punks dj crew. outside of their hometown, they also found support and inspiration from kindred spirits like pictureplane, spoek mathambo, as well as their new home, the ever-illustrious kompakt

averse to any easy classification, rainbow arabias continent-trekking, kaleidoscope pop is rooted in no particular time or place, employing modern technological processes to an array of musical cultures and eras. the los angeles duo began with the purchase of a lebanese casio that played microtonal scales and eastern beats, with which they quickly recorded their propulsive first ep, the basta, synthesizing bossa nova and industrial post-punk with heavy middle eastern vibes. digging deeper for inspiration from the worldly found sounds of sublime frequencies compilations, their follow-up ep, kabukimono, expanded the color palette of their >fourth world< pop with dark, arabic disco-dancehall jams sitting alongside sunnier moments with caribbean and african flourishes...
