nach 8 jahren ist michael mayer zurück auf dem mutterschiff

on a mission is exactly that, a mission of love, a mission of peace . the positive vocals hark back to those of early 90s house tracks, which created unity through music and clubbing. the rhythmic beat of the drum is determined, as percussive layers build and the vocals bleed into the synths. francois k provides two variations of the track. his remix features more prominent drumbeats driven by a growling bassline. on his rockers dub version, francois goes all out and dubs us into the stratosphere. up next is the michael mayer remix, with a more electronic take on the original with driving synths and a whirring, throbbing bass-line.

michael mayer. credited by many as one of the leading tastemakers in dance music, his dj sets have influenced a generation (or two) of musicians and fans out there today. an artist that has never allowed time or age to slow him down – michael mayer remains tirelessly motivated behind the dj decks, in the studio or behind his desk at kompakt, the company he co-owns and is up next on k7’s long running dj-kicks series.

dj koze comes up to task for the next re-construction of michael mayer & joe goddards for you, following up from the re-interpretation by diynamics solomun and pachanga boys. the maverick of flawless productions develops two narratives for this remix package: the first is a club mix composed of layered, floor-raising chords while ruffling up the original vocals gradually and elegantly. the second is a mbira remix, filled with african-inspired percussive inklings and sprinkled with effortless melodic flourishes. with two accompanying instrumental versions, dj koze takes us to the final curtain, closing the end chapter to michael mayers acclaimed & project.

third full length album from michael mayer. features high profile collaborators incl. goddard from hot chip. for fans of: michael mayer, roman flügel, hot chip, wolfgang voigt, audion, john tejada, kölsch, dj koze ...

for the debut of his newfound label ipso records, ko&#776,,,,lsch wanted to try something new. he has long been a fan of limiting himself in the studio. sometimes working with less equipment brings out the best in you, so for the first release i figured it would be interesting to experiment with this, ko&#776,,,,lsch says. inspired by the danish dogma films, he decided to make a rule, and as he is not one for overdoing things, the rule is very simple.

its the long-awaited return of a classic combo - michael mayer and reinhard voigt join forces for time is running

kompakts inner circle is closing the mantasy remix series. terrannova, juergen paape, j.burger & m.aguayo

after releasing his highly praised sophomore full-length mantasy (komcd100/kom250) last year, kompakt honcho michael mayer signed on some of his favorite artists to rework the album material to their liking. the second entry in a series of three, mantasy remixe 2 features grandiose remixes from accomplished producers agoria, robag wruhme and will saul & october markedly picking up on the originals thirst for adventure. seminal frenchman agoria certainly doesnt need an introduction to any self-respecting fan of electronic dance music, as the long list of worldwide floor biggies released by this unique producer indisputably proves.

first remix package with mixes by barnt, the mole and philipp gorbachev

following up his ep >string theory< on simple, julian october smith has teamed up with label head will saul, for >light sleeper<, aus musics final release of 2012. the ep comes with a remix from kompakt boss michael mayer.

it hass been eight years since michael mayer released his debut album >touch<, but one certainly couldnt consider him lazy, what with a tightly packed schedule of dj gigs and umpteen remixes. all the more reason that kompakt is pleased to announce the sophomore album mantasy, a long-awaited, indispensable update of michael mayers production sound and an essential release for the label in 2012.
pressing on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, includes cd-copy of the album.

from gui borattos latest album iii comes >this is not the end<, an indie minded track that convincingly demonstrates guis impressive skill set when it comes to emotional narratives embedded in a distinctively monumental context. like his timeless >beautiful life< and last years album highlight >destination: education< (already remixed to perfection by terranova and tale of us), >this is not the end< features the beautiful vocals of luciana villanova, who seems to know exactly what makes gui tick - which doesnt come as a surprise, as they are married – and possesses this rarest of all gifts, an unique voice that seems to address each listener personally. in his own 2012 mix featured here, gui doesnt so much concentrate on the originals tearjerking qualities (which were already fully formed), but streamlines the arrangement for ease of use on the floor of your choice, making the track even more refined and addictive. those of you looking for a slighty more adventurous approach will find their satisfaction with michael mayers rework on the flipside, where the source materials hypnotic qualities are brought to the fore, resulting in a masterful slice of catchy prime time psychedelica. with both mixes turning out to be instant classics, we can definitely confirm that this is not the end.

connan mockasins willingness to toy with the edges of musical convention is showcased to startling effect in >faking jazz together<, its typically opaque title belying a gorgeous, leisurely amble through an enchanted forest of lush psychedelia, complete with dreamy guitar licks, liquefied salsa rhythms and mockasins trademark alien vocals, sounding like a transmission from another cosmos, ghostly yet strangely affecting all at once. tom furse from the horrors, meanwhile, extrapolates the beats from the original and relocates them in a wide-eyed, sprawling dub epic akin to screamadelica-era primal scream, and renowned german producer (and kompakt lynchpin) michael mayer builds a propulsive, tropical-flavoured anthem around mockasins unusual vocals, with delightfully unpredictable results. even better, you can see connan mockasin in glorious live action this autumn, when he and his band embark on their own headline tour of the uk, playing dates across the country at the end of september. having already toured with warpaint in the summer, as well as scoring the first short film from acclaimed video director kinga burza, and collaborating with the idiosyncratic likes of charlotte gainsbourg and sam eastgate of late of the pier, it is certain that the eccentric pleasures of connan mockasin arent going to stay a cult secret for too much longer.
comes on transparent yellow vinyl.

kompakt has always been partial to belgium as they have been tremendously loving to us ... leading the charge of support have been our friends mugwump – the dynamite duo that comprises of geoffoy and the star of our show today – kolombo. we have had a great strain of releases with them over recent times and many will remember kolombo from a number of big tunes for turbo, vice versa and boxer recordings. kolombo pays tribute to the spirit of slo-mo belgian new beat with >waiting for<. a 105 bpm driven concoction of classic house, balearic disco lead by the voice of 80s pop maestro howard jones of his memorable hit >everlasting love< means yes, we have a winner!

after an impressive debut with thugfuckers >disco gnome<, life and death returns for round two as it once again gives us its slightly psychedelic after-hours take on dance pop. here it s with a remix ep that features two stellar remixes of danish band whomadewho. the first remix comes from tale of us, the young italian duo who were quickly recognized for their incredible remix of disco gnome and who are already being recognized as one of the most promising new electronic acts to come out of italy in the last 5 years. the second remix comes from michael meyer, a pillar of dance music and an outstanding producer who truly needs no introduction. with a dreamy voice and haunting melodies that creep into your brain and stay there until well after the lights have come back up, >every minute alone< seems set to establish the new label as strong voice leading the charge into new territories along the borderline of dance and pop.

head-turning singles >tuff enough< and >take em up< from marcus >shit robot< lambkins fantastic debut, from the cradle to the rave, get reinvented by two of the most talented dj/producers working in electronic music. on the a-side is germanys michael mayers epically inventive take on >tuff enuff<. less muscular than lambkins original, the remix softens things up by placing supple keys under the hardened exterior. the climax is an otherworldly listening experience that literally builds to take off. on the flip, john talabots remix of >take em up< starts like a laidback house party that builds just enough energy when its relocated under disco lights. the haunting opening — a swirling, ghostly blend of elliptical vocals and handclaps — leads to a sonic journey that is as smooth as it is wholly entrancing. this fantastic coupling of tracks is being produced in very short supply, so snap them up quickly!
