Sales Information:

For a DJ like Michael Mayer, a track never just stands on its own – it's the context of the mix that gives it meaning, as it becomes embedded in the narrative arc of a grander scheme. With this background in mind, one quickly understands how the classy CHLOÉ REMIX of REBOTINI's cut CM got on the record: constantly moving forward, the piece certainly knows where it's going - but stays open for any sonic scintillation along the way. Originally from a 2009 release on Citizen Records, it boasts deceptively simple chords sitting on a tightly executed rhythm foundation - a perfect match for the powerful minimalist electro of the Black Strobe co-founder and Chloé's dark and sensual textures. The flipside sees the return of a well-known name in the Kompakt universe: legendary Russian producer duo SCSI 9 made quite a splash in the early Aughties, when a new sensibility for warmth and melody turned the ruling techno paradigm on its head - and ANGEL is a particularly atmospheric representative of that first wave of electronic 21st century blues. A cut brimming with hypnotic loops and dreamy textures, this operates as a mindful conversation between a few distinct elements brought together for a surprisingly cohesive result – first released in 2001 on defunct Berlin imprint Salo, it's a strong-willed and emotive piece of music that nevertheless keeps its cool, patiently waiting to be discovered for the right moment on the dance floor. That time is now.
