(Gute Luft) leaves a soothing emotional residue. Taken as a whole, Gute Luft sounds like a continuation rather than a culmination of Thomas Fehlmann's rich career. He's not out of ideas yet. In fact, they just keep getting more interesting.” – RESIDENT ADVISOR

“a blissful mix of Detroit techno and Teutonic dub” – NME

THOMAS FEHLMANN remains as one of the most endearing and respected artists on KOMPAKT. He has inspired generations of fans and musicians over the course of his 30+ year career. From his early days as part of the legendary band PALAIS SCHAUMBURG, and the pioneering Detroit/Berlin act 3MB (with JUAN ATKINS and MORITZ VON OSWALD), to his longstanding membership with THE ORB, combined with his contributions as a solo artist to esteemed imprints R&S, PLUG RESEARCH and of course KOMPAKT, where we have proudly released two full length solo albums: VISIONS OF BLAH (KOM CD 20/KOM 67) and HONIGPUMPE (KOM CD 59 / KOM 157), his musical works have been prolific, not to mention four singles and a full serving of tracks found on our POP AMBIENT and TOTAL collections.

Now, after 3 years, FEHLMANN has returned with his critically acclaimed full length GUTE LUFT - the result of months of work scoring the hit German TV film 24H BERLIN. GUTE LUFT is about re-tweaking and editing material from the countless hours of recording he had created.

It’s time for the remix treatment and we’ve enlisted two of Germany’s mainstay house producers to tackle Fehlmann’s music on GUTE LUFT REMIXE. Philpot’s SOULPHICTION is impossible to avoid in the techno/house scene and has come up with a submerged house rendition of “Wasser Im Fluss” that is absolutely levitating. Move D was so inspired with the album that he came up with 2 remixes that we weren’t able to decide on which one to pick so here you go with both. The guy has been gunning deep house for well over a decade and was the first choice for remix duties. His take on “Softpark” is drop deep gorgeous – key pads mingle just in the right way with a solid house groove. He opts for a more melancholic approach with his remix of “Berliner Luftikuss” (in respect to the original) – a physical bassline flitters with sonic raindrops creating a builder tune destined to bring full respect to the start of any DJ’s set.
