Okay, you’re listening to the 23rd edition of Kompakt’s annual compilation series TOTAL… hold on… 23??? It’s impossible to look at this number without thinking of William S. Burrough’s Captain Clark anecdote, the Illuminatus trilogy and the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu. But don’t you worry, we’re not giving in to eikositriophobia. We’re enlighted folks, after all.

Total 23 kicks off in a disco mood with a well tempered double punch from label co-founders Michael Mayer and Jürgen Paape. Jörg Burger calls out a trippy new genre named Cinematic Dance before C.A.R. and Patrice Bäumel resurface with a club mix of their early 2023 single ‘Four Down’. Sofia Kourtesis’ sultry remix of Perel ‘Matrix’ finally gets a well deserved vinyl release. ‘Ice Cream Cake’ by Cologne’s newcomer M.A.P.E. helps cooling things down a bit before another debutante, Argia from Madrid makes her first entry to the Kompakt catalogue. Gui Boratto’s recent single ‘Drink In Paris’ raises the energy levels just in time for Reinhard Voigt’s ruthless closing track ‘Endlich XXL’, an ode to some of the best things in this world: Beer and techno.

Okay, du hörst die 23. Ausgabe der jährlichen Kompilationsreihe TOTAL von Kompakt. Moment mal… 23??? Man kann diese Zahl unmöglich betrachten, ohne an William S. Burroughs’ Anekdote über Captain Clark, die Illuminatus-Trilogie und die Justified Ancients of Mu Mu zu denken. Aber keine Sorge, wir erliegen nicht der Eikositriophobie. Immerhin sind wir aufgeklärte Leute.

Total 23 beginnt in Discostimmung und einem wohltemperierten Doppelschlag von den Mitbegründern des Labels, Michael Mayer und Jürgen Paape. Jörg Burger ruft ein psychedelisches neues Genre namens Cinematic Dance aus, bevor C.A.R. und Patrice Bäumel mit einem Club-Mix ihrer Single ‘Four Down’ aus dem Frühjahr 2023 wieder auftauchen. Der tropisch-schwüle Sofia Kourtesis Remix von Perels ‘Matrix’ erhält endlich eine verdiente Vinyl-Veröffentlichung. ‘Ice Cream Cake’ von M.A.P.E., einem Newcomer aus Köln, sorgt für etwas Abkühlung, bevor mit Argia aus Madrid eine weitere Debütantin ihre ersten Spuren im Kompakt Katalog hinterlässt. Gui Borattos aktuelle Single ‘Drink In Paris’ steigert rechtzeitig das Energielevel für Reinhard Voigts gnadenlosen Schlusstrack ‘Endlich XXL’, eine feierliche Ode an einige der besten Dinge dieser Welt: Bier und Techno.

The UK-based imprint Afterhours. are back with a new EP signed by Vlad Arapașu, the raw Romanian talent known for his former guise as half of the Dubsons duo and co-founder of the Algorhythmic imprint.

As usual, Vlad delivers three minimal stunners of addictive, groove-led sonic constructions cut for the most exquisite of dancefloors. Razor-sharp drum-programming, airy pads, obscure samples, and aetherial textures sit on top of continuously dynamic low-ends, making this a standout EP. "I Figured Out" is an EP capable of pleasing not only those familiar with the Romanian output but also those akin to genre-bending, ultra-reduced dancefloor stunners.

Vinyl Only

2023 Restock

Continuing On From A Series Of Successful Eps On Token Including Last Year's Ostinato, Antigone Returns To The Label With Rising, His First Experiment With The Lp Format. Rising Is An Album That Exerts Itself To Stimulate The Mind And The Body Simultaneously. As Such, It's A Record That Gives The Dramatic Illusion Of Having A Physical Pulse.

The Artist, Real Name Antonin Jeanson, Already Has A Substantial Body Of Work Behind Him. Considering His Previous Releases On Token, Indigo Aera, Concrete Music And Taapion, And His Experience As A Resident At Concrete In Paris, The Level Of Artistic Maturity He Possesses While Still Being Under 30 Is Highly Impressive Yet Unsurprising At The Same Time.

For Rising, Antigone Manages To Oscillate Between Great Ambient Introspections Carried By Spacey Synths And Deconstructed Rhythms, And Elegant Techno Epics That Are Suitable For Listening Pleasure As Much As For The Pure Abandonment Of Reality.

The Title Track's Delicate Arpeggios Meld Into Strings With Stirring Cadences, Delivering Above And Beyond The Standard Intro, As It Breaks And Continues For A Second Round With Added Depth. Sands Of Time Stands Out With Tiny, Breathy Samples, Pitch Bent Into Something Ever Different From The Last. Lost And Founds Granulated Percussion Sits Adjacent To A Cinematic Sea Of Strings, While Out There Provides A Tasteful Fragment Of The Sci-fi Reverence Many Listeners Demand Of A Techno Album. Duality Of Mind Hints Once Again At The Measured Moods Of Cantor Dust, His Token Debut Ep. It Follows Alludes To Supernatural Horror With Call-and-response Variants On An Almost Microtonal Theme. Infinite Limit's Tension From The Offset Brings A Uk-influenced Sound To The Record, Which Continues With The Idm-feeling Dume And The Equally Glitchy And Pulsing Love Field, While The In-between Irreversible Is An Immersive Piece With A Piercing High-end, Guaranteed To Induce A Physical Sensory Response

Never one to pull inventive punches, Left Coast electronic music producer Dave Aju reassembled this notorious cast of characters for a remarkably fitting album package made during one of the most strange times our world has ever faced in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. While things were essentially shutdown, reopened, cycle-repeat worldwide, and every other species in mother nature's kingdom temporarily rejoiced while humans remained still in their caves, Aju and The Invisible Art Trio, his formidable if not-seen-in-a-minute musical team behind such underground anthems as "Be Like the Sun", went to work in the final days of the glorious G-Son studios in Atwater Village LA to record this LP.

Indeed, the same four/five walls and vocal booth that saw the Beastie's iconic Check Your Head and Hello Nasty come to life, became the birthplace of Glossolalia, Aju's fifth studio album and appropriately impressive seven-song set. As always, myriad musical styles and influences are strung together and boldly combined here, to the degree that drawing comparisons or attempting genre references feels futile. There are, however, clear visceral expressions of political provocation, hope and anger, fear and joy laid over twisted yet dedicated grooves in a lockdown era where Aju's imaginary collective dance floor feels in the temporary absence thereof and bizarro sixth-world unification strategy of recording every song's lyrics in complete non-languages aka total gibberish, feels right at home. Even the vocal guests join in the literal chant here, granting us diverse spell-casting and sensual nonsensical lyrical lines over tech-funk mother lodes, before closing the otherworldly proceedings with a powerful grand finale tribute to the US of A's proud boys-in-blue in the wake of George Floyd's very public assassination.

Equal parts timely anti-establishment and uplifting call-to-action, Glossolalia serves as a decidedly coarse yet crucial reminder of the possibilities in collaborative and devoted noise-making, booty-shaking, and alternative world-building during greater global disarray - beyond stylistic, nationalistic, and linguistic dividing lines. An overtly universal and unifying message liberating us from any fixed cultural identities and thus differences, to instead just focus on how the music delivers and we physically respond, together, as the foundation. Perhaps also an inspired response to the talking heads in every corner of the world's media, spewing useless and politically-tainted mouth data at us amidst these turbulent times.

Fresh off the back of their debut label release with Archie Hamilton and Venda, Subsonic Music has delivered another sterling stripped back, dubbed out and groove based release from Australia's Dylan Griffin & Chad B including a catchy interpretation by the internationally celebrated master of minimal sounds Alexkid and an exquisite (vinyl only) remix by the critically acclaimed Monika Ross featuring her trademark groove.

no repress, no digital promotion

Anniversary 20th release of Whiteloops consisting of two bengers.

It's been 1 year since our last appearance, but we are back with a new series of releases, presented in 2 parts, that aims to take you straight to another dimension, where both your sensations and emotions will connect throughout the music.

For Part 1, on the A1, we are honored to have 100hz hopping on board the RawBeats family, one of the most respected producers in the game, with an 11min masterpiece that will make you dance from the first beat till the last.

On the B side we first have a deep and trippy track, made by Argentinian renowned producer Fer Mariño and one of Rawbeats creators, head honcho Juan Proeliis.

B2 comes all the way from the US, with another collaboration between two super good friends and artists, no other than Diego Santana and Pily who delivered a hypnotic masterpiece than can only be described as a real dance floor banger!

Repress!

We are happy to share some secret weapons by AOKI takamasa. A-side is full of swingy percussions, complex bass lines and proper grooves. For b-side master shares his vision of laid-back and trippy downtempo electronica.

Recut & Repressed

Support from Raresh, Petre Inspirescu, Cap, Barac, Praslea, Cristi Cons, Sepp, Lizz, Cosmjn, Arapu and more

The main focus of the Ep, as name implies, are the vocals, expressed differently for each framework of the 3 tracks.

A1 is a typical Costin's crunchy minimal bouncer where the attention is constantly drawn to the wide frequency spectrum covered by the processing of catchy vocals that perfectly dialogue alongside glitchy fxs, falling noises and bright and immersive melodies in an organic communication to get lost in.

B1 is a straight-forward banger with astronomical vocals that take you on an intergalactic trip into space between the solid bass line and the continuous swinging of frantic brasses and stabs in the lower frequencies and fancy shrill synths surrounded by sharp percussions and high pitched sounds in the higher ones.

Finally B2 is an introspective journey, where delayed deep vocals, extended pads and resonant melodies become hypnotizing, the bass-line is rough and the kick and the clap are woody, typical of a trippy minimal style.

Jay Tripwire’s innovation, broad musical experience and extraordinary
ability for storytelling through his compelling music productions are
brought to full display on our next pressed chapter, Ceremony EP.
This release brings you four deep tracks with groove-heavy
compositions complemented by eloquent textures and thoughtful
synth work.

Tripwire provides two ardent compositions of avant-garde mood
paired seamlessly alongside a crisp collaboration with Vuew
Recording’s main musical and visual curator, Ra.mod. The rich scope
of musical maturity displayed by Ceremony EP’s original tracks is
delightfully balanced with remix work by standout producer Melodie,
who provides his signature musical aesthetic filled with splendid
room-filling drums, evocative soundscapes, and apt compositions.

The EP’s title willfully describes the essence of the sound captured on
this record. Ceremony EP is a beautiful collection of timeless,
stripped-down grooves, grassroots swings, sophisticated rhythms,
ethereal sound design, driving basslines, and atmospheric melodies
perfectly crafted for intimate dance floors and late-night musical
journeys.

After a 3-year break, the Germany-based label Malonian is back. The label's ninth release comes from the Berlin producer Mental Carnival, who should be known for his Big City Jungle / Fresh EP on La Pena Shots.

This EP features 4 unique tracks that sound like the producer made them specifically for the dancefloor of the romanian Sunwaves Festival. Because that's where the idea for the label with the subtitle "Based on friendships which started in Mamaia" was born in 2014. As usual, the record comes with the label's typical artwork and full cover.

Popular DJs like Ricardo Villalobos, Zip, Margaret Dygas, Sonja Moonear, Raresh, Rhadoo, Petre Inspirescu a:rpia:r, Dan Andrei, Pralsea, Fumiya Tanaka, Barac, Fabe, Arno and many others are already playing this record at this summer's festivals & parties .

Spacebased Recordings 001 - Seafoam.

Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.

Dumitrescu is part of the new wave of romanian producers, young artists that started to search for new sounds, breaking ties with the “rominimal” stereotype, and we think that is awesome. You will find here a fine blending of house, electro, breaks and acid that will make you dance instantly. Two well crafted remixes by Mischa Blanos and Boyband, complete the LP, taking this whole release to another level. Ingredients: 100% bombs.
