quête:r 88

House music ranging from grimmy to funky and melodic. These guys know which buttons they have to press.

A floor monster that keep all of CC's quintessential romantic touch but reshaping it in a different way this time.

freshly repressed!
With "Donnerkuppel" and its dramatically beautiful ethereal hookline Robag resets the focus firmly on the floor.

Its limited & handstamped & vinyl only ! The concept: just a drum machine and a synth - pure analogue dj-tools!

It's with the arrival of Looping State Of Mind that you finally realise that, for The Field's ambient techno explorer Axel Willner, the loop never stops. While fans and critics alike point to 2007's phenomenal debut From Here We Go Sublime - included in Pitchfork's Top 100 albums of the 2000s - and 2009's equally stirring follow up Yesterday & Today as standalone points of the Swede's music; it becomes clear that they appear as mere snapshots of what, for the producer, is a continual cycle of revolutions.

Endless Flight's favorite US artist Srategy finally returned with two excellent alternative house tracks!!

Underground House meets a dark and hypnotic atmosphere. Dj Jus-Ed is on a truly deep mission .

For their Summer Of Seven tracks Iso68 have, as usual, recorded many live instruments. We hear drums, guitar, keys, and brass, mixed into two tight tracks which unfold their addiction not at first glance. But after several plays the two pieces by Florian Zimmer (who also plays with the bands Saroos and Jersey) and Thomas Leboeg (member of Hamburgs Popband Kante) become essential beauties.

What a year 2010 was for Walls.. not content with signing to the prestigious Kompakt label, the shimmering shoegaze electronica of their debut self titled album went on to receive glowing critical acclaim including Mojo's coveted Electronic Album Of The Year (beating out Caribou, Matthew Dear and LCD Soundsystem no less), 4/5 in The Guardian, 9/10 in NME (as well as featuring in their albums of the year), iDJ, Vice and more superlatives from Groove, DJ mag and a host of blogs and websites.

TERRANOVA are hardly a new name on the scene. FETISCH, its
leader has lived on the international nightlife circuit since punk took
over London.

Rainbow Arabia have been one Kompakt's 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.

Onesided 12" with the extended ACTRESS Remix and a beautiful etching on the other side ...

A surprisingly unified fusion of classic psychedelic rock, Krautrock rhythms and proto-hip hop beats.

was für ein fettes ding, da geht was!! endlich ist der repress da!

Two massive hits from the past which have been brought back into the light of the day by Michael Mayer.

The debut release of swedish artist combo (he is half of s.u.m.o. which is well known as jazzy house artist in the beg of 2000)

finally repressed

Averse to any easy classification, Rainbow Arabia's continent-trekking, kaleidoscope pop is rooted in no particular time or place, employing modern technological processes to an array of musical cultures and eras.

We have a release by another amazing up-and-coming talent from Australia: NATHAN G! Nathan had a fantastic 2010, with huge releases for Miguel Migs' Salted imprint (88 Keys to Love) and for Large Music (No Limit, Inner Spirit). Here, Nathan delivers two stellar deep house cuts: Blur The Line and Diamonds In The Sky.

The title of this EP sorta says it all. It's quite an important release for the label. Glasgow musical connections all around!
"Theme for Great Cities" was originally released in 1981, an electro-trance-funk classic, pre-dating the rave scene by about 10 years. Naum Gabo takes it, electrifies it, and turns it into a hi-fi dancefloor filler.

vol.2 of remix package is done by norway disco king prins thomas.

New album is split across a series of 4 ltd 12" singles.

Classic second album re-issued.

Jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many.

This is the last ever album from legendary German rock quartet Scorpions. This new x12 trk album will be supported by a three year world tour, including UK dates. Strong press support across specialist mags including Classic Rock & Metal Hammer, with ads, features, interviews & reviews. Database & Ecard mailout. Specialist radio plays across ILR, Kerrang. Student & rock club promo. MTV vid plays across MTV2. National poster & flyer campaigns. Ltd vinyl format (500).

Kompakt welcomes an old friend and new face to our fold. Berlin based with Parisian tastes, Sebastien Bouchet is groomed to be our most charming producer for the coming year. A regular in the DJ scene for years now with releases for Freak n' Chic and Hypercolour, we bring him to our family with his first 12" single for us - "Fallen Angel".
