I just found some more info on K2 on http://www.mnml.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3874
For everybody who is interested to know what K2 is, here'ssome words by Michael Mayer about it:
K2 is a new Kompakt offshoot or better said a "retention pond" for so much great music we get sent by newcomers and established artists likewise. The mothership Kompakt's schedule is absolutely full with the string of albums to come and a few 12"s inbetween. What's missing is enough slots for classic Kompakt-style minimal techno ep's - which is unbearable for us...
There are already 4 releases lined up on K2.
1. Steadycam - Ding - Steadycam is a swedish newcomer. Ding is his first release and I love it! 4 tracks meandering between profan-ish sample-based minimal and kicking state of the art techno. Great discovery - if you ask me...
2. Hug - The angry ghost - Hug also releases as Huggotron and under his real name John Dahlbäck... Some of the best stuff he did so far...
3. Robert Babicz - tba - I played these two tracks on every festival and they are devastatingly good..
4. Gui - tba - another strong newcomer from Brazil!

Total 6 is so great. Mikkel Metal's gritty track, the wonderfully disco-y Paape track, Köhnke's excellent contributions - it's very diverse.

And speaking of familiarity, "Panic Room" sounds like the Kompakt track Richard Kelly accidentally left off the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

What would be the perfect release on Immer? Mayer: There are so many forgotten treasures... A perfect couple would be this one: I'm searching for How & Little "Legends" which got released on NuGroove in 1991. They disappeared when NuGroove went out of business. The flipside could be Portable Productions "My Technique", released in the same year on a tiny German label called Toxikk Trakks. Maybe somebody can help me out there?

(not that I disagree with Spencer either)

Are people listening to Kompakt records in clubs? Yes. Are DJs buying them? Yes. Are Kompakt DJs selling out venues around the world? Yes.
There isn't any point at which you can invalidate Kompakt's status as a dance label, no matter how many strawmen you erect who supposedly like the label.
You're just criticising Kompakt in exactly the same narrow minded way as a Kompakt fan who attacks a bigroom house label because it's music for pillheads or something. There's no difference between the two positions for me.

I'm also guessing that this bastion has an average age of about 28, which means that unless they were sneaking into Juan Atkins shows in 3rd grade (at best), their first techno experience came by way of mid-career Moby and The Chemical Brothers (nothing necessarily wrong with this, mind you, but let's be honest about things).....
