Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

ferenc "zambomba"!

first stuff in a while that's really done it for me. riding out that distorted piano chord for all it's worth. and that twitchy bass comes in and jerks you around. classic classic.

Also, I listened to Trauermusik again a few days ago and have been listening to it over and over. Goodness gracious this song is enormous (and beautiful), I could listen to this all day. Awe inspiring.

Disovered this the other month. Wish it would get a repress:

GusGus will release "24/7" on Kompakt this summer

Let's make it official: we're more than happy to announce that KOMPAKT has signed GusGus for the release of the upcoming album "24/7" in July 2009.

The band has been working hard and as a result put together a supreme, state-of-the-art techno album. And, as you all know, friends need to see each other from time to time. That is why we have decided to invite GusGus to play the tenth edition of our annual parties on August, 14 here in Cologne, TOTAL 10!

GusGus "24/7" will be released on July 9th on KOMPAKT.

More info soon on KOMPAKT.fm - stay tuned!

fucken ay, was a bit late on this one but it's sensational.

Please, please please does anyone still have a mp3 of the JD Twitch remix of Justus' Timecode with the Lipps Inc vocal???

This is a disco emergency.

(as referred to a long time ago on this thread: Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei)

Dettinger returns on Pop Ambient 2010!

has there been another thread or has interest dropped off this much ... ?

@Tannenbaum Schmidt I have that mp3 if you still need it. Hit me up on AIM.

thanks reverend (you are the rev, right?) - i ended up scouring all my CDs and found a copy I'd burned. Been playing it out again now and then

(Don't know why I said Lipps Inc in my post above, when its Chic.)

what am i saying, it is Lipps Inc

I am not the Rev, i am the brother who loves dub.

will never make that mistake again, how embarrasing.

Loving Jatoma!

jess harvell's review makes that new robag wruhme mix sound rad

its a stunner, no dobut about it.

Robag Wruhne mix is awesome, it's got a bit of a 'Microhouse Allstars' feel to it but it gets to the sweet spot quickly and then stays there.

3a Ricardo Villalobos - Dexter 3:03
3b Robag Wruhme - Freggelswuff
4a Tiefschwarz Feat. Seth Troxler - Trust (Audion Remix) 2:56
Remix - Audion
4b Ricardo Villalobos - Dexter
5a Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Dead Room 4:32
5b Tiefschwarz Feat. Seth Troxler - Trust (Audion Remix)
Remix - Audion
5c Ricardo Villalobos - Dexter

It's mostly the beat from Dexter cycling through underneath track after track, although there's a fair bit of the melody on track 3.

Tell me more about what Kompakt has released in the last year that has been essential, please?

Strong releases (albums only):
Ewan Pearson, We Are Proud Of Our Choices
Jatoma, s/t
Superpitcher, Kilimanjaro (also get his RA podcast)
Michael Mayer, Immer 3
not heard myself, but read nothing but praise for Thomas Fehlmann's Gute Luft

Walls s/t album
Total 10 + 11
Pop Ambient 2010 + 11

Gute Luft is great, much like a distillation of his previous few works. A lovely listen. In addition to willem's list the Kolsch 12" is cool. Rainbow Arabia 7" is next purchase.

That Rainbow Arabia album looks tasty from the reviews, if slightly un-Kompakt.

Never heard of Rainbow Arabia, will seek out.

I totally forgot to list the Jürgen Paape Kompilation as an essential 2010 release!

It's not really an essential release if you have all the Totals.

I have all the Totals (well ok, I don't have #1. Which is why I went a bit nuts when I heard "Beauty and the Beast" sample in "How Great Thou Art". So great) but I still consider it essential for me personally. Plus I believe two/three tracks are previously vinyl only/unreleased?

The missing tracks are on this: http://www.discogs.com/Jürgen-Paape-So-Wird-Die-Zeit-Gemacht/release/2629891

The Rainbow Arabia album is great!

I made the most useless thread ever on them ages ago:

This Rainbow Arabia thing

Lonely, lonely thread.

Can anyone help me out on a track I.D. I have a couple of Kompakt mixes from about 2002/2003 where there is this great track which samples and tweaks the synth backing from this track: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x71c6_pdiddy-usher-i-need-a-girl_music

Any ideas?

was it schaffel-y perhaps? Synth is vaguely similar to Wasserman "Strasser"

Or I could be way way off

Thanks for the reply, but it's got a 4/4 groove.

I've made a clip from the set if anyone wants to hear it

This Robag Wruhme mix is fantastic, it's doing everything I wanted from the last Pantha Du Prince album that I didn't get.

So, no ideas on the I.D. anyone?

Maybe one of the early Traum records? It sounds a little like Philippe Cam.

Thanks, I'll do some hunting!

Kompakt Vocal, a Japanese release from a few months ago, is like a "Kompakt Greatest Hits: The Anthems" release. All stuff any fan of the label's sound would have but a nice little primer otherwise.

This Robag Wruhme mix is fantastic

John Tejada Parabolas is apparently out today. Loving the set of clips on Kompakt's Soundcloud. Half the album is instant classic, and the other half ain't half bad either.

Still looking to ID the track a few posts above. :D

How long has Tejada been on Kompakt for? Doesn't seem like a natural home for him so either he's significantly altered his sound or they're casting around all over the place now. NB I heart John Tejada and am looking forward to this.

kompakt debut, i think. really liking it, glides so nicely song to song. can't mess with the guy in terms of crystal clear, either, album just sounds perfected.

Okay it's not on Kompakt but it's Kompakty and it's pretty great. No 12" release which is a shame. The youtube has been pitched up which is a shame.

Shame Shame...

Total 12 is out next week, back to a one CD comp. It's got got Gus Gus - Over (Life & Death mix) on it. Nice.
