Review: Well, it's that time of year again when one of electronic music's finest labels presents another sonic soiree. Cologne powerhouse Kompakt serves up the 21st installment in their esteemed Total series featuring some the year's greatest hits and near misses, from their own roster and external artists but all curated in its distinct aesthetic throughout. Label staples such as Jurgen Paape appear with the balmy summer allure of "La Guitarra Romantica", label co-head Michael Mayer with the entrancing dancefloor drama of "Happy" and of course Voigt & Voigt on the paranoid afterhours minimal house of "Nicht Mein Job". Elsewhere, there's the ever reliable John Tejada making the mandatory appearance with the chilled contemplative beats of "Spectral Progressions", the always impressive Jonathan Kaspar being the label's best sound ambassador on the the deep techno epic "Von Draussen", the return of Gui Borrato on the glassy-eyed and bittersweet pop-inflections of "Wake Up" and newcomer Nicky Elisabeth with "Celeste" - which gets a slinky and hypnotic rework by the legend Roman Fluegel.

Review: The debut album of veteran Cologne-based producer Jorg Burger's alias The Bionaut has been reissued and remastered by local institution Kompakt here, 28 years on from its original release. Originally appearing on his Blue imprint, which he ran with the esteemed Jammin' Unit, 'Everybody's Kissing Everyone' is a classic release which took on strong influences of Chicago and UK acid house of the time, with nods to native trance sounds and some subtle pop connotations. These influences would go on to be more prominent in Burger's later work, under other aliases such as The Modernist or Trinkwasser. From the euphoric Summer Of Love vibe of the title track, to the Motor City energy of "A Man & His Dog Out For Air" and its syncopated 909 rhythms, or the uplifting vocal house anthem "Apples & Oranges" - there's no denying that this opus is a zeitgeist in German electronic music's history.
