Review: As its predecessors had done, this latest instalment in Kompakt's annual compilation series gives a good snapshot of where the label's at in the summer of 2011. There's the usual mixture of melodic ambient pop, techno club hits, shuffling deep house and expansive electronica, with familiar favourites (Michael Mayer's brilliant remix of WhoMadeWho, GusGus's "Over", Matias' Aguayo's lo-fi dance-rock groover "I Don't Smoke") being joined by a smattering of unreleased cuts. Highlights come thick and fast, with Superpitcher's previously unheard "White Lightning", Jargen Paape's dream-like "Pray" and Mohn's slo-mo wonk-fest "Tiefnatal" most impressing. If you're after a high quality collection of emotion-rich, cutting-edge electronic music, look no further.

Review: Given the immensely melodic nature of Taragana Pyjarama's self titled debut EP, released last year on the French label Fool House, it makes for little surprise that the Danish producer has been snapped up for a full album by Kompakt. Ahead of the release of Tipped Bowls, the iconic Cologne label offer a taste of what to expect in the shape of "Lo Ng" a shuffling, bleep infused track whose bassline reveals its ominous nature with something approaching zealous stealth. The percussion has more than a hint of latter-day Four Tet about it too. Complementing the album version are an Original Helter which strips back the groove to let Eriksen's melodic cravings shine and a live version that demonstrates how expansive the Taragana Pyjarama sound is when heard in a club.

Review: One of the tracks on the Icelandic act's latest album, Mexico, "Obnoxiously Sexual" gets twisted and turned into a variety of shapes on this remix release. At the epic end of the scale is Patrice Baumel's rework, with epic chords and wailing vocals transforming the original into a dramatic, tranced out affair. J Phlip's take is rooted in a different aesthetic with glitchy, fractured rhythms and dubby beats prevailing, while T-World's take sits somewhere in the middle of these sounds, its chiming hooks fused with clanking drums and stepping rhythms. However, the most impressive results come from Gluteus Maximus and ILO, whose versions feature punchy rhythms underpinning seductive woodwind, orchestral flourishes and dramatic brassy stabs.

Review: "Joker" was undeniably one of the strongest cuts from Gui Boratto's recent Abaporu full length, his fourth for long serving Cologne giants Kompakt. It's pleasing, then, to find it getting a deserved single release. The original - a breakdown-heavy chunk of progressive techno blessed with darting synthesizer arpeggios and tumbling pianos - is remixed by Dave DK and Michael Mayer. The former delivers a deeper, more atmospheric version, bristling with sinewy strings, woozy chords and sparse, bongo-laden percussion. It's Mayer's remix that hits home hardest, though. The Kompakt bossman reinvents the track as a chunky slab of wide-eyed rave revivalism, with Boratto's pianos and arpeggios riding a thrilling new bassline and cut-up electronics.

Review: In many ways, "Airwaves" is typical of GusGus's recent releases. Like the rest of the album from which it's taken, Mexico, "Airwaves" sees the Icelandic band offering a smooth, atmospheric and slightly melancholic fusion of yearning, deep synth-pop and glacial tech-house. It's deliciously tactile - like much of their catalogue - with Daniel Agust's vocals sounding particularly emotive. The real highlight of this EP, though, is the T World Dub Mix - a nine-minute foray into deep, dubby and immersive tech-house that makes the most of the original's woozy keyboards and enveloping pads. It's tough enough for afterparty plays, but light and dreamy enough for home listening, too.

Played by: Elijah Simmons
Review: Kompakt are the unchallenged masters of sensual, atmospheric electronic dance music with a poppy twist and new signing Elijah Simmons was clearly destined for this label. Apparently someone with something for star signs, "Pisces" is a sublime seven-minute trip featuring a cool, rolling beat with suspended washes of synth pads and flickering effects that drift in and out with hypnotic beauty. If you're still conscious after that, then "Scorpi" is the sting in the tail that'll wake you up; a slow builder that evolves from trance to snarl over the course of eight minutes.

Maceo Plex feat CAR
Played by: Juno Recommends Deep House, Pan-Pot, Djs: Most Charted - Deep House, Pleasurekraft, Resident Advisor, Tiefschwarz, Joseph Capriati, Sinchi Collective
Review: Tech house titan Maceo Plex makes the move to Kompakt once again after storming the German institution with the Conjure Superstar release last year. This time around he has some assistance in the shape of Car, and between them they shape out the seductive, moody tones of "Mirror Me". The track comes in two forms, with Car dropping some unsettling robotic vocal turns on the "Extended Original" version in a perfect channeling of electro clash posturing, while Maceo's own "Dark Dub" strips back the bulbous melodics and pushes the techno intensity up. Whichever mix tickles your fancy more, there's no doubt the Plex machine has once again delivered the goods for the big room experience.

Review: Legends of German electronica Terranova are back and showcasing their ever evolving style again for Kompakt. Munich Machine himself DJ Hell lends a remix to "Kepler 186F" which is a dark melodic journey track that will no doubt fit in with the current status quo of popular dance music with its humming bassline, pulsating 'whoops' and sharp synth leads. The Kepler remix of "Uchu No Inu" sounds like a dark version of Miami legends Murk or Funky Green Dogs: an anthem for the black beach perhaps? There's an acappella of it too which despite what it may seem, focuses on the sinister sound design of the track and will make an experimental DJ tool or one hell of a creepy intro track!
