Your Fault - (6:48) 126 BPM Hot
Beskar - (6:06) 128 BPM
Review: Raxon returns to Kompakt following last year's Speicher 124 release. Since then, he has graced labels like Ellum and Cocoon. However, the tripped-out sounds that prevail on this follow-up release feel like they would only fit on the seminal Kompakt Extra label. "Your Fault" resounds to jittery percussion, stuttering vocal snatches and a lo-fi melody that floats seductively over Raxon's back beats. It makes for a wonderfully distinctive sound. "Beskar" sees him take a radically different approach. More focused on the dance floor, its insistent, pulsating groove and throbbing bass come together to house a murmuring vocal sample. It makes for a deadly effective club track and one that is sure to have a prominent place in Michael Mayer's sets.

Duration - (8:10) 127 BPM Hot
Review: Prepare for an exhilarating techno experience with Speicher 125, the highly anticipated split EP featuring the exceptional talents of German producers and DJs Barnt and Michael Mayer. This release is a part of the renowned Speicher series, which stands as one of Kompakt's impressive V/A serials. Designed to ignite the peaktime dancefloor, the EP showcases two mesmerizing tracks: 'Teller' and 'Duration'. Both compositions exude a minimal and intense energy, reminiscent of the captivating style found in later DJ Koze tracks and evoking elements of film soundtrack techno. In "Teller," Barnt and Mayer unleash a synth-driven storm that builds tension and thrill. As percussion layers up against an incessant buzz, the track takes an immersive turn, immersing listeners in waves of dense texturology. 'Duration' surprises listeners with an enchanting blend of organic bells and captivating beats, delivering an irresistible sonic experience.

Woohman - (5:41) 126 BPM Hot
Speicherband - (7:35) 127 BPM
Review: Kolsch continues his prolific run on Kompakt - last year he delivered four EPs and an album - with a blistering release for the Speicher sub-label. Powered by a pulsating bass and hollowed out drums, "Woohman" is laced with gurgling acid lines that guarantee the track reaches Plastikman-like levels of intensity, albeit in its own nuanced manner. There's a very different dynamic at play on "Speicherband": here, Kolsch conjures up a grungy groove that resounds to layered horn samples, with the arrangement breaking down unexpectedly before it resumes again on its shuffling path. It shows that despite his mainstream status, Kolsch continues to innovate.

Keep Flight - (6:10) 140 BPM
Rhythm Tension - (5:54) 130 BPM Hot
Fuga - (6:09) 135 BPM
Review: With releases on Intec, Rekids and Hotflush already in her catalogue, Anfisa Letyago is fast becoming one of techno's most respected new artists. As "Rhythm Tension", which features on her debut EP for Speicher demonstrates, it's not hard to understand the appeal. Based on a grainy bass and a steely rhythm, Letyago drops a looped vocal sample that keeps building as the track progresses, making for a hypnotic club track. Meanwhile, "Keep Flight" is more typical of the Speicher sound: Letyago uses a pulsating bass as the backdrop to layer frazzled synth lines, with this combination making for an irresistible slice of big room trance-techno.

Beyond - (9:08) 125 BPM
Review: Returning to Kompakt's side-label after two years, Marc Romboy shows radically different facets to his musical identity. While the German producer is best known for his rousing electro house sound, on Speicher 114, he delves much deeper. Clearly inspired by the dark bass techno of Suburban Knight and Joey Beltram's Code 6 project, "Stalker" is a dark, pumping groove, full of weird tonal blips and bleeps. On the flip side, "Beyond" sees Romboy deliver an even greater surprise. Shot through with haunting piano lines and mysterious undercurrents, it's like his own dance floor take on a John Carpenter horror movie soundtrack.

Forever Ravers (ANNAAss Raving In Space mix) - (5:29) 129 BPM
Review: Recent Kompakt signing Anna Miranda teams up with Miss Kittin for this frenetic, visceral ode to raving. In its original format, "Forever Ravers" resounds to a grinding bass, peak-time rhythm and Kittin's own unmistakable vocals about being eternal ravers. On the flip side, there's a fine reshape from Anna; the 'Raving In Space' remix sees her deliver a peak time arrangement, this time with wave upon wave of cold bleeps building up to an unforgettable climax. It's great to see Miss Kittin back releasing music, and Speicher 112 also provides the platform to showcase the production skills of her Brazilian collaborator.

Orust - (7:11) 127 BPM
Review: Between them, Florian Kruse and Julian Wassermann have released on high-profile labels such as Poker Flat, Stil Vor Talent and Sasha's Last Night On Earth, but Orust is sure to propel them to even greater heights. Issued on Kompakt's sub-label, it features the kind of shiny trance melodies that one comes to expect from releases on Extra. However, what really sets this track apart from others is the throbbing, pulsating groove, white noise builds and doubled-up thunderclaps. When combined, these elements add up to a dance floor killer that is sure to cause mayhem on underground floors and big rooms alike.

Pink Panzer - (6:32) 120 BPM Hot
Argonaut - (5:27) 130 BPM
Review: Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe aka Extrawelt follow last year's Unknown album on Cocoon with this killer EP for Kompakt's sub-label. In keeping with their trademark sound, both tracks on Speicher 110 are gritty and distinctive. "Pink Panzer" centres on a low-slung groove and dusty drums that provide the backdrop for searing, building electronic riffs. "Argonaut" is more pacy; the duo drop a bruising, stepping rhythm that's powered by a thundering bass and populated by wild, unpredictable acid lines. Both tracks underline Extrawelt's unique approach to electronic dance music and their appeal to a wide range of DJs.

Review: Italian duo Hunter/Game released "Silver" in 2016 as the lead single from the album Adaptation, which has continued to be played and supported in a timelessness that Cologne institution Kompakt strives to find in the music it releases. Fast forward to 2019, they now deliver their live mix of "Silver" that brings a whole new dimension and feel to their hypnotic techno masterpiece - led by its seductive vocal, slinky rhythms and entrancing melodies. Also featured his a handy "Silence Live Instrumental" for those of you you not so keen on the female vocal.

La Fleur - "Tears" - (7:36) 125 BPM Hot
John Monkman & James Monro - "Pesto Punk" - (7:22) 124 BPM
Review: La Fleur is on a roll; having worked with Sasha and completed an Essential Mix, she now turns her attention to a release on Kompakt's Speicher offshoot. "Tears" is based on a bubbly groove and tumbling drums, with a melody unfolding over these elements. If you listen close enough, it's possible to discern a vocal sample buried deep in the arrangement - marking "Tears" out as a truly evocative pieces of music. On the flip side, John Monkman teams up with James Monro for "Pesto Funk"; a slinky slice of tripped out techno funk punctuated by sonic belches, it's in stark contrast to La Fleur's melancholic approach.

Grace - (7:53) 126 BPM Hot
Puppets - (7:10) 127 BPM
Review: Patrice Baumel returns to Kompakt Extra, following his 2017 split release with Danny Daze and Shokh on the label. Like the rest of his back catalogue, Baumel's first release of 2019 is a melodic, uplifting interpretation of techno. "Grace" is a pumping, pulsating affair that resonates to waves of hissing percussion, with a central melodic riff that builds and peaks before dropping off again. On "Puppets", there is a similar aesthetic at play. The rhythm is slightly detuned and leads the listener through a series of glitch-led break downs before moving back on its way to an epic, melodic conclusion.

Dark Light - (6:15) 123 BPM Hot
Played by: Future Bones
Review: Kompakt Extra casts its gaze wide for its latest release by enlisting the services of Raxon. Born and raised in Egypt and Dubai, he now spends his time in Barcelona, the home of Sonar. On "The Ancient", which kick-starts his Speicher debut, he draws on his diverse background; the buzzing, searing central riff sounds like the a Middle Eastern droning chant. Coupled with a snaking, buzzing groove it is exactly the kind of frazzled techno one would expect to hear at one of the Sonar festival's beach parties. On the flip, "Dark Light" sees the emerging producer opt for a more malevolent approach, as an ominous, prowling bass underpins muffled vocal samples.

Review: Cologne institution Kompakt's longstanding Speicher series has had a reputation for idiosyncratic and powerful techno with clear dancefloor ambitions. Who better to take care of the label's next edition than label staple Rune Reilly Kolsch: the unstoppable Dane getting down with his immaculate, evocative and utterly majestic sound on the daydream fantasy of "Emoticon". His second offering here entitled "Little Death" is a fitting name for this brooding serving of dancefloor drama; powered by a seething sub bass, falling acid and enchanting choral arragments - you are definitely going to know this one when you hear it!

When I Am Only A Dream - (6:38) 127 BPM Hot
Review: Emerging artist Anna rounds off a remarkable year of releases - including an EP on NovaMute - with this second EP for Kompakt's sub-label. Like her fellow Brazilian artist Gui Boratto, "Remembrance" sees Anna fuse euphoric neo-trance hooks with a searing, epic bass and a stepping rhythm. The "Alt" mix is even more effective than the main mix thanks to its euphoric break down and wild, psychedelic build. The Barcelona-based producer shows a different side to her musical canon on "When I Am Only a Dream". Tougher and more stripped back than "Remembrance", it sees drop the kind of searing, acid-soaked minimal track that will slay big rooms and smoky basements alike.

Review: Kompakt's Speicher sub-label and Marc Romboy are a match made in tranced out techno heaven, so it is odd to think that 103 is his debut on the label. In any event, he wastes no time in representing what he and the label do best: "Galaxy in an Atom" is a pumping affair with tone-shifting melodies and pumping bass. It's like a modern, techy take on classic German trance and sounds all the better for it. On "Elektrisiermaschine", the German producer opts for a somewhat darker approach; channelling the sound of his Systematic label, he drops a mean, rumbling bass and razz sharp claps to create a real big room anthem.

Animal Print - "The Last Night Of Laura Palmer" - (6:46) 127 BPM
Review: Following up a powerful EP in the series' last edition by Brazilian superstar ANNA, Kompakt's Speicher imprint returns with more surefire techno to energise the dancefloor on edition 102. Longtime friends turned studio companions, Enzo Elia (of Balearic Gabba Soundsystem fame) and Musumeci join forces for the first time on "Gothic Safari" and indeed it's quite the nefarious journey, full of tension and suspense and perfect for dancefloor drama. Newcomer from Grenoble La Marine delivers the hypnotic minimal tech-house of "Flash," calling to mind the sounds of Dominik Eulberg or Andre Kraml from the mid-noughties. More mysterious faire awaits you on Animal Print's "The Last Night Of Laura Palmer" - a dose of brooding, Bolivian darkwave theatrics, borrowing from EBM, Italo and techno all at the same time.

The Dansant - (6:39) 126 BPM
Review: It was always going to be a hard act to follow the heavyweight line-up of label founders and main artists that featured on Speicher 100, but Anna has not been outdone. The Brazilian-Spanish producer's sound is at the harder end of what the storied Kompakt sub-label usually releases, but it's still of the highest quality. "Hidden Beauties" is a big room, acid-heavy workout powered by a grungy bass and massive break downs and builds. On "The Dansant", the mood is even bleaker; Anna drops an evil, belching sub that provides the back drop for rolling snares and a visceral, filtered riff.

Review: Kompakt's revered sub-label celebrates its 100th release with contributions from its founders and the artists who helped to launch it over 15 years ago. Label owner Michael Mayer kick-starts proceedings with the pulsating, tranced out "Lout", which eventually breaks down to tie-dyed melodies. On "Beatmesse 1 & 2", label stalwart Jorg Burger delivers a somewhat more reflective, hypnotic techno groove than is Speicher's usual fare, while Jurgen Paape rekindles the party flames thanks to the mesmerising "Whisper Echo" and the dreamy trance of "Rodeo". Blowing out the candles on this exemplary release are the Voigts, with their mid-tempo, cinematic groover, "Leise".

Durchdringung - (9:23) 124 BPM
Review: Brothers Wolfgang and Reinhard have decided to re-kindle heir collaborative project with impeccable timing. After a number of years laying dormant, Voigt & Voigt returns to drop the 99th release on Kompakt offshoot. "Sanfte Grusse" sees the pair fuse a rubbery, squelchy bass with eerie synths, dissected found sounds and some atonal groaning. It's a fascinating mixture of the earthy and the electronic but still packs a lot of dance floor clout. On the flip side, "Durchdringung" sees the pair delve into a much darker sound. The rhythm is stepping and hypnotic, but is buried under wave upon wave of grey noise and ear-splitting drones. It's an intense prelude to Speicher hitting one hundred.

Patrice Baumel - "Sorcery" - (7:09) 126 BPM Hot
Review: Almost 18 years on from its debut release, Kompakt Extra is just months away from notching up a century of releases. For EP number 98, Kompakt's club-focused offshoot has snapped up a pair of heads-down, late night delights. Danny Daze and Shokh join forces, laying down a pulsating chunk of trance-like dancefloor hypnotism whose power derives not from thunderous percussion (though the drum hits are solid enough), but rather restless arpeggio lines, spacey electronics and some mind-altering melodies. Then it is Patrice Baumel taking an altogether different approach, slamming down a formidably heavy chunk of bass-heavy techno wonkiness smothered in the sticky humidity of an unlikely jungle rave.

Locked Groove - "Dawn" - (7:17) 124 BPM
Review: Christian Nielsen is a surprising choice for the Kompakt Extra series: the label would say so themselves!. But they love to surprise your ears and have enjoyed, for some time, his 'outsider approach' to music. In particular with "Hard Times", a peak time melodic monster that bridges the right transitions for when you need it. ?Belgian artist, the Hotflush and Afterlife affiliated Locked Groove presents "Dawn", one of those magical tunes that loop along but evolve with every listen. Intricate drums balance well with lush, minimalistic melodies. The Speicher series is approaching its 100th release. Where it goes, only they know, so savour the flavour while it lasts. ?

Goodbye - (11:07) 123 BPM
Played by: The Yard Woman
Review: Kolsch's second release of 2017 is a big one. It sounds like the German producer has immersed himself in late 70s / early 80s sounds of synth pop and Italo Disco and has then brought those influences to bear on his big room sound. This is audible on the epic "Push", where a huge pulsing bass and percussive blasts underpin a moody but atmospheric synth hook. It is delivered with typically Teutonic sangfroid but is still immensely catchy and memorable. On "Goodbye", Kolsch changes tact; the arrangement is far less upfront, but despite this, atmospheric synths hang in the air majestically.

Review: Kompakt Extra also known as Speicher, is a sub-label of Kompakt Records dedicated to more DJ friendly techno than its parent label. For the 94th edition, it's over to one of the imprint's main artists in the form of mighty Reinhard Voigt. Starting off with his his brooding and steely remix of Berlin's Terranova on "Labrador" with its razor sharp and buzzy synths leading the charge, Terranova repay the favour with their remix of Voigt's "Husky" a dark journey track with trippy delay drenched drums and brooding hoover style synths creating some very dramatic mood lighting indeed. Finally Voigt goes out all guns blazing on the darkly energised peak time techno of "Wan Wan" which just goes to show why this guy, despite being not quite as famous as his brother Wolfgang: is still one of the stalwarts of the Cologne techno scene.

Review: Miami's Danny Daze has successfully sustained his career since 2011's breakthrough hit "Your Everything", the pop inflected house anthem which propelled him to stardom overnight. Fast forward to 2016, Speicher 91 for esteemed German imprint Kompakt sees his style develop and mature furthermore particularly on "Swim" a dark journey track whose simplicity and restraint excels marvellously. While on "Machine" things get a bit more ferocious, fusing techno, electro and house impressively with its mix of dark sub-bass, vocoder and rusty vintage drum machines.

Robot - (7:32) 121 BPM Hot
Review: Marius Maier makes his debut on Kompakt Extra with a two-track EP that embraces the sub-label's weird approach. "Fantasy" is set to a loose rhythm and rolling bass, which act as a basis for wave upon wave of discordant tones. It has echoes of Prins Thomas psychedelic take on disco. By contrast, "Robot" is much harder and more aggressive. It feels like Meier is following the noisy minimal techno of Kompakt Extra's mid-00s output, as waves of distorted synths bubble up like Sulphur over a menacing, growling bass. Not even the presence of a garbled vocal sample can detract from the sense of dread that "Robot" emits.

Danny Daze & Translucent - "Speaker Language" - (7:23) 123 BPM Hot
Review: It's fair to say Mr Danny Daze is enjoying a fine 2014 with this debut on Kompakt's Speicher series arriving in the aftermath of two superb releases for Jimmy Edgar's Ultramajic and Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio. There's a sense of prestige that comes with a Speicher release and the two powerful productions from the Miami-based Daze hint he's fully worthy of his placement in the Kompakt extra annals of fame. Lead track "Freeze (Frozen Mix)" sees Daze focus on detail, keeping the drum programming to a minimum so an accompaniment of synth washes, machine noise and muted horns can have full effect. Those wanting something a bit more marauding will be all over "Speaker Language" which pairs a powerful snare rattling groove with some treated vocals.

Goldfisch - (7:45) 124 BPM Hot
Zig - (7:52) 124 BPM
Review: Danish producer Kolsch delivers two slices of melodic, evocative techno that recall the heyday of this Kompakt sub-label. "Goldfish" is an anthem in waiting, its shimmering, mesmerising riff building and ebbing over a bass that pulses and growls seductively. But that's not all; midway through a cavernous organ riff kicks in, mysterious-sounding yet also deeply infectious, coupled with an insistent, cooing vocal sample simply intoning 'ooh'. "Zig" by contrast sounds understated, but its potential should not be underestimated. Underscored by tight drums, its bubbling bass leads into the kind of blissed out hooks that were once the preserve of The Field, that other great Scandinavian Kompakt affiliate.

Hick - (6:24) 123 BPM Hot
Hack - (6:39) 125 BPM
Review: The Speicher series is Kompakt's version of the anonymous hand-stamped vinyl release, and this spin-off label will probably be there when people get sick of hand-stamped techno releases. However, this comparison is only half-way accurate as Speicher is also an outlet where alternative ideas and concepts come to fruition. Hickhack, a new collaborative project between Weichold and Namito, is all about hypnotic, underground grooves. It's audible on the trippy, chiming bells and tonal blips of "Hick", all of which unfold over a throbbing rhythm. "Hack" meanwhile, is more stripped back, and sees woodblock beats supporting a looped, cut-up disco sample.

Nick Happner - "Ipso Facto" - (7:48) 121 BPM
Auntie Flo - "Sun Ritual" - (7:32) 126 BPM Hot
Review: The 72nd installment of Speicher marks the first release by Ostgut boss and Panorama Bar resident Nick Hoppner for the Cologne operation. Thankfully, his contribution has been well worth the wait, and "Ipso Facto" is a heavy, pulsing groove, where spacey synths wash in and heavy claps provide the basis for a series of more subtle bursts of percussion. It's the kind of woozy but robust techno and house that characterise Hoppner's DJ sets. On the flip, Auntie Flo aka Glasgow producer Brian D'Souza drops "Sun Ritual", a loose tribal groove, underscored by seductive, oriental bells and chiming guitar riffs - a more laid back alternative to Hoppner's approach.

Hawk Tone - (6:52) 121 BPM
Play My Mind - (6:01) 127 BPM Hot
Played by: Boska
Review: Scottish producer Andy Graham delivers two killer cuts for the Kompakt sub-label Speicher. The air raid siren on "Hawk Tone" is in keeping with Speicher's love of all things raucous and unruly, but the backdrop is different to the norm. While many Speicher records are unabashed in their dance floor intentions, "Tone" shuffles - albeit in a somewhat rougher manner - in a style more commonly associated with Kompakt itself. "Play My Mind" opts for a similar approach, but the mood is trippier, with distended vocals building against the backdrop of stabbing chords. Sei A has made a record that manages to straddle both sounds.

Synthesize - (5:54) 120 BPM Hot
Idolize - (7:35) 124 BPM
Review: The Voigt brothers' latest missive sounds like an ode to Kompakt's golden era. On "Idolize" they deliver a purring, pulsing groove that veers from the hypnotic bass and chiming chords into a trancey, blissed out climax. Unlike the soulless stadium variant, this approximation of 90s German trance is wide-eyed and evocative, harking back to a more innocent time in dance music. On the flip, it appears that "Synthesize" is going to follow a similar albeit more housey terrain, as hypnotic textures are joined with a disco groove and sensuous vocals, but then midway through, a buzz saw bass, like the Wighnomys at their most belligerent, kicks in to take the track to Kompakt's darker side.

Influenced by a range of music stretching from the 70s to today, his sound is ultra modern but with a clear appreciation of the past. Here, he fuses a rock-like beat with a minimalist disco sentiment to provide a track that sounds fun, fresh and interesting.

Review: A double header from Kompakt Extra, "Speicher 67" lets fly into breathless techno. Frenchman Maxime Dangles's "Bras De Zil" is raw techno that intensifies and then withdraws before Steve Moore takes us in darker, more menacing techno on his "Bayern Kurve." With plenty of energy throughout, this is one not to be missed.
