Review: After a 17-year hiatus since his debut album, Call Me Killer, Heiko Voss returns with the remarkable 3:30 Minutes To Live - originally released in 2022 on Michael Mayer's IMARA label. Now, here come the remixes, so obviously titled as "3 Remixes for Heiko Voss". Running Back guru Gerd Janson lends his rhythmic touch to "Follow Your Line", steering it towards the vibe of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" with an infectious groove to captivate those bigger dancefloors. Next, techno pop grand dame ADA works her magic on the funk-infused "Talking Man", transforming it into sensationally soulful club track, while thirdly a potent Dub Version of "Follow Your Lin"" by IMARA and KOMPAKT boss Michael Mayer showcases the legend's golden production skills - breathing yet more life into Voss' work, affirming that good things do indeed take time.

Review: Kompakt's 23rd Total compilation fearlessly explores the dance music realm once again with a curated lineup that ranges from deep minimalism to radiant disco-infused tracks and more. 23 kicks off with Kollmorgen's moody and atypical Kompakt cut "Muddy" leading into the subtle chimes of Argia's "No Concept". Some bite size Italo pop comes via Michael Mayer's "Talmi" alongside a heavier Cologne-infused "Duration" made with legendary cohort Barnt, while there's some new wave to be found from Stephan Barnem & Futuristant alongside some genre-defying "Cinematic Dance" by Jorg Burger. Summer hits also come from Rex The Dog, and John Tejada who drops in with "Duration", before the compilation concludes with Reinhard Voigt's classic vocal and tone combi: "Endlich XXL"

Review: Eight years have passed since Agents of Time released their debut album, so this belated sequel - for the mighty Kompakt, no less - is well overdue. The Italian duo's sound has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving from deep, progressive-influenced style to something much more widescreen, epic and smothered in sci-fi sounds. Universo, then, is a grand and inspiring affair, with the pair flitting between rubbery, tech-tinged two-step pop ('Fallin'), throbbing, Italo-influenced synth-pop ('Interstellar Cowboy', 'Liquid Fantasy'), nu-disco/tech-house fusion ('Pulses'), trancey electro-pop ('Poison'), garage-disco ('Vocal Ghost'), and string-laden dancefloor journeys ('Dream Vision (Orchestra Version)').

Review: Following up the excellent "Blu" a couple of months ago, Southern Italian duo Agents Of Time are back on Cologne"s esteemed Kompakt Records with another electrifying adventure through future disco sounds on the suitably titled "Interstellar Cowboy". An eagerly anticipated release, this neon-lit vocal number has caused a huge buzz online the last several weeks, and we just know it"s going to be one of the biggest anthems over the forthcoming summer. Label staple Gui Borrrato from Brazil steps in for remix duties, in addition to a handy edit.

Review: Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based DJ and techno producer Raxon released Sound Of Mind in late 2021. Like many albums released during the pandemic, Raxon's debut album was a product of the unique social situation the planet has found itself caught within. Now we have some revised selections from the LP offered up here by German powerhouse Kompakt, with a new club version of "Exit Station", while "El Multiverse" receives a intensely cerebral redux by Japanese hypnotic techno merchant Wata Igarashi, and German minimal electro/'maximal' stalwarts Extrawelt get onboard for two renditions of "Droid Solo".

Review: Earlier this year Kompakt legend and electronic music pioneer John Tejada saw the release of his Year Of The Living Dead LP - an open letter to what life was like in 2020. As doors and dancefloors in some parts of the world start to open up again, so do the remix packages to help facilitate the zombies out there! Delivering a sweet and dusty groove replete with beautiful keys, chords and resonating tones is a lush Lawrence mix of "Panacea" (feel that clap track) next to a boomy, stepping and positively ominous remake of "Echoes Of Life" by Dntel. Plaid throw down an electro, IDM and dub techno-inspired session in their remix of "Abbot Of Burton", next to Tejada's own rework of "Sheltered". Jack it like a zombie.

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: Since the Kompakt legend's heyday, Michael Mayer's music has been few and far between, however when something does land it's to be celebrated. The interim between Brainwave Technology and his last single, Higher, for Kompakt comes through what Mayer has described as a deep dive into the thorny terrain of artificial intelligence, transhumanism and posthumanism. Inspired by reading German philosopher Richard David Precht and 'watching hours of YouTube material by self-proclaimed prophets', Meyer keeps on a deep yet light hearted and progressive tip in tracks like "Alpha", to the subtle "Device For The Young At Heart". Mayer throws in something rougher and perhaps slightly Aphex-inspired via "Gamma", with "Brainwave Technology" itself the obvious hit here with its Dirtybird-esque bassline and electro rave elements. Michael Mayer meets Lex Fridman.

Review: Take a wander over the storied discography of Egytian producer Raxon and you'll find a most intriguing career. Across 10 years Raxon has graduated with flying colours on labels like Ellum Audio, Drumcode and Truesoul to Diynamic Music and Audiojack's Gruuv - and intriguingly still is his contribution to Kompakt Extra. This seems to have paved the way for Raxon's debut album - Sound Of Mind - which sees the artist throw down a gauntlet of industrialised, melodic, minimal and electrified sounds. With detuned vocal effects across the LP reflecting a classic Richie Hawtin context, Raxon combines the heavy vamp of a bassline in "El Multiverse" next to some downtempo warehouse beats in "Majestic" alongside skippier rhythms and euphoric melodies in "Journey Mode". A super fresh debut album from a most trusted artist that adds to not only Kompakt's legacy but his own.

Review: Amsterdam-based duo Harm Coolen and Merijn Schotte Albers aka Weval present their debut album for Cologne-based institution Kompakt, following two widely acclaimed EPs for the imprint. This self-titled effort is not a mere collection of tracks, but a complete listening experience with organic flow, emotional heft and a narrative thread - all presented in their uniquely personal and catchy approach to producing dark electronic music. From the slow burning boogie-down mood of opening "The Weight", moments of introspective IDM as heard on "Are You Even Real" through to the subtle blues rock influence on the pop-inflected "Heaven, Listen" to the bluted trip-hop vibe of old on the chiller "Silence On The Wall" - these guys have a diverse style to express over these dozen awesome songs.

Review: Albums don't get more personal than The Fifty Eleven Project. Penned by Kasper Bjorke together with three of his friends - hence the quartet name - it's a musical soundtrack to his cancer diagnosis in 2011, followed by his treatment and recovery. While the Danish producer has said that it follows emotions both 'light and dark', it also contains moments where his fear of relapse surfaces. "Line of Life (Prologue)" and "Seminom Non Seminom" presumably represent the more positive side of Bjorke's journey, thanks to their beautiful strings and fragile synth lines. There are other, more brooding, tense pieces like "11" - possibly a reference to the year of his diagnosis - but in the main this is a celebration of life in the truest sense.

Review: New project Ghost Vision is comprised of veteran producer Thomas Gandey (Cagedbaby/Matom) and Danny McLewin: who is one half of Psychemagik. Their debut EP is best described by their label as as 'remote kosmische-indebted expanse .. hits close to the core with its deft mix of slow-burning spectral funk.' That being said, "Saturnus" delves deep into the cosmos, on this evocative and and psychedelic balearica affair. Second offering "Zuul Passage" is an excursion through the aesthetic of tunneling and cerebral slo-mo techno: as heard recently on labels like ESP Institute and Throne Of Blood - this will appeal to fans of acts exploring similar territory, like Karamika or Vactrol Park. Be on the lookout for an equally impressive sophomore effort on Berlin based Love On The Rocks. coming soon.

Review: Kompakt has always had a knack for signing the right record at the right time and this debut LP from Vermont aka Marcus Worgull and Motor City Drum Ensemble's Danilo Plessow is an absolute winner! The album is basically any synth lover's paradise, where sparse but rhythmic melodies glide in and out of foreboding tunnels and more docile landscapes. We're especially pleased with Plessow's impressive step into more experimental, Krautrocky territories and really putting his synth collection to work here.

Review: Once upon a time, ambient was one of electronic music's boom areas, but sometime in the late 1990s vanished up its own chill out room. In recent years, the sound has made something of a comeback - thanks in no small part to the efforts of Michael Mayer's Kompakt imprint. This latest volume in their annual Pop Ambient series showcases more high quality contemporary ambience, offering up glacial, atmospheric cuts from Superpicther, Magazine, Simon Scott, Morek and Triola. In truth, it's far more ambient than pop, but there's a certain Balearic charm to the sublime contributions from Marsen Jules and Loops Of Your Heart. The latter's "Riding Your Bikes" is particularly spellbinding.
