On March 1st, 1993, Kompakt opened the blue doors on Gladbacher Straße 36 for the very first time and thus, a new record store was born. Two moves, a name change, almost exactly 500 publications and a staggering 20 years later, Kompakt is still here and stronger than ever. That's why throughout 2013, Kompakt will celebrate 20 years of Kompakt in all shapes and colors, including this exciting jubilee 2CD release jam-packed with floor favorites, towering chart-toppers and secret weapons from the rich history of one of Germany's most-loved labels. Carefully pulled from Kompakt's extensive archives, this first entry in the 20 Jahre Kompakt Kollektion series is in no way meant to be a "best of": that would indeed be a task larger than life. Rather than just going through the motions and assembling sales numbers, Kompakt took a different road, simply compiling their proudest moments instead, classic records that defined their sound today. The resulting 2CD release already placed itself as one of the label's best-selling records in 2013, now followed by a vinyl edition containing Kollektion 1's biggest highlights. Kompakt crowd-sourced the tracklist to determine what was going to be on the vinyl. The massive bangers included on the vinyl edition of Kollektion 1 range from Voigt & Voigt's timeless anthem "Vision 03" to Justus Köhncke's floor epic "2 After 909," dropping in on Lawrence's legendary remix of Superpitcher's "Happiness," Michael Mayer's delicious "Lovefood" and Gui Boratto's magnificent "Arquipélago." You'll hear rare goodies and underground hits such as DJ Koze's "Mariposa" and his stunning remix of Matias Aguayo's "Minimal" alongside long-standing contributor The Field with his classic "Over the Ice," making for an expertly-crafted listening experience and an enticing trip to the past.
