RELEASE DATE
8/21/2007
Summertime at Kompakt means the release of the much-beloved
Total
compilation, and they're on number 8! This is the annual
Total
gathering/party -- a showcase featuring Kompakt's shining musical moments of the past year, plus exclusive music and a peek into what to expect from the label in the future. As many
Total
fans know, Kompakt remains faithful to the 12" single, and the
Total
series serves as a hook-up to many of these vinyl releases for those who haven't had the chance to keep up with the pace of Kompakt's steady stream of music.
Total 8
is the most diverse
Total
to date, marking a prominent return to the streets of Cologne and the musicians that were an essential part of building Kompakt's techno community. There is also a dominant presence of collaboration on both CDs -- a veritable family reunion in the Kompakt studios. After 10 years of silence, the seminal Cologne techno duo
Burger/Voigt
(formerly
Burger/Ink
of Matador/Harvest fame) return,
Michael Mayer
teams up with
Tobias Thomas
and folks get a sneak peak (disguised in a
Geiger
remix) of the first single from the forthcoming
Supermayer
studio album,
Save the World
. Yes, it's
that
Super(pitcher)
who teams up with
Jürgen Paape
as the surly
Boy Schaufler
. Then there's the man who makes the most appearances on
Total 8
,
Jörg Burger
, who, together with
Reinhard Voigt
, revitalizes analog groove as
Echo Club
. Firm Records chieftains
Schaeben & Voss
(feat.
Schad Privat
) make slap-happy bass music. Moving outside of Cologne to the UK, we find
Ewan Pearson
(producer/remixer extraordinaire of
The Rapture
) and
Al Usher
conjuring Kraut-disco bliss as
Partial Arts
. Off to France, where longstanding label fav,
Jonas Bering
and
Thierry Mbaye
come together as
Nightcats
with emo-techno like you've never heard before. There's also the ragga-bass-techno romp from
Broke
aka
Matias Aguayo & Roccness
. And bets are on that Stockholm's
The Rice Twins
will be a highlight for Kompakt's 2008 season as they are superb at creating emotive, blissful raucousness. But many of the highlights are from the solo-inclined as well -- take the tracks from
Oxia
,
Aril Brikha
,
DJ Koze
,
Rex The Dog
,
Steadycam
,
Justus Köhncke
,
Gui Boratto
,
Robert Babicz
and
Hervé Ak
.
Total 8
is a pilgrimage through the best that Kompakt has to offer.
