Kompakt is a renowned music label that was established in 1998. It originated from the transformation of Delirium, a record shop founded in Cologne in 1993. The label operates from its base at the Kompakt record store, which also features an online shop. Over the years, Kompakt has expanded its services to include artist booking and distribution for various artists and labels. Led by Wolfgang Voigt, Michael Mayer, Jürgen Paape, and managed by Jon Berry (4), Kompakt has become a prominent figure in the music industry.

With a rich history spanning over two decades, Kompakt has solidified its position as an influential force within the music scene. Its commitment to quality and innovation has garnered them widespread recognition and respect among both artists and fans alike.

As an esteemed label with *Kompakt* as their flagship brand, they have cultivated a diverse roster of talented musicians who continuously push boundaries across genres such as electronic, techno, ambient, and experimental music. Their dedication to curating exceptional sounds has made them a go-to destination for music enthusiasts seeking groundbreaking releases.

Pentagram is a varied full length that takes a leap in both Gui Boratto’s production and creative progression. From the driving club 1st single Forgotten, to the return of Beautiful Life vocalist Luciana Villanova with Overload to what could be his biggest pop music accomplishment to date as The Phoenix, there is a focus in his music like never before. Spur (a field-tested 808 and 909-heavy "purist track", "very, very old school" Boratto insists) and Alcazar are sheer smooth-edged four-to- the-floor epics, the album also shares its lot of startling moments, such as with the John Barry'esque Scene 2 (with a hint of Amon Tobin, 'Easy Muffin' style, throw in) and its refined string-laden buildup, 100% fitted for a 007 opening credit sequence; or with Hallucination (feat B.T.) and the further James Holden-ish title-track Pentagram (think The Idiots Are Winning).
