Kompakt

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.

Reinhard Voigt, a member of Kompakt since the early nineties, has played a vital role in the success of this legendary Cologne-based record label. Influenced by his older brother Wolfgang Voigt, Reinhard has developed his own unique sound in dirty, subversive (yet charming) minimal techno pop. His sought-after releases on Kompakt's "Speicher" project have brought a more radical dancefloor sound to the label. With tracks that find their way into various DJ sets, Reinhard Voigt is an artist whose music resonates with audiences worldwide.

The long-awaited return of a Kompakt pioneer is upon us: Reinhard Voigt finally presents new solo material with Rachanee - the first 12" release under his own name since 'All In' from 2007. Two impressive techno cuts jostle for a pole position in the frequency range, succesfully updating the artist's tried and true techniques for a contemporary crowd on the verge of blast-off. As far as first impressions go, opener and title track Rachanee already scores in the first few seconds, thanks to the inspired use of its hypnotic voice sample - a lesson in catchy minimalism, it's this undulating snippet that draws the listener in, followed by a stoic but surprisingly funky bassline whose sex appeal clearly lies in its simplicity. The cut's genetic make-up marks it as a kinsman to Voigt and Voigt's output - notably their versatile debut full-length 'Die Zauberhafte Welt der Anderen' and its use of found footage and collage aesthetics mixed up with enticing rhythm patterns. Flipside banger 'Tisch Fur Zwei' has a slightly different mindset, displaying a dizzying fondness for vintage synth grinding established by stone cold Reinhard Voigt classics such as 'How We Rock' or 'Supertiel'. A jacked-up reminiscence and masterful reappropriation of this traditional art of mind-bending, the swerving bleeps keep the beats guessing, thus ensuring the right amount of insanity in a track that exclusively follows its own rules. With this one, you'll never jump in the same river twice.
