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.

Vermont is a classical violist and former longtime member of The London Symphony Orchestra (1954-1989). With a career spanning several decades, Vermont has established themselves as an influential figure in the world of classical music. Their mastery of the viola has captivated audiences around the globe, earning them a reputation for their exceptional talent and artistry.

Known for their emotive performances and technical precision, Vermont's music resonates with listeners on a deep level. Drawing inspiration from various genres and musical styles, they have created a unique sound that blends classical elements with contemporary influences.

Vermont's work has garnered critical acclaim and recognition within the industry. They have collaborated with renowned artists such as Gaussian Curve, Visible Cloaks, Jonny Nash, Suzanne Kraft, Mark Barrott, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Marcus Worgull, Danilo Plessow, Fort Romeau, Roman Flügel, WAHM (FR), Inverse Cinematics, Move D, Steve Hauschildt,
Albrecht La'Brooy , Mano Le Tough , Anthony Naples , Talaboman , Gigi Masin and Aera . These collaborations have further showcased Vermont's versatility as an artist.

Following their much-acclaimed surprise debut album Vermont from 2014, Motor City Drum Ensemble’s Danilo Plessow and Innervisions' Marcus Worgull reunite for more synth daydreaming on the suitably titled II. The new outing continues where the first full-length left off, strolling further down the luminous and undulating path that the duo turned into, influenced in equal measures by kosmische, krautrock, minimal wave and synth soundtracks. This latest batch of instrumental cuts opens with the strictly balearic vibe of Norderney, a softly swinging, light-footed recording with a keen sense for structure. Featuring a guest performance from Robbert Van Der Bildt (aka Kaap) on guitar, it’s a telling starting point for the album that - similar to Vermont’s self-titled debut - successfully navigates between economic, careful studio arrangements and playful, incidental exploration further pushing into jam session territory. Van Der Bildt's guitar returns on the plucky, curious Ufer, where Vermont showcase a renewed sense for jazz-like improvisation - same as on the cuts Dschuna, Chanang and Wenik which also include contributions from Dermot O'Mahony and Tadhg Murphy on strings. Still, Vermont's synth contraptions remain the album's main attraction, with the extensive array of gear encompassing an entire panopticon of analog bling - from Arp Oddysey and Moog Prodigy to Fender Rhodes, Juno and Prophet, list-studying gear heads will find lots to drool upon.
