I was just wondering if any of you guys/gals on here were fans of this label. I remember a while back hearing that Digweed was into this label, but I always remember it from my minimal techno days of listening to Brinkmann and Mike Ink.

Do they really produce anything that would go down well on dancefloors? I really dug the minimal techno of Brinkmann, but don't think it would fit too well in one of my sets. Well maybe the beginning.

Any thoughts on this one???

Re: Kompakt

Checked a whole slew of their releases last time I was in a major record store, and made no purchases. Might sound bigger on a house system than headphones, but on the whole I didn't think they would suit a club night - more like a Holden mix CD.

Re: Kompakt

i have some rex the dog stuff on kompakt, i am a fan of alot of the music, but would'nt play it in a club environment

Re: Kompakt

Actually, there?s this Allen & Heath publicity I?ve seen in some mags where Digweed actually says Kompakt is his favourite label.

I also like a lot of their music, and I don?t see why it couldn?t be played in club...Superpitcher, Michael Mayer (very popular here), Wighnomy Brothers, Alter Ego...c?mon! Great dance music IMO.

Re: Kompakt

I Love Digweed Music!! :lol:

Kompakt a good label. I have some rex the dig and micheal mayer stuff. But I am sure any of it can be played in a club given what type of set it is.

Re: Kompakt

I play Kompakt records all the time in clubs. They destroy.

Re: Kompakt

Yeah, Kompakt have loads of tracks that would work in clubs (although obviously lots that wouldn't either).

Re: Kompakt

AMAZING STUFF MAN

really good, different stuff that either works in the floor or great to kickback at home

Re: Kompakt

I'll have to get back to their mp3 site and check it all out. It'd be interesting to have a few of their tracks to play out sometime.

Any ones in particular that I might look for?

Re: Kompakt

that's a quality label right there. reminds me of Hooj and how everything they put out was good.

Re: Kompakt

yes a large amount of there catalog would do very well on dance floors. but not the melodic prog dancefloors a lot of this board frequents. minimal tech is the shit.

Re: Kompakt

Kompakt is an extraordinary label. It has many quality releases from great producers such as Michael Mayer, Reinhard Voigt, Justus Kohncke, SCSI-9, The Orb, Rex the Dog and many others.

It's absurd to say Kompakt is not dancefloor-friendly. It all depends on the audience: it's quiet evident that an intransigent proghead won't dig it.

Other similar quailty labels that I'm very fond of are

I?ll add Klang Elektronik. Alter Ego?s "Rocker" is one of my top 5 tracks from the past 12 months. Mad shit.

You can sample and buy anything from Kompakt and other related labels at [url]www.kompakt-mp3.net[/url]

Re: Kompakt

i want hooj choons back. :cry:

Re: Kompakt

A lot of us do bro.

Thanks for the info about those other labels. I'm mostly fond of the old Plastikman stuff and Thomas Brinkmann and Mike Ink, when I think of minimal techno-house.

Thanks for opening my eyes a little bit more than they were.
