Happy Birthday Kompakt


The biblically important Kompakt record label releases it's 10th annual Total compilation today. The Cologne-based label has been wildly influential over the past decade, nurturing the fundamental concept of techno and leading it to a more varied, more ethereal and ultimately more humanist paradigm. If ever you have found yourself lost in a thrall to The Field, Michael Mayer, Superpitcher, Jurgen Paape, Thomas Fehlmann, Wolfgang Voigt, DJ Koze, Gui Boratto or any other microhouse wizard, you'll enjoy this - a Pitchfork interview with co-founder Michael Mayer on the label's eccentric approach to electronic music. Don't miss the free mix: Michael Mayer: Kompakt - The Early Years (1998-2004). Huge.
