It's that time again: Cologne institution Kompakt return with their annual round up of what's hot in contemporary house and techno, featuring all the distinct hallmarks in harmony with the label's aesthetic - deep, intelligent and absolutely evocative. Rest assured that all the usual suspects appear - label stalwarts such as Jorg Burger, Jurgen Paape and of course head honchos the Voigt brothers. Elsewhere there are some regulars and newbies alike such as Aaron Ahrends with the bleepy dancefloor drama of "Eyes Closed", Christian Nielsen's deep sonar transmissions on "Cycle" and Lebsanft & Raquet with the soulful and lo-slung "Signale".
