Record Label - Kompakt (off topic)


Not much live football apart from on TV tonight, so I am going to look at another record label that I have enjoyed in the past - Kompakt.

I had a ton of Kompakt stuff on my hard drive before it broke and I aim to try and get some of it back and hopefully make a mix tape.

Kompakt records were formed in 1989 and have a lot in common with the English label Warp. The Cologne based label, like Warp is famous for its minimal techno although it also represents other genres, it also works as a record store and distributor.

The label, which is home of 'the Cologne Sound', was formed in 1989 by legendary techno artist Wolfgang Voigt, Jurgen Paape and Michael Mayer. It is also the parent label for 2 of Voigt's other project labels, Auftrieb and Profan. There is also the Kompakt Pop label, which despite its name is often the vehicle for the label's flagship acts like Gui Boratto, where as Kompakt tends to specialise in compilations, although the Orb have appeared on it
