Kompakt

Profile:
By renaming Delirium into Kompakt in the beginning of 1998, it was possible to manage the problem with the confusing jungle of names, logos, store, labels etc. By giving a long overdue trademark and brand to the meanwhile internationally known Cologne minimal sound. Under the same roof as the already known labels Profan and Studio 1, Kompakt comprises not only label and record store. Due to the constantly rising number of newcomers and new talents and the necessity to offer the utmost freedom for releases of weird, experimental sounds, it seemed only consequent enough to found Kompakt distribution. Strictly following the motto: "From the creator directly on to the turn-tables", Kompakt Distribution supplies national and international wholesalers and retailers with freshly-made home-productions. Moreover, special care is dedicated to the comprehensive back catalogue that has been developed over the years.

The label is based on the Kompakt record store located in Cologne which nowadays also has a webshop. In the last years Kompakt also got the booking agency and distributor for various artists and labels. In 2005 Kompakt started an MP3 online shop for own releases and releases by distributed labels which was closed in december 2008.

Kompakt is owned by Wolfgang Voigt, Michael Mayer and Jürgen Paape.

Review by ToYKillAS Apr 18, 2008
The revolution started in '93, but the real evolution of electronic music is described in thirteen characters, "Wolfgang Voigt". It all started more than fourteen years ago, at a time where trance and acid ruled europe. Two years later something really big was set to happen, the creation of "(electronic) minimal music" what is (by kids) now often referred to as "mnml music".. In any case, who would have believed that "Studio Eins" would be the base of "the" electronic music standard. This article is written in respect of X people: Wolfgang Voigt, Jörg Burger, Jürgen Paape, Michael Mayer, Reinhard Voigt, Tobias Thomas.., i don't need to write them all because they know were they stand. THANKS KOMPAKT and welcome back Meister GAS..
Review by Zauberberg May 10, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
After long, disappointing years of boring electronics from late 90's to 2000+ (with only few exceptions), KOMPAKT comes as a true refreshment over the dying scene of ambient sound. Full of innovations, yet minimal but rather consistent and always reGENRErative; it is a true landmark of ambient techno in all aspects. Markus Guentner, Hiroshi Watanabe (Kaito), Ulf Lohmann and some other peoples music is deffinately something new. Congratulations!
Review by tweeclr Apr 23, 2003
Simply breathtaking ambient pop from Germany. Somehow subversive, but really easy to get into. This is the real future pop. Keep up the good work please!
Review by allengoodman Mar 13, 2003
One of, if not the most notorious German labels. Extremely prolific, but always consistent; the sound varies – everything from ambient to acid to hard techno.
Review by acryl Feb 09, 2003
one of the finest labels around these times, putting out everything from deep ambient stuff to hard bangin' cologne techno - and almost top notch everytime.
