Reviews & Discussion

Review by mjago85 May 10, 2008
Releases on Kompakt Pop have always emphasised quality over quantity. Ironic, since pop music is typically the other way around. What is aimed to be captured here is the most special moments in electronic pop, whether it be from inside or outside the Kompakt fold, and for the largest part, Kompakt Pop has succeeded. Adding to the pop nature of the label is the fact that several of the acts featured here have few other releases outside of their Kompakt Pop release; they are one-hit wonders, if you will. That said, this may actually serve advantageous to the label's status, with tracks such as Oxtongue's "Delight", Heiko Voss' "I Think About You" and Gui Boratto's "Like You" all easily going down among the greatest house tracks of all time. This is definitely one label to keep your eye on, even if it is only every six months or so.
