Michael Mayer - Total 12 Megaset

2013 will be an important year for Coma: Cologne's purveyors of fine stomp are readying their debut album "In Technicolor" to hit shelves in April via Kompakt. Three years in the making, the upcoming full-length will feature guest performances from the likes of Roosevelt, Vimes, MIT and Ada, with its title already hinting at the newly found playfulness on display, or as Coma put it themselves: "Where our previous releases were kinda mirroring a foggy black and white movie, this is definitely a color film... our attempt at fusing diverse sounds in a more vivid manner, without falling prey to boring club conventions restricting the expressiveness of the music." Enjoy this free download of exclusive cover "Bette Davis' Eyes" and get ready for some hot synth action - Happy New Year!

It’s been a terrific year for KOMPAKT boss MICHAEL MAYER, who released his sophomore album “MANTASY” (KOMCD100/KOM250) - the eagerly awaited follow-up to his seminal album debut “TOUCH” (KOMCD36/KOM107). 2013 is shaping up to be equally busy, with an ongoing worldwide DJ tour, the label’s 20th birthday and now the premiere batch of “MANTASY“ remixes. “MANTASY REMIXE 1” is the first entry in a series of three, featuring a stellar cast sure to push any dance floor over the edge.

THE MOLE is well-known for his heavily sampled, organic loopiness having a special place reserved in nearly every DJ’s record crate, but this beat-driven remix of MICHAEL MAYER’s beatless masterpiece “BAUMHAUS” sees the producer refining his approach, as he takes the original’s evocative expertise to new heights of grooviness. It’s not just a case of “let’s put a beat in there and we’re done“, but a fundamental rework eliciting hidden properties and finding a new perspective on an already perfect slice of music. A personal favorite of many Kompakt aficionados, “Baumhaus“ finally gets the club treatment it so clearly deserves.
