The countdown to the opening of the 20 Jahre Kompakt Pop Up Store Berlin is well under way - starting this Saturday (August 31st), we'll combine forces with Ableton for a week-long series of workshops, performances and exclusive shopping at the Ableton HQ (Schönhauser Allee 6-7, Berlin). Things get seriously rollin' with Ableton co-founder Gerhard Behles and Kompakt co-founder Wolfgang Voigt presenting an exclusive public discussion lead by acclaimed journalist Tobias Rapp at 14:30 (local time), followed by a one-hour live act from The Field... don't miss out on this extremely rare opportunity to hear the master of looped bliss in an intimate venue. You'll then be treated to a presentation from our very own Gregor Schwellenbach, who'll talk about the sound of Kompakt from a composer's point of view - the man is well-known to be a highly entertaining public speaker, so you better get ready for some funky fresh insights. Last, but certainly not least, Ableton's Christian Kleine will get on stage, a seasoned musician famed for the collaborative project Hermann & Kleine as well as remixes for the likes of Pole and Bomb The Bass. Check out the full programm for the opening day here, and don't forget to head over to the Volksbühne Salon in the evening, where Gregor Schwellenbach will play a live concert with material from his "Gregor Schwellenbach Spielt 20 Jahre Kompakt" release - doors open at 21:00 (local time), tickets are available here. Finally, we have a jam-packed Ableton/Kompakt surprise gift bag to give away to one lucky visitor - just send an e-mail with your name to contest@kompakt.fm. We'll inform the winner this Friday evening, so he can reclaim his booty at the pop up store on Saturday. Let's get this party started!

In honour of Kompakt's 20th Anniversary celebrations, Boiler Room Berlin will host a unique event for the world to see - a live performance from Wolfgang Voigt. As a co-founder of Kompakt and with releases under countless alias over the past two decades Voigt is most famed for his work as GAS. These series of albums remain a benchmark in modern ambient music - The Guardian recently proclaimed GAS as "some of the most influential albums of the 90s". On September 4th Voigt will perform "Rückverzauberung", which was originally released in 2012 on the Cologne imprint Magazine live in the Boiler Room. "Rückverzauberung" is what he refers to as the sequel to GAS and has been rarely performed live. Voigt will release his new album "Zukunft Ohne Menschen" on September 2nd. Following Voigt, will be a live set from COMA - this Cologne based duo have had a great year thanks to the release of their debut album "In Technicolor". The night is rounded off with a rare DJ-set with both members of Terranova, Fetisch and &ME. Their recent "Painkiller EP" just had the remix treatment and will hit shelves on September 9. Boiler Room Berlin kicks off at 20:00 - Wolfgang Voigt (20:30), Coma (21:30) and Terranova (22:30 - 00:00). It all happens here.

Berlin-Blog Mit Vergnügen hielt einen Musikmittwoch mit Justus Köhncke ab, im Zuge dessen der Disco-Philanthrop ein paar Musikvideos als Reaktion auf verschiedene Fragen herauskramen sollte. Das Ergebnis kann sich hier sehen lassen und beantwortet tatsächlich so manche Frage, die man an den Mann haben könnte... der sich im übrigen zur Zeit eifrigst auf sein nächstes Album-Release vorbereitet. Mehr Infos folgen bald!
For Berlin blog Mit Vergnügen, disco philanthropist Justus Köhncke went through a questionnaire with a difference: he had to answer with some choice music videos. It's an entertaining effort (to be found here) that also allows us to allude to his upcoming full-length... more info soon!   |
