Being on stage is nothing new to him, but it's quite a rare occurrence that we witness Michael Mayer giving an acceptance speech instead of playing music. Too rare, thought German music hub Musikexpress and not only invited Kompakt's labelhead to play an after-show set for the Musikexpress Style Award 2013, but gave him a well-deserved award as "Best DJ" of the year as well. Congratulations, Michael! More info (in German) here.

Coming in November, "Justus Köhncke & The Wonderful Frequency Band" is Justus Köhncke's first major release since "Safe And Sound" and sees Kompakt's leading dance music troubadour finally return to his beloved full-length format. The digital single "Tell Me" gives crowds a mighty grooving foretaste of the new opus, serving not so much as an introduction to an already well-established sonic universe but as an warmly welcoming invitation to the party. Snappy beats, pop-infused hooks and an enticingly nonchalant attitude make this track the perfect disco bait, showing the former Whirlpool Productions member (see "From: Disco To: Disco") and producer of seminal cuts such as "Was Ist Musik", "2 After 909" or "Timecode" at his very best. The track's stirring synths are joined by slick vocals from Whirlpool Productions buddy Eric D. Clark who tops off the sensual thrust of this future classic in confident fashion. "Tell Me" is out now - check out the stream here, buy it here!
