Welcome to the Kompakt blog!
Well, why hello there and welcome to KOMPAKT's first 'official' place on the world-wide web where you'll be able to get in one place music, recipes, stories and news about what is making us tick... we've been asked by the fine folks at RCRD LBL to let you know a bit about ourselves so here's an official blurb we have about KOMPAKT which should explain what we do here.
"Believe it or not it¹s almost 15 years since Kompakt emerged as a small record store in Cologne, Germany, uniting a collective of local musicians that included co-founders Jurgen Paape, Wolfgang Voigt (aka Mike Ink, GAS, Wasserman to name a few), his brother Reinhard Voigt and DJ/producer Michael Mayer. Today, Kompakt remains a community-driven business, expansion has allowed the record store to offer arguably the world¹s largest selection of electronic music, a distribution centre that houses over 60 exclusive record labels and over 200 others, booking agency, recording studios, the online shop KOMPAKT-MP3 and of course our Kompakt in-house record labels. Oh, and there's a kitchen, too."
Thank you for having us!
-Michael Mayer, Kompakt
