Coupling contemporary production pizzaz with nostalgia-tinged soundscapes and sweeping melodies, this opus acts as both a skilfully composed portfolio of personal memories and a sublime collection of crowd-charming cuts - a modern classic in the making, coming from a master of his craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHot on the heels of SPEICHER 84 (KOMPAKT EXTRA 84), featuring club crackers DERDIEDAS and TWO BIRDS, the latest full-length offering from KÖLSCH is very much a travel album: \"When I was a kid in 1983, we used to drive through Europe every summer on the way to the south of France\", he explains. \"A lot of my early music memories stem from these long travels, as we would listen to all my father's favorite records on the cassette deck. After getting a walkman, I would make up my own soundtrack for travelling, with early electro and hip hop creeping into my life. My father of course did not like it, and it never grace the official cassette deck of the car, obviously\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese trips became a primary source of inspiration to a hungry young mind forced to sit on the backseat of a car for several days: \"they were also journeys through the seasons. In Denmark, it would be spring time, so I could nearly see us driving through spring into the summer. The scenery would change, and so would the mood in the car.\" Informed by the symbolic quality of these slightly gauzy childhood memories, KÖLSCH's unique melange of emotional and functional elements works exceptionally well for the full-length format - a seamless transition of musing introspection and explosve expression, where catharsis never seems far away in dance-ready techno vignettes like MOONFACE, UNTERWEGS or PACER.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom beatless opener and title track 1983 to the filigreed piano banger DIE ANDEREN or the bleep-infused synth-fest E45, each cut operates as its own little time capsule, storing bits and pieces of recollection and then magically transforming them into epic, beat-driven soundscapes. Confronted with other producers' input (and other memories), these traits find themselves extended in the most interesting ways - TALBOT, THE ROAD and CASSIOPEIA (also featured on KOMPAKT EXTRA 79) make excellent use of GREGOR SCHWELLENBACH's emotive orchestral flourishes, while BLOODLINE's lyrics come to life thanks to the distinct timbre of TOMAS HØFFDING of WHOMADEWHO fame. A new powerful take on an earlier collaboration, PAPAGENO 30 YEARS LATER not only rejoins WAA INDUSTRY on vocal duty, but also ends the album on a wonderfully elegiac, yet hopeful note - basically turning water into wine, as we've come to expect from KÖLSCH.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting \u003cbr\u003eA1 Kölsch 1983 00:03:50\u003cbr\u003eA2 Kölsch Talbot feat.

Inspired by the past yet resonant in its present-day relevance, the album’s sonic palette is reminiscent of Galaxie 500’s dream-pop roots, tempered with the matured introspection of Wareham’s later works. “Dean traffics in memory,” writes Fishbeck, reflecting on the record’s seamless blend of intimate recollections and catchy hooks. The result is a cohesive work encapsulating the duality of Wareham’s career: haunted by the past, yet steadfastly pushing forward. As Fishbeck poignantly puts it, “Imagination is nothing but the working over of what is remembered.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eSide A 1.

Each of us is proof”  Alice Walker, Hard Times Require Furious Dancing (2010)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnapped Ankles have given up trying to make sense of it all. The forest only offers so much protection. Feeding on a diet of fractured narratives, meme culture, viral moments and the very worst of human impulses weighs heavy. The woodwose hold up a mirror to the absurdity of modern life once again. The only sane response is to dance. Make your way to the clearing, gather around the megalith of speakers, drum machines, amps and synthesisers and dance like there’s no tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Times Furious Dancing is an invitation to all those lost in the unrelenting noise of the present, to leave it all behind and come together in the forest. Driven by the primitive thrust of their single-oscillator ‘log’ synths, high and low culture collide in a surreal, free flowing narrative - but the rhythm is universal. This is easily the closest Snapped Ankles have come to capturing their rapturous live energy in the studio. It’s everything you’ve come to know and love from a Snapped Ankles album, amped all the way up until the ground begins to shake. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sound of Hard Times Furious Dancing evolved at Snapped Ankles’ South London ‘Forest Rayve’ club nights in 2024 in response to that age-old primal urge to bring people together and make them move. It’s the first time the woodwose have road tested new material to this extent before committing it to tape since debut album Come Play The Trees, and in doing so have harnessed that feral energy once again. This surreal human\/woodwose connection is the very best release from an algorithm that knows you better than you know yourself.

Michael Lewis's Seven Deadly Sins is a hugely influential, synth-powered, atmospheric space-disco masterpiece. It's arguably the best American Disco LP ever made. It's certainly one of the most important albums in the history of dance music. And, like its innovative producers, it's absolute genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the mid to late seventies the production team of Laurin Rinder and W. Michael Lewis helped to define the Disco sound that was coming out of Los Angeles with studio projects such as El Coco, Saint Tropez, Le Pamplemousse (with vocals from The Jones Girls), In Search Of Orchestra and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of their work, Seven Deadly Sins comprises beautifully arranged and incredibly well produced deep disco that is revered by aficionados. A seven track, largely instrumental concept album covering each of the sins, it was recorded for AVI in 1977. It's a brilliantly conceived, groove-fuelled album that layers moogy keys and druggy synths over club-ready rhythms. The idea that this record is celebrating rather than condemning the sins is said to be another factor that made the record a big one in the underground clubs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening sin “Lust” is an intense, swelling, seven minute blockbuster synth journey. An ethereal Loft\/Garage classic, it's a sprawling, brooding slice of epic dancefloor dynamite that remains a firm favourite of discerning disco heads like Harvey. So ahead of its time, it still sounds ridiculously fresh today, drifting through a multitude of melodies over a smooth, lightly percussive mid-tempo beat. A slow-mo sexy killer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp next, the sprightly-manic “Sloth” is nothing like its title. A driving, swaggering instrumental incorporating the same Euro-disco elements as our Daft Parisian friends did a few decades on, it's certainly not for the faint-hearted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear highlight, the cosmic, throbbing proto-techno of “Gluttony” gets things firmly back on track. Pure industrial vibes with dark synth bass punctuated by uplifting melodic sequences that brilliantly utilise guitar and horns, is this the sound of Wax! Trax being born? You won't be able to get enough of this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening up the B-Side, “Pride” is a breezy slice of classic late seventies jazz\/funk with deft Hammond and clavinet grooves and expansive horn sections. It's absolutely fantastic. The wicked leftfield vocal cut “Envy” provides more disco pump with squelchy acid synth flourishes, funky guitar and neck-snapping percussive breaks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark proto-techno\/house cut “Anger” is a fully on top tour de force of drums. With heavy African percussion throughout and a short Afrobeat section towards the end, it was sampled by Carl Craig and Laurent Garnier for their Tres Demented project and was also a massive Ron Hardy \/ Music Box favourite. The album is rounded out by the hard-grooving “Covetousness”, another driving jazz-funk workout par excellence with liberal use of the syndrum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Laurin Rinder recalled in an interview with Dream Chimney, the duo essentially lived in the studio: “we really had cots, beds and the whole thing, we were just pumpin’ them out. 7 days a week, 3 different projects at the same time. I played drums on everything but had to play a little differently. I had to ask the engineer ‘What’s the name of this group?‘”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvidently, their prolific output was the result of a crazy cocaine-fuelled production schedule: “The amount of coke we did, to do all this, you can’t even imagine. $300 a day. I had to have plastic inserts in my nose so I could do more.” Looking at the frankly terrifying cover, you'd have never known! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe With is beyond delighted to present the first ever legit vinyl reissue of Seven Deadly Sins, carefully remastered by Be With's engineer Simon Francisco to ensure it sounds better than ever.

But this is so much more than a Daft Punk family curio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn Bangalter in 1947, Daniel Vangarde is a French songwriter and producer. In 1975, Vangarde founded his label, Zagora Records, who we have worked closely with on this lovingly curated reissue. For years, Vangarde wrote and produced songs that remained underground, under several pseudonyms and for various artists. Dubbed \"the secret father of French disco\" this here groove-fulled firecracker - using his Who’s Who moniker - is for disco-funk, library music and cosmic beat lovers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intense, evocative opener \"Palace Palace\" positively throbs with raw energy and sounds, honestly, like something off Daft Punk's Discovery. The title refers to the fashionable Parisian club Le Palace, essentially the Parisian Studio 54. \"I’d been to a nightclub in New York, a big ring where people were roller skating with a whistle. The atmosphere was great. The music was all disco. I made this song when I came back. A vocoder transformed my voice. Back then, it wasn’t used much.\" The track rides a killer groove and is deceptively complex, with layers of fantastic percussion and ace synth work going on all over it. Listed to on repeat, it's brilliance is simply undeniable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe louche, slo-mo heater \"Hypno Dance\" is, in Be With's opinion, *the* deadly dancefloor track. A svelte slice of ace space disco again geared towards the roller skating dance mania of the day. So deep, so disco, so instrumental. An unreal track and, as the title hints at, totally hypnotic. The side closes with the somewhat throwaway \"Popeden\" - it's a jaunty number that you're probably best skipping, in all honesty. Have we ever steered you wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-Side opens with the frankly enormous \"Roll Jacky Roll\" is another thrilling, high class roller-rink jam with beautiful melodies that's adored the world over. The wonky, abstract \"Ad Libitum 80\" is a super dope, swirling, staccato electro-funk bounce which sounds light years ahead of its time. This might be the real lowkey sleeper gem on this record. CHECK! This remarkable LP rounds out with the huge \"Dancin' Machine\". It's got sleek drums that emit an absolutely ace swagger and elements of Italo synth funk feels. A relaxed, slow rhythm throughout ensures you can't help but get your funk on when this crashes soundsystems. We'll leave the final word on this to Daniel: \"It amuses me to think that my son Thomas was influenced by \"Dancin’ Machine\" for \"Around The World\", he says. Both songs being based on an hypnotic repetitive refrain. Both songs being, of course, timeless pieces of Euro genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's Who really is a fantastic late-70s-early 80s roller disco-funk essential. The audio has been carefully remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring it sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it came to the sleeve for this we were presented with an unusual problem: we usually have to rely on an original sleeve as the starting point for the restoration, but instead we were able to scan the original 35mm transparency of the front cover photo. The problem is that with a modern scanner the results were far sharper than when they made the original sleeve.

After a six-year hiatus, the fourth volume takes \"Ambient Kayō\" as its new perspective, compiling genre-defying tracks released between 1977 and 1999 to explore the intersection of Japanese ambient and pop music. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor this long-awaited fourth installment, selections were made regardless of record label status (major or independent), era, format (vinyl or CD), original release price, or prior reissues. Instead, the focus was on music that deeply moves the listener, is open-minded and evocative, brims with inspiration and spiritual insight, and embodies the \"utagokoro\" (singing heart) of Japanese artists. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOpening the compilation is \"Umi e Kinasai\" by Yōsui Inoue, a legendary Japanese singer-songwriter whose works have recently gained renewed interest as hidden gems of Walearic and ambient pop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed and arranged by Katsu Hoshi—who is also known for his arrangements on Inoue’s masterpiece Ice World—the track features renowned players such as Masayoshi Takanaka, Hiroki Inui, and Shigeru Inoue. The song embodies a yearning for Balearic horizons, tinged with youthful vibrancy and sentimentality. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNext, \"Oritatamu Umi\", compiled from Keiko Nosaka, a 20-string koto player, and George Murasaki, a pioneer of Okinawan rock, is an instrumental track from their album \"Niraikanai Requiem 1945\". As the title suggests, it carries themes of requiem and remembrance, conveying poetic lyricism even without words. Blending Ryukyuan\/Okinawan harmonies and indigenous elements, it unfolds as an intimate and nostalgic piece of progressive rock. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlso featured is \"Natsu no Kowareru Koro\" by Higurashi, a folk-rock band led by Seiichi Takeda, formerly a guitarist of The Remainders of The Clover, the predecessor of RC Succession. Like the opening track \"Umi e Kinasai\", this song was also produced by Katsu Hoshi. It stands as a folk\/new music piece that takes a step into an \"otherworldly\" realm, recommended for fans of Twin Cosmos and Masumi Hara. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom the enigmatic Blue, the only work left by the mysterious composer S.R. Kinoshita, comes \"Mangrove\", a hidden treasure of Japan's ambient\/new age scene from the CD era. With an oriental and enigmatic atmosphere, the track evokes a mystical world of deep, uncharted jungles, unfolding as an otherworldly New Age Kayō. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Yaponesia Sakura\", selected from Rehabilual’s sole album New Child, is a masterpiece of Japanese new age music. Produced by Swami Dhyan Akamo, a disciple of Indian meditation teacher Osho and a renowned balafon player, the track features Michio Ogawa (Chakra) and Atsuo Fujimoto (Colored Music). Their collective artistry creates an exquisite spiritual ambient pop sound. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Asa no Hitoshizuku\", the opening folk song from Sachiko Kanenobu’s album Sachiko, is also included. Known for her legendary folk album Misora, produced by Haruomi Hosono, Kanenobu’s fourth album after resuming her career was inspired by her experiences living in San Francisco and revolves around the theme of \"love.\" This track carries the same intimate poetic world as Misora, imbued with a pure, crystalline innocence. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom the synth-pop band E.S. Island, known for the Haruomi Hosono-produced *Teku Teku Mami\", comes \"Yume Fūrin \", selected from their long-lost new age classic Nanpū from Hachijo. Created while the band’s core duo was living in Hachijō Island, the album aimed to sonically capture \"the high and happy vibrations of everyday island life.\" This track offers a dynamic, tribal-infused New Age Kayō experience. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDubbed \"the world's first Min’yō House Mix\" \"Esashi Oiwake (Maeuta) \" comes from Kanazawa Akiko HOUSE MIX Ⅰ, a collaboration between Japanese house music pioneer Soichi Terada and Akiko Kanazawa, a renowned min’yō singer. Through the prism of club music, Hokkaido's Esashi Oiwake, one of Japan’s most iconic folk songs, is transformed into a futuristic ambient pop piece with intricate sound design. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe compilation also includes \"Sweet Ong Choh\", a track from Voice From Asia, a group active between 1989 and 1992 featuring vocal artist Shizuru Ohtaka. Taken from their imaginative minimal work Voice From Asia, released under Aoyama Spiral’s music label Newsic, the song presents a tranquil, tribal-minimal soundscape enriched by ethnic instruments. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHailed by Haruomi Hosono as having “a shaman residing in her voice,” singer-songwriter Nami Hōdatsu also appears in the selection. Known for her collaborations with Henry Kawahara, her debut album featured \"Asa-Hikari-Ame-Yume\", a track that now stands as a precursor to modern vocaloid\/synthesized vocal music—a hidden gem of post-choir aesthetics that deserves rediscovery. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLikewise, \"Tennessee Waltz\", from Naomi Akimoto’s album One Night Stand, supported by members of Mariah, serves as another early prototype of vocaloid\/synthesized vocal music. The track weaves fragmented vocal samples, pastoral yet sweetly minimal synth sounds, and mechanical beats into a strikingly unconventional piece in the history of Japanese music. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing the compilation is \"Heaven Electric\", a track from Nav Katze’s album Gentle \u0026amp; Elegance, which featured remixes by Autechre, Seefeel, and Sun Electric. Merging elements of IDM, ambient techno, and chillout, the song embodies an optimism reminiscent of space music while seamlessly blending a mystical Japanese aesthetic—an ambient pop masterpiece. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracklisting \u003cbr\u003eA1    Yousui Inoue    Umi He Kinasai    00:05:29\u003cbr\u003eA2    Keiko Nosaka \/ George Murasaki    Oritatamu Umi    00:05:17\u003cbr\u003eA3    Higurashi    Natsuno Kowareru Koro    00:03:56\u003cbr\u003eB1    Blue    Mangrove    00:06:45\u003cbr\u003eB2    Rehabilual    Yaponesia Sakura    00:05:07\u003cbr\u003eB3    Sachiko Kanenobu    Asano Hitoshizuku    00:04:36\u003cbr\u003eC1    E.S.Island    Yumefurin    00:03:47\u003cbr\u003eC2    Akiko Kanazawa    Esashi Oiwake(Maeuta) (Virtual Reality Mix)     00:05:53\u003cbr\u003eC3    Voice From Asia    Sweet Ong Choh    00:04:43\u003cbr\u003eD1    Nami Hotatsu    Asa Hikari Ame Yume    00:01:53\u003cbr\u003eD2    Nav Katza    Heaven Electric    00:05:26\u003cbr\u003eD3    Naomi Akimoto    Tennessee Waltz    00:03:01\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio Mule","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44779260248220,"sku":"STUDIOMULE50","price":33.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/STUDIOMULE50.jpg?v=1739891478"},{"product_id":"reece-cox-liza-lacroix-love-s-song-limbo","title":"Reece Cox \u0026 Liza Lacroix - Love’s Song (Limbo)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: GGC2\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 4250101481635\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 28 Mar 2025\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Experimental\/Soundtracks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove’s Song (Limbo) is a collaborative LP from artists Reece Cox and Liza Lacroix. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 10 track LP is a release version of a 90 minute soundtrack composed by Cox for the occasion of two solo exhibitions by Lacroix in 2024 - the first at Neue Galerie Gladbeck, Germany and the second opening shortly after at Magenta Plains, NY. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn each exhibition the piece was installed within a locked closet and played at high volume as if emanating from the stereo of an inconsiderate neighbor, acting as an intervention and interruption into the visually dominant spaces of the galleries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack is produced from a mix of new and unreleased archival materials from Cox, arranged collaboratively with Lacroix to produce a varied and suggestive narrative arch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1    Reece Cox    01 Sleep 13    00:06:29\u003cbr\u003eA2    Reece Cox    A Red Mist (Alice)    00:07:04\u003cbr\u003eA3    Reece Cox    Loser    00:05:54\u003cbr\u003eA4    Reece Cox    Acoustic    00:03:59\u003cbr\u003eA5    Reece Cox    Final Breath    00:04:41\u003cbr\u003eB1    Reece Cox    Ecstatic White Silence    00:07:03\u003cbr\u003eB2    Reece Cox    The Institute    00:04:54\u003cbr\u003eB3    Reece Cox    Violet Loathing    00:05:30\u003cbr\u003eB4    Reece Cox    Alone    00:04:17\u003cbr\u003eB5    Reece Cox    Lifeline (Hold)    00:07:31\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Gisela Capitain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44779302125724,"sku":"GGC2","price":26.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/GGC2.jpg?v=1739892836"},{"product_id":"ida-engberg-marco-resmann-speicher-135","title":"Ida Engberg \/ Marco Resmann - Speicher 135","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: KOMPAKTEX135\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 4250101476723\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 21 Mar 2025\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Techno\/2 Step\/EBM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo new faces on the label with the two-faced eagle!
