Kompakt

Kompakt is a renowned music label that was established in 1998. It originated from the transformation of Delirium, a record shop founded in Cologne in 1993. The label operates from its base at the Kompakt record store, which also features an online shop. Over the years, Kompakt has expanded its services to include artist booking and distribution for various artists and labels. Led by Wolfgang Voigt, Michael Mayer, Jürgen Paape, and managed by Jon Berry (4), Kompakt has become a prominent figure in the music industry.

With a rich history spanning over two decades, Kompakt has solidified its position as an influential force within the music scene. Its commitment to quality and innovation has garnered them widespread recognition and respect among both artists and fans alike.

As an esteemed label with *Kompakt* as their flagship brand, they have cultivated a diverse roster of talented musicians who continuously push boundaries across genres such as electronic, techno, ambient, and experimental music. Their dedication to curating exceptional sounds has made them a go-to destination for music enthusiasts seeking groundbreaking releases.

Matias Aguayo is a German/Chilean techno music producer, DJ, and live-act artist. Born in 1973 in Santiago de Chile, he has made a significant impact on the electronic music scene. With his unique blend of techno beats and Latin American influences, Aguayo has gained recognition worldwide.
Aguayo is not only known for his own musical creations but also for being the founder and director of *l149918* label. Through this platform, he has nurtured and promoted emerging talents in the industry.
Influenced by artists such as *Jürgen Paape*, *Superpitcher*, and *Ricardo Villalobos*, Aguayo's sound is characterized by its infectious rhythms and experimental approach. His performances are energetic and captivating, leaving audiences wanting more.

In what will certainly be ranked as one of his most intriguing releases so far, Kompakt staple Matias Aguayo not only takes a quick breather from his commitment to Comeme, but also opens up fresh and exciting paths for him to explore with his music: 'Legende' is both the continuation and alteration of Matias' well-established aesthetic canon, drawing from all stages in his production career und ultimately synthesizing various sonic strains into a wholly new listening experience. Having established a firm artistic presence in the annals of electronic music through iconic collaborations like Closer Musik or his genre-defying solo work, Matias Aguayo is an artist well known for his deep investment with innovation in club sounds and a keen sense of the varying social context that informs them. This led to the inception of C洋eme, internationally acclaimed label by day, breeding ground for the revolution by night, sonically and otherwise. One can safely assume that - besides constant performing and travelling - this makes for a pretty busy schedule. It is a rare treat, then, when new solo material from Matias is to be released, and it's certainly an event under scrutiny. But fear not: 'Legende' more than rises to the occasion and brings you four new cuts that are as thrilling as they are edgy - starting with the lyrically charged late night stomper 'Run Away From The Sun', devised by the producer as the story of a vampire who waited 750 years for a kiss, only to be chased away by the sun. It's a tragic tale illustrated by dark, fraying synth patches caught by menacing, yet oddly warm-sounding surges of bass, with keyboards played by Yasuyo Uemura and a mixdown by none other than Tobias Freund.
