Compost

Automat is an Italian one-album duo comprised of veteran songwriters-producers from the progressive rock era. Their unique sound combines electronic disco elements with a futuristic concept, creating an otherworldly experience for listeners.

Inspired by their progressive rock roots, Automat's album takes on a *alien* and *futuristic* theme, immersing listeners in a sonic journey unlike any other. With their expert production skills and innovative approach to music-making, Automat has carved out a distinct niche in the industry.

If you enjoy artists such as Kreidler, Die Wilde Jagd, or Monolake, then Automat's music will undoubtedly captivate your senses. Drawing inspiration from legends like Conrad Schnitzler and Cluster while incorporating modern influences from artists like Primal Code and Deadbeat, Automat offers a truly unique musical experience that transcends genres.

Compost is a German electronic label, based in Munich, and founded by DJ Michael Reinboth in 1994. It has gained a reputation for its influential contributions to the electronic music scene.

The label has worked with renowned artists such as Moodymann, Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, Masters At Work, Âme, Dixon, Henrik Schwarz, and Kruder & Dorfmeister. These artists have either contributed their own tracks or provided remixes for Compost.

With a label code of LC 2518 / LC 02518, Compost continues to be at the forefront of the electronic music industry. Its dedication to quality and innovation has solidified its position as an authoritative voice within the genre.

Automat operate like a well-oiled machine: it buzzes, it whirrs, it follows an unswerving course. On its fourth album however, the trio shifts down a gear, further refines its musical approach and partners with other figures from the world of adventurous music. Besides Candy Bomber Studios neighbour Max Loderboder - with whom Jochen Arbeit, Achim Färber and Georg Zeitblom have already worked together in 2015 for an EP -, they are joined on the microphone by dub legend Paul St. Hilaire aka Tikiman, the undisputed queen of gutter poetry Lydia Lunch and the newcomer Mika Bajinski. They all contributed to the recordings according to the guiding principle which lends its name to Modul: the eight pieces were written collectively based on a building block system that dynamically set the compositional process in motion and evenly divided responsibility between all participants. The result is a musical perpetuum mobile - an album with the steady resting pulse of a dub production that always stays on the move.
