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.

Available on vinyl for the very first time!. Beside the constant pushing forward of the so called "Sound Of Cologne“ - Minimal Techno in the home of Kompakt, there was also a strong faible for ambient sounds. Not only because of the labels origin and its operator’s preference for the pop music of the 70s and 80s, there was evolving a variety of ambient music, that added the aspect of pop to the confusing diversity of genres during that time. 

Not pop in the sense of actual classic pop music: Pop in the sense of subculture, of Pop Art and, first and foremost, in the sense of pop as an attitude. This was how Pop Ambient was launched and the way it established its own authentic music with a high recognition value. 

Pop Ambient is indulging the beauty and the timelessness. Pop Ambient is a sonic cosmos of attitude for itself and has no fears of contact with adjoining genres nor with kitsch, art or carnival. It’s ambient if you do it nevertheless. It features cuts from Joachim Spieth, Reinhard Voigt, Dettinger etc.
