Kompakt celebrate 25 years with a split 12" featuring two heroes of the "neat and tidy bass drum culture", T. Raumschmiere, aka Marco Haas, and Reinhard Voigt. With "Drei Millionen Kölsch", Voigt continues to establish his savvy "way into sound", which he's pursued by turning genre clichés into a defiant mix of the deepness of a lonesome cowboy and his implicit faith in the dancefloor. "Augen Zu" by T. Raumschmiere is one of the most beautiful masterpieces of bass-heavy "Umta Umta" techno. A few strikingly brilliant vocal lines from the master himself, combined with a relentless sequencer says it all.
