Michael Mayer Fabric 13
Michael Mayer is one of Europe’s underground superstars. His time is split between producing tracks (his debut album is forthcoming), DJing globally (he tours Japan and the US in late 2003) and overseeing the distribution of many of Europe’s underground labels. He works at Kompakt, a business incorporating a vibrant release schedule, recording studios, distribution centres and a gigantic record store, all in the heart of Cologne. Every Friday Michael eats with best pals and fellow Kompakt artists Tobias Thomas and Aksel Superpitcher, before partying at Total Confusion, their Studio 672 clubnight. ‘Fabric 13’ displays the components that make Michael Mayer and Kompakt essential. It was made in one-take on a Monday afternoon in an empty Studio 672. Alongside minimal techno there’s killer acid, low-slung eighties grooves, heart-stealing strings, live drums, a heap of melody and no purist sensibilities. 01.

A ceux qui découvriraient Michael Mayer au travers de cet album, je ne peux que recommander l'incroyable et sublime "Immer", son précédent mix sorti sur son label Kompakt.
