After one and a half decade and more than 390 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums.
The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or
DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.
Since the remix work always played an important role for Compost, it´s high time to give some of the best house and techno producers and remixers credit for their deluxe reworks of our repertoire!
Rupert & Mennert did already a great job with compiling the Jazz Selection (Vol.1&2), the Downbeat Selection (Vol.1) and recently the Experimental Selection. With this first Remixes Selection, the focus is on club music, so our two dutch selectors chose nine deep remixes by the house experts Henrik Schwarz, Whignomy Bros., Llorca (Art Of Tones), Ripperton, Makossa & Megablast, Sasse, Dixon, Christian Prommer and Chopstick & Johnjon.
Who are Rupert&Mennert?
They reside in Den Helder, The Netherlands. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. From there they send their fine radioshow into the wide world. The show is currently re-invented. The Sound of Swound ran for more than 200 shows. But it will be replaced by something even better: “Weird Pigs – not for copycats”.
Besides their love for broadcasting they produce music too. Together with Me Raabenstein they released, as Lagerfeltz, an album on Nonine Recordings, Berlin.Together with remix-work for Energie du Verre and Ensemble du Verre (Batterie Records, Hamburg) their release-roster is building. A remix on this very label is also in the making.

Esperanza is THE new group on Gomma. And Gomma is very happy with th debut album of the three kids from Italy. And - judging from the reactions on the first single “Sirena” (feat.: Banjo Or Freakout ) it seems that some others felt in love, too, already. Gui Boratto, James Holden, Laurent Garnier, Peter Kruder and many more key DJ’s have already declared they are fans of the band. The Esperanza boys combine huge musical talent, phantasy, knowledge of music history with a great technical ability and skills. All three guys have been learning classical instruments - but also experimenting with electronics. Esperanza’s Carlo Dall’Amico, also known as CECILE, has already released on Gomma. (His remix for Vampire Weekend stirr quite a buzz in the UK.) On their debut album the guys create a very own, different sound. Atmospheres ranging from late San Francisco psychedelic to tropical or Icelandic vibes, Duesseldorf electronics, mid 90’s Detroit Techno mixed with a pure “Anima Latina” - the universe of italian melodic and harmonics. Or think about Brian Eno having a friendly jam session with Global Communication, Turzi and Air in an open-air amphitheatre. Esperanza is in the air, but she’s already far from here. The album features recording artist Banjo Or Freakout (Memphis Industries, Walls/Kompakt) on vocals, and remixes come from Luke Abbott (Border Community), Broke One and Walls (Kompakt).
