Record Store Day 2015

It is that time of the year again: Record Store Day returns on Saturday 18th, and as in the years before, we decided on a very special, extremely exclusive one-off vinyl pressing. After revetting the Kompakt classics "Triumph" from Jürgen Paape and The Field's "From Here We Go Sublime" (both still available), we directed our attention to another almost mystical release from our own days of yore - just as The Field's iconic debut album, Dettinger's full-length milestone "Intershop" from 1999 had never been issued on vinyl... a much-deplored oversight that we're going to amend for Record Store Day 2015. Restored to breathtaking beauty, the newly mastered classic is one of our most renowned pre-millennium offerings, a surprise best seller and a style-defining predecessor of the then-nascent pop ambient genre. A massive fan favorite even after 16 years, it was originally released on CD only and held seven masterfully crafted cuts introducing the listener to a new blueprint for electronic music. Let's lounge like it's 1999 - vinyl (including CD) available in our Cologne record store and mail order this Saturday! Speaking of which: Saturday will also see massive discounts in our Cologne record store (and only there) - 15% discount on all Kompakt, Kompakt Extra, Kompakt Pop and Kompakt Pop Ambient releases! If that's not enough to get you off your couch we don't know what will. Happy Record Store Day!
