2022 repress. "After his projects Kron and Sturm, Reinhard Voigt returns to the 'crime scene' club with Robson Ponte. With hooks and eyes, with all the tricks that you have learned as a producer in the last nine years. Techno Trax is back, you could say. Sometimes crazy, wild and funny like on B1 or with tightly laced shoes like on the A-side. The biorhythm for hard techno is also calling out in the cathedral city, and not just in Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin, for the tracks that, after 12 years of techno, give rise to a collective feeling in clubland. Take it or leave it." --Riley Reinhold

Reinhard Voigt returns to his own label with another episode of satiric techno. Reinhard embraces all that wildlife has to offer with Was Wir Spüren. A bass drum on "Das Singende, Klingende Ding" guides you through a voracious bee storm as the rooster crows gloriously towards duck quacking oblivion. "Tausendmal Zu Viel" fits perfectly as the soundtrack for to the artwork created by Mareena von Cube. "Der Mann, Der Nie Nach Deutz Kam" is classic Reinhard Voigt techno at peak-time point. A throttling bass drum is voraciously fueled by the jungle twilight.

Kompakt co-founder Reinhard Voigt's varied body of work has informed the label's musical history from the very start -- be it with his ambient dance project Sturm, rowdy techno alias S.R.I., experimental Profan staple Pentax, or simply under his given name. Voigt's output has also found a home on such iconic imprints as Mille Plateaux and Harvest, but also helped kickstart younger labels like Kompakt sublabel KX. Apokalypse Mau features two cuts of raw, sizzling, single-minded techno that find unexpected momentum in barebones synths and seemingly random bleeps.

Dancefloor taskmaster Reinhard Voigt is at it again, dropping a new set of raw, willful techno cuts. Kontraste fits snugly in the artist's tradition of powerful, minimalistic techno with a head-banging twist: oscillating between pure movement, and monolithic, abstract riff. "The Singing Saw" interweaves several rugged synth motives around a stoic, empowering bass drum. "Trust" takes the scenic route, building its simple, yet highly effective lead sounds up into a towering grinder with a touch of silkiness. These new recordings again prove Voigt's mastery of all things banging.

Returning to his classic style of rugged, explosive techno, Kompakt luminary and cofounder Reinhard Voigt certainly isn't one to mince beats; Reisen & Speisen delivers two intense, minimalist bangers with lean and efficient structures finely tuned for maximum impact. The title-track drops a simple yet mind-melting synth horn into a seething primeval soup of stoic bass and stomping drums; it's a dead-aim floor projectile packing a worrying amount of punch. Flipside surprise "Wühler" showcases a rare electro exploit by an artist mostly known for unerring techno, indulging in a gnarly new wave bassline and some expertly placed synth splashes.

The long-awaited return of a Kompakt pioneer is upon us: Reinhard Voigt finally presents new solo material with Rachanee. The title-track features an inspired use of its hypnotic voice sample -- a lesson in catchy minimalism, it's this undulating snippet that draws the listener in, followed by a stoic but surprisingly funky bass line whose sex appeal clearly lies in its simplicity. Flipside banger "Tisch Für Zwei" displays a dizzying fondness for vintage synth-grinding. The swerving bleeps keep the beats guessing, thus ensuring the right amount of insanity in a track that exclusively follows its own rules.

With his new 12" All In, Reinhard Voigt audibly glances back to his early musical influences. There's a good measure of old school Chicago house thump combined with the smart weirdness of Warp's bleep techno age. "Missing Billie" insistently pushes the low range frequencies and gently keeps the crowd going without any razzle-dazzle, sirens or horns. The splendid cover artwork was provided by Dennis Busch, who runs the incredible Esel imprint.

Reinhard Voigt is finally back with a clever 12" single. "Charge Your Dreams" is an artfully woven track sequenced to take you on an imaginary roller coaster. Voigt shows off his excellent arrangement and ingenious detail for sound, all for the greater cause of making you move. Don't despair, as the same itinerary is provided to guide you on "Bürger Sichten Falschgeld," Voigt proving again that it's still possible to conjure the best meal out of only 3 basic ingredients. If you know how, less is more.

"Everybody who had an eye on the recent musical past of this guy should be already aware of what we can expect from this record. This is about techno in its purest immediate way. Reinhard Voigt has cultivated a sound that is able to devastate everything around it with the most simple methods. His live sets are already legendary and the rumour is going that techno finally found its 'Mick Jagger'. If you subtract around 30 years and exchange the guitar with a powerbook you'll see that it's not really wrong. 'Kontakt' follows the powerful livesound and goes straight in your face. Yes, it's tough stuff but still it has this typical Voigt-ish smile in its face. And that's a highly infective one..."

"New for new. We recycle the future. Here comes the highest common denominator of Cologne 2002, Ibiza 2003 and Belgium 1991. This guy definitely has bumble bees there where people usually sit on. Quite a lot of. And rather big ones. This feels good. This will rise the mood. Well, someone has to do it ...Tradition obliges. And so does nobility, but who cares. Scottie, energy, please. This is how we rock!"

"We are extremely pleased to complete the first half of 2002 with a real energetic double-banger produced by Reinhard Voigt, one of Kompakt's co-founders and now honorary member. His track on 'Speicher 2' (Kompakt Extra 2), which is far from any revival or retro mood, keeps on rocking the dancefloors and is another prove of Voigt's antenna for strong minimal techno burners. His twin releases 'Jetzt erst recht' and 'Recht erst jetzt', keep the energy level, but replaces the hefty elements in favour of uplifting and acid-ish sequences. The flawless breaks and the fab, fat sound, both make the twins not only a must-have tool for any modern DJ but also a big event in our fun society. Acid heads go!"

"In times when the supposed 'new' often burns up more quickly than we can download it, Reinhard Voigt bets on timeless roughness with his first longplayer for Kompakt. He deliberately abstains from the glitchy crackling that's all around at present and consistently puts forward uncoded straight signals. Like on his two latest smashes 'A.S.P.' and 'Hier Und Jetzt' he indulges in the virtue of classical minimal-techno. From sawing to rustling, from blitzing to blaring he approaches the impulsive force of fashionable techno tools with an elegantly dense joy of playing, yet without denying the 'Koelner Schule'. Oh four-to-the-floor -- so clear and true tradition throughout the ages."

"Those who never experienced how it feels when the bass hits you with 10.000 Watt will unfortunately never understand a record like this. But if you ever and hopefully still enjoy this phenomenon then we got some great news for you. Reinhard Voigt is back after his fantastic 'a.s.p.' which is still played out by the likes of Ellen Allien, DJ Hell, Sven Väth... The a-side of 'Hier Und Jetzt' (here and now) brings you a real killer. Fat rave signals and an extra-tight groove will delight all fans of hard banging techno. On the flip Reinhard adds a good portion of what we call soul to it. High class deep pumping harder cologne techno. Don´t miss this 220 gramm of pure energy."
