The opening honors on Kompakt's Total 24 go to Hamburg's bundle of joy, Ada, who remixed her dear friend Heiko Voss. When Rhenish cheerfulness meets holiday anticipation, the result is something like this Hawaiian shirt turned music called "Chee-Caruso" by Jürgen Paape. Next up is one of this year's Kompakt debutantes, a truly glamorous bird of paradise called Deer Jade. "Jukurpa" is a highly original, frolicsome house tune that has been moving crowds all over the planet. As an integral part of the family, Jonathan Kaspar is of course not to be missed. "Are You" celebrates the kind of early morning rapture that is commonplace at his new DJ venue, the brand new Cologne superclub FI. Next is Hardt Antoine. who has been firing from all cylinders lately, and he's god damn good at it. Sascha Funke takes a bow to one of the greats of German showbiz with the trippy electro smasher "The Heck." Having admired Tee Mango from afar for many years, Kompakt's A&R Michael Mayer took heart and invited him to this year's Total. Brazilian come Austrian come Berliner Joyce Muniz has certainly become a household name with her intoxicating brand of uplifting pop house. Fittingly, she has joined the ranks here for a collaboration with Sara Blum, "Beats & Lines." More Brazilian feel good vibes come in the form of Gui Boratto's "The Shell" which he conceived together with the former Underworld producer and legend in his own right, Darren Emerson. Next comes the realm of fauna, to London's award-winning pedigree dog Rex The Dog. "Laika" is a heart-warming ode to the mongrel dog of the same name, who was the first living creature to make it from the streets of Moscow into space. Taken from his recent Speicher release, "Beskar" showcases Egyptian lover Raxon's fascination for all things Star Wars and his undeniable ability to churn out monster tracks. David Hasert and Niconé's "Wasting My Time With You" is surely one of the most beloved Kompakt releases of 2024, so it can't be missed on this compilation. Reinhard Voigt has always placed great emphasis on loving animals. On this track with the unsurprising title "Der, der mit dem Gummiball sang (Orange)", he lets whole hordes of different four-legged friends and poultry on the microphone. Argia's "Love Keeps You Running" masterfully combines groove and pop. Before going to bed, Wassermann reads a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights.
