Kompakt presents a mix CD by German electronic artist, Robag Wruhme (Gabor Schablizki, Themroc, Wighnomy Brothers, Machiste, Rolf Oksen, Die Dub Rolle, etc.). His discography is as stunning as the list of his DJ appearances. There's not a soul with the slightest interest in electronic music who has never danced to a track by this extraordinarily gifted producer. He's one of the few that has truly created his own signature sound -- a Robag track is a Robag track is a Robag track. Likewise, as a DJ he hardly manages to hide his genius. The swinging sexiness of his own productions serves as a framework for his otherwise rather eclectic universe in which Thom Yorke and Germany's most cranky comedian Helge Schneider talk the same language, where jazz buddies up with thumping techno. Robag's trademark is his excessive use of reverb effects; like black holes, they suck in and spit out the most varied influences. Wuppdeckmischmampflow is Robag Wruhme's latest mix CD and could be considered an immaculate conception. Crafted in the comforting seclusion of the Spreewald, a vast forest area south of Berlin, far away from the hectic turmoil of clubs and airports, he began toying around with his favorite tracks and songs. It turned out to be a very intimate, wonderful music project that Robag needed to share, spanning a decade of electronic music history. Wuppdeckmischmampflow is an honest, touching, life-enhancing affair. The perfect co-pilot, roommate, old sport, Dear Abby and pocket hand-warmer. He gingerly interweaves music by Moderat, Four Tet, Ricardo Villalobos, Whomadewho, Danny Norbury, Trentemøller and Tiefschwarz, and many more, including an unreleased track by Wruhme himself. Additional note: "Robag Smapelschatull" refers to pieces on which two tracks are mixed and include elements reworked by Robag Wruhme. Other artists include: Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Seth Troxler, Audion, Château Flight, Claro Intelecto, MRI, DJ Koze, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Voom Voom, Henrik Schwarz, Ian Simmonds, Krause Duo, and Zwanie Jonson.
