Kompakt Label Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary with TOTAL 23 Compilation
#kompakt #vinyl #indiemusic
Esteemed German electronic music label, Kompakt, is set to unveil its 23rd edition of the annual TOTAL compilation series. The number 23, intriguingly, conjures references from William S. Burroughs’ Captain Clark story, the renowned Illuminatus trilogy, and mentions of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu. However, far from being trapped in numerological myths or succumbing to eikositriophobia (fear of the number 23), the Kompakt team is gearing up for the celebrations, wearing their enlightened spirit with pride.
This year holds dual significance for the label. While marking the release of TOTAL 23, Kompakt also commemorates a monumental milestone: its 30th anniversary. The celebratory event is scheduled for September 2nd, promising a nostalgic touch with a “classic” artist lineup reminiscent of previous iconic shows in Cologne. Opting for an intimate setting, the festivities have been relocated from a grand stage to the cozy confines of the “Biergarten” at Südbrücke. The event kicks off at 2:00 PM, with the label advising early attendance due to the venue’s limited capacity. For enthusiasts wishing to secure their spot, advance ticket bookings are available.
In a nod to TOTAL 23, attendees have a unique chance to sport the series’ theme with a newly minted T-shirt, available in exclusive TOTAL 23 colors.
As the day approaches, the Kompakt family excitedly beckons: “See you on the other side… We are looking forward to seeing you!”
