The tracklist is out. Kompakt head Michael Mayer follows up his 2002 classic ‘Immer’ with its long-awaited sequel. ‘Immer 2’ will be released in October this year.
The first volume of ‘Immer’ was widely acclaimed for its graceful blend of lush tunes and techno, serving as entry point for many into the world of Kompakt and Cologne-style minimal. Mayer’s follow-up mix CD has been eagerly anticipated for months now, but your pain is almost over, folks.
A first look at the tracklist reveals that, like the first volume, the mix is a blend Kompakt tried and true (Justus Kohncke, SCSI-9 and The Rice Twins) with lesser known names (Ian Simmonds, Brooks, Trevor). The CD finishes off on a new Mayer & Superpitcher remix of glam housers Geiger (under their Supermayer alias).
Copies of the mix will come with tickets to downloads for seven extra mp3s selected by Mayer with tracks featured heavily in his recent sets including cuts by AM/PM, Ada and Mayer’s remix of Adolf Noise (aka Koze).
