Tomorrow, Room Two opens its doors to one of our most treasured and favourite labels. Dominating the “Cologne sound” with remarkable elegance, its title fits its roster, a Kompakt line up of artists spawning from Michael Mayer to Tobias Thomas to the tattoo-clad spinstress that is Jennifer Cardini. A French ambassador for the label, she's helped shape the ethos of the imprint to a humanist approach of lush 4/4. Combined with her fluid mixing skills and muscular beats, the Total 10 tour (celebrating the 10th addition to Kompakt's untouchable Total compilation series) will enrich the legacy of their superlative sound even further this weekend.
Looking back over the years, Jennifer gives us her all time favourite 10 Kompakt classics...
