 Stars
of Kompakt
Minimal grooves, maximum impact. In dance music
this is what made Cologne famous, and Tobias Thomas along with his
Kompakt friends was of the first to put this down.
Kompakt records have just been handed the label
of the year from DMA Germany, so if your up for some first class
quality dance music you'd be crazy to miss this. Between his Friday
night Total Confusion event and writing for SPEX magazine, Tobias
can be found at all the major gigs such as WIRE and May Day.
Similar to Michael Mayer, Tobias' mixing grows
from subtle, sexy minimal grooves to massive acid rave anthems.
Last year Tobias played an epic five hour set until finish leaving
the punters screaming for more. This month Tobias will be bringing
all the rocking bass grooves back to quop, this time with fellow
Kompakt hit-machine Justus Kohncke who will be performing a live
disco house set with all the German vocals you desire.
