Diamanten Und Raketen / Various

After the now legendary Playhouse compilation series Famous When Dead, it's sister label Klang Elektronik now starts a concept series of it's own: Diamanten und Raketen (Diamonds and Rockets). As the title already indicates, it doesn't just feature the 12" single highlights of the last twelve months, but creates a build-up of tension that presents Klang Elektronik classics, current hits and a preview of what the label holds store. The main emphasis will, of course, be on the tracks of the current post-techno generation that are dedicated to the development of minimalist classic dancefloor patterns. Sometimes abstracting and deconstructing creates entirely new genres that only peripherally have anything to do with modern club music." Artists featured: Avus, Johannes Heil, Misc., Alter Ego, 2 Dollar Egg, Destillat, Bergheim 34, Phage & Daniel Dreier, Partycrashers, Raudive, Hieroglyphic Being.
