Emilie Nana will bring you up! Her levitating voice, almost whispered, will overwhelm you. She will bewitch you like a great priestess whereas the musical backing is deep, hypnotic and steady tones. "I Rise is a denunciation", Emilie Nana claims! It is not only about a meditation but truly well a declamation. She clearly address to the oppressor. She speaks whit great assurance! She answers to decades of mistreatment. She is a black woman who's expressing herself proudly. A strongly personal music! After Danny Krivit, who came up with the now classic re-edits for the initial release of "I Rise", it's now fellow New Yorker and Body & Soul compagnon François K who's sharing this strong sentiment. Like with Danny Krivit, the opportunity to working with a personality that gathers all ethnic origins together throughout his career and life like François Kevorkian - a living legend, whose production- and remix works for countless artists are beyond classics and covering a timeframe of more than four decades - is a big honour for Emilie Nana and of course for Compost Records in either way. Kevorkian's role as a mastermind in NYC nightlife is untouchable and the fact that he's still sharing his knowledge and forward thinking attitude towards dance music, keeps him going strong at the forefront of the international dance music scene. We feel happy and blessed to release François Kevorkian's masterclass remix works of "I Rise". Three different versions to play with – all brilliant and very special in his inimitable manner!

Philipp Stoya is back on Compost Black with a bunch of fantastic tunes, a hypnotic trip with deep analogue playfulness and elegance. It's a story of dedication, devotion and a whole lot of craziness. The debut E.P of Philipp Stoya, who might be recognized from his appearances on some Various Artists - 12"s on Compost Black Label, is a testimonial of love, his love to his wife, whose name is the EP's title, his love to music in general, giving birth to this record and his love to electric pianos and synths, such as the Fender Rhodes and the Roland Juno 106, which sounds give the tracks on the record an unique flair and atmosphere.

Christian Prommer is back on Compost Black Label with a new EP for the summer. Uplifting and soulful vibes to enrich any open-air beach set, well, notwithstanding that these tracks would enlighten all dark cellar floors anyway. The beats, strings and harmonies form the "Hanging On The Dj Booth" EP are heavily inspired by a cool girl that loves to hang upside down on the DJ Booth at our favorite clubs in Munich - sometimes breaking the DJ booth and getting invoices from the clubs for the damage. Never paying them, but being upset about it, because she thinks that the clubs should pay her for her dancing and hanging on the DJ booth. I try to only play in clubs where this girl is around. If I could, I would marry her. These tracks are part of the upcoming Christian Prommer album "Ambach" that will be released in October 2013 to celebrate the Compost Black Label issue 100.

Deep house in all his variety, from being airy, fluffy, substantial, pushy or cracking to the elegance of indie pop, all in here: bodacious and groovy remixes by Daniel Stefanik, Osunlade, Jacob Korn or Klinke Auf Cinch. Marbert Rocel, the East German indie pop'n'jazz sensation and live band just brought their third album "Small Hours" to life, capturing a deep sense for beats, smoking, songs, indie pop trips including leftfield house- and jazzy affairs.

19 years old Emil Seidel pours two tracks on the A-side and his first trademark on vinyl. This is a true discovery from Move D, who played „Tumbling“ many many times in his sets and gave us the hint. Influenced by the begining of Chicago House, and a ten years classical cello background, Emil started to produce house music in 2009. After his debut release on New York based label We Make Names and two digital releases on Frankfurt’s Surce label, this two killer tunes approving the damn young talent. The B-side starts off with an awakening battle yell, from the DJ and producer duo Deo & Z- Man. Whilst other kids learned walking, the two residents of the Golden Pudel Club (Hamburg) and The Golden Gate (Berlin) started creating their own wicked fumbling flow. When was the first time Philipp Stoya, 23 years young native of Jena, took notice of a four to the floor bassdrum? It must have been the moment in the cellar of his parents house, where Mathias Veit, co-founder of the Fatplastics Recordstore, and Agent Griede (Freude am Tanzen Bookings) were living. In an early stage he listened from the aisle outside the room what the roomers were playing. Well, the bassdrum was dominant. Later on Philipp extended his deep house horizon in the room and it makes boom.
