Kompakt is cloned

Cologne label Kompakt has become incredibly popular over the past year. A record number of releases were released, and the label's artists took part in all more or less significant compilations. A small team of managers can no longer cope with the boom in schaffel-bit. Kompakt CEO Michael Mayer recruits new employees and opens a new label, K2. Here's what Michael himself says about the new brainchild: "K2 is like a new tributary of the Kompakt river, we receive a huge amount of good promotional material, and the release schedule of our flagship label is packed to capacity. We can no longer release more records and albums through Kompakt. But we also do not intend to lose a huge number of classic-sounding works. This is why K2 was opened.
The first four K2 releases will be:
1.Steadycam- Ding.Steadycam Swedish newcomer. His first record is something between the old releases of the Profan label and minimal art-techno. I consider it a great discovery
2.Hug–The angry ghost. Another Swede is hiding under the pseudonym Hug, but this time it is the long-recognized techno star John Dalback. As you might guess, this record is the best thing he's done recently.
3.Robert Babicz tracks by this guy, I played at all the festivals this summer and they were well received everywhere, only a crazy person would not publish them after that.
4.Gui is a techno musician from Brazil. We decided to publish it in order to emphasize the internationality of Kompakt. Just kidding, Gui is the creator of wonderful music.
