Hugely acclaimed and respected label KOMPAKT celebrate their 15th Anniversary with a night at Indigo on Sunday 27 April as part of the Eat Your Own Ears series

Acts playing are

MOUSE ON MARS Jan St Werner and Andi Toma are best known for their work together as Mouse on Mars, debuting in 1994 with Vulvaland. On albums like Niun Niggung (their first for Domino), Idiology and Radical Connector they’ve gone on to perfect a signature sound which blends the lateral improvisational moves of jazz with the abstract complexities of electronica and the directness of acoustic instrumentation.
Mouse on Mars, are one of the few electronic bands to stand the test of time. constantly reinventing themselves, they have taken electronica to new heights with a unique blend of sound annihilation, fragmented melodies and an impassioned hatred of conformity.

BURGER / VOIGT live mix uber cool housey flavoured groove, wicked noises ooze in and out with an old school nod and stompy and highly infectious beat.

THOMAS FEHLMANN hardly belies his age or pedigree, not only as the first person to put out a house record in britain (as ready made in 1986), but as a famed collaborator with blake baxter, juan atkins, maurizio, and erasure (to name just a few) and also The Orb over the past two decades. Live his set takes in elements of dub, detriot house, schaffel-techno and ambient-pop.

GUI BORATTO plays a live set of synth-heavy and colour-evocative dance music that are cinematic in scope and yet still driven by a mid-tempo rhythmic minimalism that makes them so powerful on the dance floor.

JONAS BERING live sets consists of bassdrivin techtrax and fluffy harmonic stuff. Kompakt invites you to a visit to beautiful small town Lille, next to the Belgian border. This is where Jonas Bering develops his unique warm-sounding techgrooves already impressively shown on his debut album Bienfait in summer 2000. With his new EP Emballages he takes a step further by adding some more catchy melodies and unconventional rhythmic structures to his lovely deep drowning textures.

ALLEZ ALLEZ are Sam and Steve. Their blog / podcast (located at www.allez-allez.co.uk) is rapidly gaining a reputation as the UK's answer to DFA dude Tim Sweeny's infamous Beats In Space show - with exclusive weekly mixes from the residents, plus guest mixes from the likes of Optimo, Ewan Pearson, Joakim, Four Tet, Pilooski and The Aliens.

They have a monthly party at New Cross's Amersham Arms, where past / future guests include Optimo, Four Tet, Shackleton, Nathan Fake, Basteroid and Dirty Space Disco amongst others, and promote Kompakt Records' London parties at Plastic People, which have seen them play alongside the likes of Michael Mayer, Superpitcher, Gui Borrato, The Field and DJ Koze amongst others.

Their DJ sets are a party mixture of all things weird, wonderful and danceable - think krautrock / minimal / industrial / house.
