Under his guidance, Kompakt has gone from strength to strength and the cornerstones of it’s rise has as much to do with the busy hands of producers such as Mayer, as it does with the collective’s deft ears that can slice through to the most compelling details of a long history of club music, strip them, redress them, and throw them back at an audience as something deceptively new. As it’s Kompakt’s 10th anniversary Mayer will be celebrating in style.
