It’s time for a new Reinhard Voigt EP on Kompakt? It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago since we last heard from him but then again, time is running! His last release on Kompakt “Was wir spüren” (KOM 402) was released in May 2019. From there we encountered Reinhard’s musical work mainly in the form of various digital reissues or in union with his brother Wolfgang together as Voigt & Voigt. Then in August of 2021, a glimmer of musical life from Reinhard reached his loyal fans in the form of a continuation of his RV ultra-minimalist concept series as “RV 05 / RV 06” via our KX imprint.
So that brings us to the present. Two new tracks that preach and spin on the classic Reinhard Voigt sound. Tracks that are as relentless as they are consistent to his signature stoic, radical, minimal techno. “Cha Cha Club” creaks and stomps along so mercilessly that they leave us impatient for the reopening of dark, foggy clubs room and to have the bitter taste of gin and chemicals on our palates. Bass drum in, bass drum out – 2sometimes that’s all it takes to be happy.
With “Die Frau, die nach Deutz ging” Reinhard discloses a small tale in the title…this is the continuation of “Der Mann, der nie nach Deutz kam”, a track from “Was wir spüren”. Elements recall Reinhard Voigt’s SPEICHER tracks; sovereign, modern techno, monotonous in principle, but here and there interrupted and structured by unexpected signals and sounds in such a way that the track will also work on larger dance floors.

This record is a masterpiece, a combination of cool atmospheric sounds and a dream-like state of being. I listen to this all the time. A new classic. Cliff Hengst
