ôThe majority of these tracks have been long companions, ever reliable secret
weapons. They never failed me and continue to excite me even after a thousand
plays.ö - MICHAEL MAYER It's been almost eight years since our ears were
delighted to MICHAEL MAYER's IMMER (which translates in English to ALWAYS) - a
mix CD that even for it's time seemed to transcend the state of the DJ mix album
by bridging a timeless period of emerging music from producers known and new in
exemplarity style and fusion. IMMER would play a pivotal role in bringing the
sound of KOMPAKT and of course MICHAEL MAYER, to a global audience and to this
date, and remains one of the most cherished and respected mix CD's of all time,
having recently made countless ôbest of decadeö charts normally reserved for
studio albums (including PITCHFORK and FACT MAGAZINE) plus earning a #1 position
of ôBest Mix CD Of The 00'sö in leading dance music authority RESIDENT ADVISOR.
Since then, MICHAEL MAYER has continued to remain loyal to his roots of Cologne
and between his time performing around the world maintains his weekday role as
one of the core owners and operators of KOMPAKT - whether it be his careful A&R
for the label, overseeing the distribution division or his studio collaborations
and famed remixes with SUPERPITCHER as SUPERMAYER and of course his own
production work (check his most recent remix for DELPHIC), the man is well
deservingly one of the most dedicated members of the music community thanks to
his tireless work ethic and continuous enthusiasm. Following a winter holiday
and series of gigs in South America, Michael arrived back home inspired and went
straight to work on preparing the mix. As with the previous IMMER releases, what
you hear in IMMER 3 immediately is a tremendously personal and reflective mix -
Michael jokes it as being the most feminine mix he's done. Opting not for the
most current and hip genres or tracks of the moment, Michael carefully chose
timeless musical moments from his record crate that almost hints as a call to
obliterate the current state of overhyped minimal bongo house, formulaic techno
and dub step that rules the clubs today - as was similarly the case back with
the first IMMER release. The results reflect the smooth flow and selection that
Michael brings to his fans in clubs week after week. Taking cue from his love
for performing in the early morning hours ôàwhen the skin seems to fail
separating dancers from each otheràwhen the night has reached it's peak of
intimacyö, IMMER 3 opens with the haunting croon of CORTNEY TIDWELL aided by the
lush bed of EWAN PEARSON's ambient fluidity. MATIAS AGUAYO & DIRK LEYER's now
legendary CLOSER MUSIK's ôDepartures" is awoken from it's 2002 slumber in
timeless form giving sway for the mesmerizing trippiness of DJ KOZE's remix for
BEN WATT. TIM PARIS and the fundamental classic SMITH N HACK track ôFalling
Starsö set up the pace -Onward, POPNONAME makes his KOMPAKT POP debut with the
TERRANOVA remix of his hit ôHello Gorgeousö. Finally, after 3 years of waiting,
the sleeping beauty that is SUPERPITCHER's lost CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG remix makes
its debut official appearance - the classic flair of SUPERPITCHER's sexy techno
sway conjoins with Madame GAINSBOURG in a duet like no other. It's possibly one
of the most bizarre DJ transitions in music ever but amazingly South Africa's
CULOE DE SONG's emotionally overwhelming anthem ôThe Bright Forestö makes total
sense when linked with JUSTUS K÷HNCKE aka KINKY JUSTICE's cover of the ROUND TWO
house classic ôNEW DAYö. So there you have it - IMMER 3àelegant, personal,
enriching and as always - seductive.
