Kompakt

Nicky Elisabeth lives and works in Amsterdam and is one of the resident DJs of De Marktkantine, one of the most established clubs in the Dutch capital and long-time host of Kompakt parties of all kinds. Anyone who has experienced one of these parties there will find much of the special atmosphere and punchy sound of those nights in Nicky's Kompakt debut 12 inch Celeste.

It seems obvious to interpret the two tracks Celeste and Say as a kind of loving homage to the Kompakt sound of the last three decades. With sparing means Nicky manages to elicit a maximum of energy and catchiness from her two tracks, always carried by a sure instinct for breaks and the right timing for small escalations - something that good DJs simply have in their blood. In the end, it's always about the dramaturgy.

The two remixes of the title track Celeste from the hands of the grand masters Robag Wruhme and Roman Flügel are no less "celestial" than the original. Robag Wruhme in particular gives the piece something wonderfully floating and dreamy in his arrangement, as he also managed to do on his 12- inch Yes / Calma Calma. Roman builds in little deconstructions here and there, sometimes going left, sometimes heading right, to finally let himself be carried away by the good- humoured nineties vibe. One can hardly wait to finally experience all this on the dance floor again.
