Michael Mayer (德國)

As a DJ, label owner, producer and remixer, Michael Mayer remains one of Germany's core celebrities in dance music, spending his weekends traveling around the globe and his weekdays overseeing Kompakt's output as well as its distribution wing - the home to over 50 independent record labels. It is quite an amazing feat, then, that he manages to sneak into the studio on occasion to produce his own music and remix all dem big names, continuously building his chops and honing his craft. Now, after having shown many a time how different the drum is that he’s beating, Michael readies the long-awaited release of his sophomore album „Mantasy“, an indispensable update of his production sound and an essential release for Kompakt in 2012. Considering that „Mantasy“ tells an epic story about travelling and exploring, the ensuing worldwide DJ tour is not just an industry commodity, but a narrative necessity: as a „DJ’s DJ“, Michael is known to spin records as well as tales, combining choice cuts for the greater groove and allowing the music to breathe. That’s why he opted for a very special „all night long“ approach to the tour, presenting a series of extended sets in his favorite clubs such as Barcelona’s Nitsa, London’s Fabric, Geneva's Weetamix or Offenbach’s Robert Johnson, effectively curating both places and sounds that have played an important role in his life. An intimate and sweeping trip to the core of the Kompakt sound itself, „Mantasy“ - the album and the tour – picks up on the worldwide esteem the producer and DJ is held in, and it does so in the most versatile manner, perfectly showcasing the many, many sides of Michael Mayer.
