The industrial sounds of Tough Luck Records come under spotlight in our UK Underground label focus

To celebrate their de facto 20th anniversary, Kompakt are participating in a whole load of festival stage takeovers in cities all over Europe, and Michael says that getting all the Kompakt artists together for birthday event shows is one of the best things about the celebrations.

Setting up a massive outdoor soundsystem in the middle of a city and getting away with it is no easy feat these days, especially in the UK, so when FACE/Below pulled off Circoloco in the Arena on a stretch of industrial wasteland in the heart of Birmingham last Easter, they had us impressed to say the least.

They put performance back into the market place when the scene was on the verge of digital DJing boredom.
