Matias Aguayo’s Cómeme label is one like no other. Over the course of the past decade the prolific imprint has championed electronic music of a particular, playful strand. From the clattering, goofy, drum laden jams of Aguayo himself, Christian S, DJs Pareja and
Ana Helder to the darker, menacing club turns of rRoxymore and Carisma, there is an unmistakable zeal throughout the label’s catalogue. Even in its murkiest depths, like on Lena Willikens’ ‘Phantom Delia’, the darkness is something menacing and relished in rather than brooded over and idealised.

Charlotte de Witte has become somewhat of an unstoppable force in the techno-sphere in the past couple of years.

Phase Fatale is set to officially debut on Ostgut Ton, Berghain’s in-house record label, with his ‘Reverse Fall’ EP, set for release 13th July.
