Robag Wruhme – a man who needs little introduction as he is one of our most recognised members of the Kompakt family. His story with the label began as a half of the now legendary Wighnomy Bros..Their 2004 release WURZ + BLOSSE (KOM EX 19 / SPEICHER 19) was the pivotal single in defining a renegade techno approach that continues to aspire the series today.

The solo career of Robag Wruhme is as illustrious and courageous as it gets for being an electronic musician and DJ. Through a long series of EP releases on Musilk Krause that includes the defining 2004 album “WUZZELBUD KK” through to becoming a core member of DJ Koze’s Pampa Records family with two full length albums and EP’s, his connection to Kompakt has never faltered with a stream of EP releases including last year’s lockdown hit “Calma Calma” (KOM EX 115 / SPEICHER 115).

As one of our favourite DJ’s, it was a complete no-brainer to ask Robag Wruhme to be the second to contribute to our CONNECTING THE DOTS series. He delivered a mix that is beyond expectations and true to form with his style, showcasing the extensive knowledge of our catalogue in the best of ways. Through layering up to 4 tracks at the same time covering literally the course of our label’s long history, Connecting The Dots features the likes of Michael Mayer, Jörg Burger, GusGus, Closer Musik plus even a cameo from German actor, Kai Schuman.

CONNECTING THE DOTS is our new monthly DJ Mix series that invites our favourite DJs to have access to our 15k + track catalogue of the Kompakt family of labels and tell their own interpretation of our musical history. Beyond that, we see this as our way to voice the need for artists' music used in DJ mixes should be paid for their tracks being used – and we challenge others to bring to streaming platforms more mixes as an alternative away from the constant tsunami of free / illegal DJ mixes online.
