Super label Kompakt records touches down in Denver with boss Michael Mayer, Gui Boratto & John Tejada at the controls for this mega showcase of house, techno, and minimal house prowess. Many have characterized Kompakt as the label that’s contributed more than any other to Germany’s dominance of electronic dance music. Join us for another night of out-of-the-world sounds and all your friends at Whirling Dervish!

//ARTISTS//
Michael Mayer
As a DJ, producer, and remixer, he remains one of Germany’s core celebrities in dance music. It’s no secret that he spends his weekends traveling around the globe and back. Then, as a co-owner of Kompakt, he spends his weekdays deciding what will be released on the label and working with the label’s artists. Amazingly enough, he manages to sneak into the studio on occasion to produce his own music and remix the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Foals, and Rufus Wainwright.

Gui Boratto
With countless licenses with respected European labels, such as Plastic City, Circle, Kompakt, Audiomatique, among others, Gui Boratto has managed to appear in the chart and playlists of people like Michael Mayer, Tiefschwarz, Steve Bug, Phonique, Martin Landsky, Hernan Cattaneo, among others.

John Tejada
Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled-out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo.
