In its own way, Speicher on Kompakt Extra has always been one of the most uncompromising series in the Kompakt universe. Starting out as a mere compilation series to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, it has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, with Kompakt being able to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. That's also where we found the highly versatile Sei A, native Glaswegian, now residing in London and immersing himself in the hybrid house, firm techno and bass-heavy scenes that happily co-exist within UK's capital. He's well known to paint vivid and emotional sonic pictures that touch on rather more considered house and bass tropes, prizing feeling over fads and staging an impressive balancing act between hardcore beat science and lush, moody arrangements. This 12" is no different, featuring two stellar examples for Sei A's stylistic reach, rave stabs included. Welcome to the many-faceted party that is Speicher.
