The only gunpoint of critique with Michael Mayer is that he doesn't release sufficiency of his own productions. One of the key figures of Cologne, Germany's electronic music scene, Mayer as well has indestructible reputations as a remixer, DJ, and manufacturer, and has released a small smattering of his own singles on Kompakt -- a label he helps run with give way Wolfgang Voigt -- and Kompakt-related labels like New Trance Atlantic (NTA) and Kreisel 99. His possess productions, whether dabbling in house or techno, tend to be minimal with dubby flourishes -- and no iI sound alike. Kompakt Köln Präsentiert Michael Mayer, a conflate album of tracks from the likes of Sanosol, Herbert, OM1, and the Modernist, was released in 1998 by Neuhouse. Four geezerhood later, Kompakt issued Immer, some other mix album. Tracing the developments made in micro-house/tech-house made since Mayer's former mix, Immer featured material from Carsten Jost, Akufen, Selway, and A Rocket in Dub. At this gunpoint, Mayer became something of a bill poster boy for Cologne techno. In 2003, he released a pair of mixes. The first was based on the number one several releases in Kompakt's Speicher series, while the mo was commissioned by London's Fabric series. The following class, Mayer released a second Speicher desegregate and finally delivered his long-promised debut album of productions (Touch). [See too: Forever Sweet; Zimt.]
