The only point of criticism with Michael Mayer is that he doesn't release enough of his own productions. One of the key figures of Cologne, Germany's electronic music scene, Mayer also has durable reputations as a remixer, DJ, and producer, and has released a small handful of his own singles on Kompakt -- a label he helps run with founder Wolfgang Voigt -- and Kompakt-related labels like New Trance Atlantic (NTA) and Kreisel 99. His own productions, whether dabbling in house or techno, tend to be minimal with dubby flourishes -- and no two sound alike. Kompakt Köln Präsentiert Michael Mayer, a mix album of tracks from the likes of Sanosol, Herbert, OM1, and the Modernist, was released in 1998 by Neuhouse.
