A quietly foundational release from Cologne’s Dettinger, Blond EP distills the emotional minimalism and precision that helped define the early Kompakt sound. Released in 1998, these tracks sit delicately between micro-house, dub-inflected techno and pop-ambient sensitivity.

Soft-edged percussion, gently pulsing basslines and shimmering melodic fragments unfold with restrained grace, creating a subtle sense of motion that rewards deep listening. It’s music built on atmosphere rather than impact - intimate, hypnotic and timeless.

It is easy to get lost in these amazing tracks. The drive, the emotion and technically unique production style envelopes the listener into the world of Dettinger.
