Originally released in 1999, Intershop is the debut full-length from Cologne producer Olaf Dettinger and one of the foundational statements of Kompakt’s early releases. Long revered by fans of ambient and minimalist electronics, the album helped shape what would later be known as Pop Ambient while sitting beautifully outside any fixed genre.

Across seven slow-burning movements, Intershop simmers with opulent tones, dubbed-out bass drops and rhythms built from hiss, clatter and digital debris. Drones stretch and spiral between gently pulsing beats, creating a deeply immersive, late-night atmosphere that remains timeless, hypnotic and quietly powerful. A landmark reissue that finally brings this classic to vinyl for a new generation.
