Originally appearing on Kompakt’s Total 3 in 2001, Jürgen Paape’s So Weit Wie Noch Nie stands as one of the label’s most beloved and timeless releases - a radiant blend of schlager sentiment and Cologne minimalism that continues to lift spirits more than two decades on.

This freshly repressed 12” includes the reworked original alongside two remarkable remixes. Frankfurt’s club visionary Ata (Playhouse) delivers his first remix since Holy Garage (1993), transforming the track into a sleek, late-night disco-house burner worthy of Larry Levan’s floor. Olaf Dettinger, one of Kompakt’s founding architects of pop ambient, steps in with the serene Moonlight Mix - a tender, ethereal reimagining that pairs Sonja Luebke’s angelic vocals with shimmering hi-tech warmth.

A perfect encapsulation of Kompakt’s golden era - elegant, emotional, and irresistibly timeless.
