News added 23rd November 2006  With 70+ releases, 40+ remixes and 75+ compilation appearances and still counting in under 4 years, prolific would be an understatement to one of today's youngest and most invigorating producers in dance music today - John Dahlbäck. On January 29th 2007 he is set to release his next artist album. This time under the HUG guise. It's only natural when one of 90's Techno's most copious musicians and Kompakt co-owner Wolfgang Voigt struck a personal affinity to John Dahlbäck when he reached out to Kompakt
under his new techno alias HUG. At that point, a new imprint (aptly titled K2) was being developed in attempts to bring a truest form of minimal techno back to the Kompakt fold - Dahlbäck had found a versatile method to create playful, melodic but tremendously functional minimal techno for what would become his first EP “The Angry Ghost” for K2 (and the 2nd release for the imprint). Now with 4 singles under his belt for the imprint as HUG, Dahlbäck's releases have helped build the identity (and successes) of K2 so therefore it's fitting that he be the first musician to
deliver the first full length commemorating an artist from the imprint. “Heroes” is not a collection of these 12” singles (though the album features 2 favorites “Raido” and “Birds” previously released on K2) but a tremendously adherent album that reflects the full-sounding nature of his HUG project in a heterogeneous fashion - analog meets digital in the most fundamental of ways.
