As a storied label emerging from hibernation, Ostgut Ton faces the dilemma of honoring its famed past while proving necessary in the present. In many ways, this compilation is a careful balancing act. It leans into the label’s history of curating both techno darkness and house light, which will delight those who long for a return of that Ostgut feeling. At the same time, more globally diverse and stylistically varied contributors acknowledge a subtle nudge, at least laterally, beyond the Berlin core.
