When I think of Germany and electronic music I often think of the robotic sounds of Kraftwerk or the pummeling tracks of techno of the 90s. When I think of Germany I don\u2019t think of electronic music that blends jazz elements with house and r&b that will either shake your ass or seduce you. I admit it\u2019s a stereotype but there you have it. Well, I believed that until I came across Compost Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Compost Records was founded in 1994 by Michael Reinboth and in the last 14 years Michael has released music from some of the most talented artists around. Beanfield<\/a>, Tr\u00c3\u00bcby Trio<\/a>, Jazzanova<\/a>; these are just some of the dynamic talent that Compost records represents.<\/p>\n

On today\u2019s show we\u2019ll talk with Michael and find out where his love affair with r&b, jazz, funk and soul began and how his career as a music journalist led to launching Compost Records. And, of course, will accompany our conversation with Michael with select tracks from the roster of artists on his label.<\/p>\n

What better way to get your groove on?<\/p>\n
