German minimal and techno label Sonata Music will release its first compilation in December, entitled The Prism.

Sonata is run by Brian Sanhaji, a DJ and producer who put out two dozen records on CLR and Enable before founding his own imprint in 2008. Since then he's used Sonata as a platform for like-minded producers such as Franklin De Costa and Monoloc. In terms of style, the label leans toward stripped-down but colorful club tracks, often with a spacious, atmospheric feel. The Prism focuses mostly on new additions to the Sonata stable, including Yapacc, Elef, D.Diggler and the Italian producer Ness. Sanhaji contributes a few of his own productions as well, both under his own name and as Audire. All of the tunes on the compilation are previously unreleased.
