COMP 415CD
|
This is the fifth installment in the Compost Black Label Series -- unveiling some of the finest cuts in the label's recent history in a versatile DJ mix crafted by Compost family member Thomas Herb, who built a strong reputation as a DJ when it's about merging soul-injected house, techno and disco into a musical journey. Featuring winner tunes and remixes by Phreek Plus One, Osunlade, Woolfy, DJ T., and Rainer Trueby. Herb also highlights the work of new breeds like Emil Seidel, Philipp Stoya and Emilie Nana, who have all contributed high-quality tunes on the Black Label. Thomas kicks things off with some proper nu-school vibes until he smoothly blends Balearic and disco-influenced territories -- then somehow he's already in the middle of "Holland Tunnel," the New Jersey-styled tune by Muallem, opening our mind's eye for the glittering skyline of Manhattan and our ears for this music called house. Herb subsequently throws in some decent rave signals without losing his fluent, elegant style that he carefully morphs into an old school Chicago vibe. The set closes with Lukas Bohlender's beautiful string-laden emo-houser "Club Chateâu." Apart from storytelling, Thomas Herb put some extra focus on adding a warm, hand-crafted, dynamic live-vibe -- and he succeeds big time with this sophisticated little bastard of a DJ-mix. Limited edition, hand-numbered gatefold PocketPac. Other artists include: Rey & Kjavik, Joash, Johnwaynes, TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos, Marbert Rocel, Show-B, Dima Studitzky, Classic VIV & Lawaetz, and Jay Shepheard.
