After Versatile's first compilation ten years ago, the French electronic label returns and still surprises. Versatile is a rarity. A label that succeeded in creating a unique identity that puts instinct before genre. The high standards set by Versatile's boss, Gilb'R, remain intact. Trends come and go, the wind changes now and again, but rather than following the crowds along a given and inevitably ephemeral path, Versatile takes to the open road and allows its artists to release the kind of music they hold dear. Joakim, I:Cube, Chateau Flight and Zombie Zombie have made the most of this creative environment and this uncompromising artistic direction has let them gravitate towards the music they love -- music that's original, wild, elegant, mystical, quirky and a fertile mix of so much more. Truly engaging music is becoming an increasingly difficult feat these days, but what makes Versatile's music vibrate is their belief that good music simply deserves to exist even if it doesn't square with today's market. Rediscover here a heritage, from early American dance music to French and German experimentation, both the popular and the intellectual. After retracing Versatile's steps, you'll be dying for more. Artists include Quixote, Poni Hoax, DJ Ringardos, Etienne Jaumet, Texas Rangers, Fabrice Lig, The Cave Bear Cult and Karma.
