A gas generator, a hi-fi system, a semi-abandoned house, and 20 hastily printed flyers. That's how, almost without realizing it, Lapsus was born in 2004. Over the course of two decades, the label has ridden a rollercoaster of emotions: from soaring epiphanies, convinced that nothing could stop them, to moments of near defeat when they almost threw in the towel. Making a career out of music is not exactly choosing the easy path. But epic tales aside, today Lapsus look back with pride at having created something that is genuine. To celebrate Lapsus' journey and what lies ahead -- and also keeping an eye on what is yet to come -- Lapsus has gathered some of the artists who have joined along the way, musicians they consider friends and for whom they have the deepest admiration. In a way, VINT (Catalan for "twenty") is like a sonic photo album, a tracklist that tells Lapsus' story better than they could themselves, a collection of unreleased music that celebrates the fact that they've made it this far. Leading this outstanding compilation are forward-thinking producers, with contributions from some of the most respected names in cutting-edge electronic music: CLARAGUILAR, GAZZI, Kettel, Kode9, Le Motel, Lord Of The Isles, Marina Herlop, naemi, Nueen, Pépe, Plaid, Seph, Simo Cell, Suzanne Ciani, Wordcolour, and µ-Ziq.
