Release Notes
This second chapter, also compiled by MattB, presents 10 of the most interesting
producers in the electronic scene today. MattB once again decided not
to follow an easy trend, instead opting to deliver a diverse yet incredibly
cohesive showcase of what is the state of electronic music in 2008. This
sequel begins with emerging London-based producer Rico Casazza, well known
in the minimal techno scene. He starts off the compilation with a dark
and deep track, full of bright, stone melodies mixed with lazy ambiences
and industrial noises. German producer Vakuum Sounds follows that up with
the minimal, dubby, hypnotic track Khaskhas-Schlafmohn. LA producer Nalepa
is next with his patented brand of ambient glitch dub. For the few who
still don't know NSE (Original Dub Soundsystem since 1996), here is a
perfect example of what to expect from his typical productions: a fusion
of Jamaican-style engineering with futuristic, psychoactive dubstep elements.
RND (aka RaNDom) reworked one of their new album tracks and turned it
into a glitch-dub anthem. Jambassa continues the journey, exploring some
serious Digital Dub. He's followed by Disrupt, pioneer of Digital Laptop
Reggae (DLR) from the seminal label Jahatari. Vibesquad's track is next,
a soulful bass wobbler with some wicked melodies, dirty and beautiful
as life itself. French producer Melodium successfully combines elements
of pop electronica and folk songs into his own unique blend of folktronica.
The compilation closes with Greek Opium by Papa Legba (aka Pete Pan, Celestial
Dragon's other label dj), a track loaded with aural soundscapes supercharged
by psy noises and distant melodies.
