Slope: Slope is Dope [Sonar Kollektiv]
Slope has always been consistent over the years and never really put a foot wrong. Even though I write that, recently I saw some of his remixes being released and finding myself not giving them a listen. Some of the best tracks on Clara Hill’s album were produced by Slope but again I didn’t quite register, that is until now. This is one album that I went back to again and again over Christmas. With quality remixes from Henrick Schwarz, Meitz, Daz-I-Kue and Afronaught, plus Slope re-works of Fat Freddy’s Drop, 1Luv, Deyampert and Daniel Magg this has finally woken me up to how good Slope is. Yep, he’s dope!
Various Artists: Freshly Composted Vol.2 [Compost Records]
Yes, Compost Records are finally there; 250 releases and thirteen years old, I can’t believe how time flies. I don’t remember seeing their first release in the shops but I remember catching onto these guys pretty early. This compromises some of their recently singles and it’s the kind of compilation I like because I’ve been hammering most of these tracks to death. There is Moodymann’s remix of Ali Tree, Carl Craig’s remix of Beanfield, Todd Terje’s re-work of Felix Laband and Tony Nwachukwu’s remix of Karama, which are all essential. There’s also the added bonus of Soil and Pimps, Ben Mono and Koop. You need this.
