This double album from Tokyo Dawn records is totally rammed to the brim with corking instrumental’s, slow jamz, sultry soul, fat hip-hop and adult house vibes.
\nWith a whopping 35 tracks spread over 2CD’s – this really is what a quality value compilation is all about.
\nThe first cut focuses more on the down tempo side – but don’t get me wrong, this is down-tempo not downbeat. There is the experimental beat process of the ‘Radiobugs’ side by side with the bumping tones of ‘The Tape Vs RQM’. The blissed out ‘Jumper’ by Spencer Doran is so short and sweet you could almost miss it, and the track by ‘Causes & Forces’ sounds like its been lifted from some classic Blaxploitation movie.
\nThe second slab is a more housey affair, lots of low-slung 4\/4 drums for those 4 a.m. moments or back room warm-ups. Some of the tracks sound like a cross pollination of noises from Herbert and Charles Webster’s studio’s. The more ‘well-known’ artists appear on this second slice with tracks by the excellent Henrik Schwarz and Maddslinky along with Tokyo Dawn favourites Comfort Fit.
\nThis label really knows how to compile a very audible album, which I would definitely recommend to the discerning listener who likes their beats slightly altered and not from the mainstream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
