Compost on a role , you got the outstanding Koop LP, so watch out for more awesome albums out of Munich/ Berlin this year: Jazzanova & Joseph Malik albums are arround on promo CD and even The Trüby Trio is in the studio!
Music is our sanctuary, music is our life, be prepared for OUR 2nd album by the end of the year ,too.
Next is a new LES GAMMAS 12" called "outra vida" (featured on the Compost 100 compilation) with excellent new d+b flavoured mixes by our mates Eddy+Dus (Kontrapunkt,Zagreb) and by DJ Patife , Sao Paolo. Sambassim! mixes finally have arrived, so expect the release on Compost Records in the next weeks.

more soulful bounce to the ounce via West London. Dominic, the hardest working man in biz...uplifting!

more drum+ bass pressure via Brasil. beautiful balearic vocal jazz d+b that reminds me a bit of the best moments of......the Special AKA.

what a tuff job to remix one of last years biggest tunes! But Mr Kruder never fails: here´s a subtile detroitish new school classic , big on all floors soon!

quality Italian label with an open eye for the Future. The man behind Zest with another top notch rmx, detroit style .

finally, the original arrived! 4 hero still sounds so good, but don´t miss to check the Blaze rmx´s as well.

Finnland´s finest with some quality stuff on the way! Album comes in May, a big one for the chicago label!

Yes, our man Q-Tip is back! Former Tribe called Quest rapper on his next level. Cool.
