9.3

/Chill out, Trip-hop, Breaks, Nu jazz, Hip-hop, Cinematic, Electronic pop, Poptronica, Urban music/

Comment: this batch of 16 tracks comes out of Denmark where has been in charge such label as Greased Up for a while. It is the records` second compilation featuring such artists as Fenger Sway, Hvadkant, Soundtale, Mokjibake, Rewolmer, Zack Christ, Stacks, Sykofant, CRLF, Eloq, Jongpadawan, Fontomi, Roger Beattaker, Syllestruck, Spejderrobot X Shatter Hands, QOΔST & Hors. Stylistically it used to swirl around a little bit smoky but uplifting broken beats and wobbling, organic electronic explorations in the most cases, though, frequently the miscellany does reveal its more psychedelic, spacey and whimsical furors (there are presented such examples as folk-induced and heavily blissed-out electronica, distorted hip-hop numbers, sample-based sunshiny drifts, robot-driven electronic pop). All in all, the compositions are craftily elaborated and not overstated worth to be listened to it again and again evermore.
