A while has passed since our last compilation has been released but just in time for the 2011 holiday season Project: Mooncircle and Finest Ego bring you the already fifth edition of our acclaimed compilation series. Shifting focus towards central Europe, we find the three countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Sharing lots of their historical and cultural heritage, this copious collection contains work from producers of a wide range of musical manifestations – all located in the spectrum between traditional sample-based and organic sound to electronic and experimental compositions. Grown up in the nineties with the organic sounds from across the big pond and a long tradition of electronic music in the German speaking world, this compilation showcases the fusion of electronic and classical soulful organic elements in the beat scene. The sound is as diverse as the country and its people, from Spaetzle to Klopse and from HipHop to Techno, on this compilation you can find Boombap from the likes of Brenk & Suff Daddy but also electronic sounds from the likes of Robot Koch and Bit Tuner as well as atmospheric sonical waves from Glenn Astro and Anthony Drawn.
The influences vary from Jazz records, video games, Hip Hop, Drum 'n' Bass and Techno. But are there two different camps clashing here? Retro vs future, mountain village vs urban center, winter vs summer...
The compilation includes acts like Chief, Brenk, Dexter, Mono:Massive, Hulk Hodn, Captain Crook, Stroe, Hubert Daviz, Comfort Fit, Robot Koch, Jazzo & Melodiesinfonie, Quendolin Fender, Ju-Ar, Twit One, Suff Daddy, Figub Brazlevic, Szenario, Portformat, Flowtec, D-Fekt & Mr. Beef, Bit-Tuner, Feux, Kalifornia Kurt, B-Ju, Playpad Circus, Flex Fab, Ill-Luzion, Anthony Drawn, Hazeem, Minor Sick, XL The Red One, Glenn Astro, Frederic Robinson, and Willy Sunshine.
Design by LGB5 x Alexander Brade. A&R: Martin Pohle. Mixed & Mastered by Sven Friederichs.

The sum of this talent leaves you inspired and hankering for these rich musical tapestry's.
So wie es im Moment aussieht, gehört die Zukunft dem Bass. Das hat auch das Label Soul Jazz Records erkannt, darum haben sie ihre für Ende September angekündigte Compilation auch "Future Bass" getauft. Wie das Ganze dann exakt klingen wird, demonstrieren die Exklusivbeiträge von Four Tet, Mala, Untold, Black Chow (Kevin Martin/The Bug’s aktuelles Projekt), Coki und einigen anderen, die sich hingebungsvoll Stilrichtungen wie Post-Dubstep, Post-House etc. widmen. Wir empfehlen ganz besonders das Dreifach-LP-Package in einer Kunststoffverpackung, die zusätzlich Postkarten für ein paar schriftliche Grüße aus der Zukunft enthält. Einfach boooooooombastic, wenn du uns fragst.
Compilations aus dem Hause BBE lassen sich größenteils doch blind kaufen. Diese goldene Regel wird auch im nächsten Teil der "Kings of..."-Reihe nicht durchbrochen, die sich diesmal mit dem Thema Drum'n'Bass auseinandersetzt und im Februar auf Doppel-CD oder 3fach-LP erscheinen wird. 4Hero und DJ Marky bestreiten auf jeweils einer CD die Selektion und offenbaren höchst unterschiedliche Ansätze. Zur Preorder geht es hier entlang...
Die Tracklist gibt es nach dem Sprung...
