Info: After one and a half decade and more than 350 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums.  The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.  Now it’s time for the genre that defined the labels beginning: Downbeat. The compilers of this mix are two happy faces who go by the name of Rupert & Mennert. The same two, who compiled the „V.A. – Compost Jazz Selection Vol.1“ of this series. But as they say… ‘we just love every inch of Compost, genres don’t matter for us. We like it all. So they dug in their Expedits to gather the . . . →

Format: 2-LP / CD / Download

Quotes: Essential purchase for anyone keen to hear quality modern interpretations off the good groove.  Straight No Chaser

Info: The Party-Keller compilation series is a project linked to my constant Munich-based clubnights. After some short journeys to the Japanese Soultage label (Soul Jammin’ Vol.3) and a mix for London-based Breakin Bread (The Party-Keller Mix CD), we have finally reached Vol. 3.

In the late Seventies direct-to-disc albums were quite popular, since they sound great and people spent some serious dough on proper hi-fi equipment in those days. We actually coupling four amazing cuts from three different direct-to-disc albums here: Mickey Erbe’s Orchestra interpretation of the „2001 Theme“ (which I’ve played very often in the early Nineties, I almost forgot how good it is), then two superb Gino Dentie’s interpretations of B.T. Express’ „Express“ and Brass Construction’s „Movin’“, as well as Rahmlee (Michael Davis) from . . . →

Quotes: The best so far in the elaste-series! Incredibly spellbounding neodisco-grooves with excellent nods towards electro! Superb! Jukka Hannukainen aka DJ Flux / Huge classics!! Love as always Take A Chance! DJ Rocca / I love that oldscool sound! Magda Finally! I’ve been waiting for a new installment of this super compilation series since I got my hands on Elaste Vol. 2 compiled by Tom Wieland. Vol. 3. not only keeps up with the quality of the previous installments but also takes it into another direction. Well done! Bag Of Goodies

Info: Three years has gone by since the last Elaste compilation. In this time the virus of cosmic disco (or afrofunky as they say in Italy) has spread round the place – giving me lots of good feedback and fan-letters. Thank you! I have spent these three years looking for more avantgardistic, galactic sounding disco, proto-techno, electronic new wave, and cheesy slow motion pop… and . . . →
