| · "If you’ve ever existed in grids or swerves you know that London swings, New York is a grid. Chicago swings. Bombay is a grid. Delhi swings..."
This utterly charming compilation is a celebration of the 100th release by the trend-setting Six Degrees label, which has single-handedly redefined the world-electronic genre. Wally Brill contributes his ethereal nothings-gonna-stop-the-flow "A Loop In Time" intricately back masked by master mixers Banco de Gaia who also supply their own radio edit of "I Love Baby Cheesy." Sensual synth and snippets of dialogue fulfill Six Degrees’ musical destiny, tuned to an unerring electronic pulse and soaring Arabic vocals. Aimed at a jet-set audience with a sophisticated sonic palate, Six Degrees 100 elevates electronic music beyond its repetitive car-alarm rave status, and takes it to the next level – global con-fusion.
The delicious reciprocity of Bhangra beats and exotic surges drive this montage into the future with a multicultural flare. Suba, DJ Cheb i Sabbah, Michael Franti, Bobi Cespedes, Karsh Kale and Euphoria are all here – just waiting for you to press play!
A REASONABLY PRICED 5/5
