Cool Hunting
Hailing from Germany's southern wine country, Compost Records has spent the past 11 years perfecting and then re-inventing their recipe for releasing some of the most sought-after and intoxicating independent left-field club music. Dispensing with tired cliches like nu-jazz, brazil-electro or downtempo, Compost's forward-thinking compilation series "Future Sound of Jazz", "Soulsearching", "Glücklich" and "I Like It" have continuously set the mark for high quality dance music that defies easy categorization.
To celebrate their 200th release, Compost 200 presents a splendid tasting of recent vinyl offerings from underground remix artist favorites Alex Attias, Beanfield, Domu, Intuit, Trüby Trio, Laurent Garnier, Henrick Schwarz, and more as well as a sampling of upcoming album material from new artists Alif Tree, Jean-Paul Bondy, Muallem and Ben Mono.
Stand outs include the opening fabulously cheeky disco funk hooks of "Protection (Sirius Mo Remix)" by Ben Mono and Bajka, and the wicked cosmic funk of "Transmission" by Ben Mono and Capitol A, as well as the total dance floor scorcher "10,000 Leagues Deeper (Laurent "Laboratoire" Garnier Remix) by Alex Attias, Bembe Segue & Mustang and the brokenbeat madness of Domu's remix of "Shamed" by Eddie Meets Yannah. This is a perfect compilation for any impromptu holiday party after-party, makes an excellent stocking stuffer in its special CD packaging, and is available at the iTunes store as well.

Bleep has released a free MP3 EP to toast the new year for all registered users: Bleep Oh Six. It's a truly eclectic selection, as one might expect from Bleep, covering everything from cheeky roller-rink electro funk (Jimmy Edgar's "My Beats" and National Trust's "It's Just Cruel"), to surgically doctored indie-rock (Battles' "IPT2"), to acid techno shenanigans (Kero's "untitled (On Acid Again") and even...
You know the feeling you get when you throw a DJ mix on your portable device for the first time and on your way out the door—even before you've adjusted the headset and locked the door behind you—you know you've got the perfect soundtrack to rock out and paint the town infrared? I've had FabricLive: The Herbaliser on infinite loop on my iPod for...
Following the stunning "Remixes 1997-2000," the eclectic album of originals "In Between," "In Between Remixed" and the dancefloor approved dj mix "Mixing," the Berlin-based six-member collective Jazzanova presents "The Remixes 2002-2005," a compilation of released, unreleased and brand new—if you haven't guessed it—remixes. Though shorter in number of tracks by far to the original "Remixes" collection, this new edition does not skimp on quality....
The Melvins have been around forever. I mean, Kurt Cobain tried out to be their bassist and supposedly got so nervous he forgot all the songs. Heavily influenced (no pun intended) by Black Flag and Black Sabbath, the Melvins’ experimentally-tinged amalgam of early hardcore and stoner sludge has in turn inspired some of the most successful and revered bands on the heavier end of...
Surprisingly useful, these pillow speakers have the potential to transform sleeping experiences. Rather than getting up to adjust the volume or sleeping supine to accommodate headphones, with these two different systems listening is comfortable and changing volume is easy. Most importantly, sleeping partners will be undisturbed by your canned lullabies. From earplug specialists Sensorcom, the first of the models involves wrapping a belt-like band...
