What is it that we love about compilations? That feeling of delving into the unknown? The hope of discovering some new, mind-blowing act that otherwise would have escaped your radar? That mix of comfort zone familiarity along with new surprises? All of the above!
And while the golden age of compilations may be behind us in the Digital Age, SoCal promoters Modern.Wav have recaptured some of that magic with a vinyl-only release of dance floor-friendly bangers.
Southern California is well represented with the likes of Matte Blvck, Author & Punisher, Spike Hellis, HEALTH, and Void Palace. Additionally, old favorites like Clan of Xymox contribute as well.
Personally, I like the flow of these songs from one to the other. These ten tracks could easily be a DJ set in itself.
Modern.Wav have other limited edition vinyl-only releases that will be covered in due time. For now, enjoy this collection dark electronic gems.
