VA - Desolat X Sampler (Purple)

Desolat’s 
third
 edition 
of 
its 
Christmas
 sampler
 is 
a 
bumper
 tribute
 to 
a 
year 
of
 fine
 music, where undoubtly "Patio de Juegos" from Guti pinpointed the year
 and 
is 
arguably
 its 
best
 edition
 to 
date and in one of Desolat best years.
 With
 this 
many
 goodies 
included, mirroring an incredible year for Desolat,
you
 won’t 
need
 to 
look 
under 
the
 tree 
for 
anything 
else!
Desolat
 assembled 
some 
stellar 
talents
 for
 this 
compilation, but even better, interstellar tracks starting with Desolat
 co-owner
 Martin 
Buttrich himself,
who 
teams 
up 
with 
Davide 
Squillace
 on 
a 
power 
session
 of
 polished 
grooves and xylophonic frequencies; 
to 
the 
promising
 pairing
 of 
up
 & 
coming
 London
 DJ
 and 
producer
 Hector
 with
 Alexkid 
on 
a 
slice 
of 
finely 
observed 
and 
bittersweet
 deephouse. 
Rising
 talent
 Anthea, mostly known for tunes along with Alex Celler (Anthea & Celler) 
also
 makes
 an 
appearance, 
offering
 soul-drenched
 vocal
 shards
 on
 a 
heart-breaking 
experimental house
 tune 
by 
versatile
 Argentinean 
Guti,
 replete
 with
 addictive 
bassline.
 Reboot 
steps
 up 
with 
the
 sprawling
 and
 catchy 
14 
minute
 analogue jam
 that’s 
sure 
to 
slay
 dancefloors not only in the silly season. If all the tracks and artists listed before already made it juicy, Reboot's "Daddy" is one of those tracks that usually sticks like glue in the listeners memory and never leaves again, thankfully due to a variable "flute", it's like we're the snake and Reboot haves the power to enchant. Perfect tune.
Two
 tracks 
are 
aimed 
especially
 at 
those 
who 
like 
to 
throw 
shapes:
 straight 
outta 
NYC, following 
remarkable
 releases
 and
 remixes
 on 
Shelter’s
 Restricted 
and
 Un-Restricted
 Access,
Yoruba 
or 
Simple
Sound,
 Filsonik
 comes
 good
 on 
a 
shimmying 
jam
 with
 shades of 
Chicago
house, 
while 
Funk
 E 
steps 
out 
of
 the
 shadows
 with
 an 
effervescent 
cut 
that 
plays
 with
 hip
house
 and
 electro
 atmospheres.
 Meanwhile 
Danny
 Ocean
 returns 
after
 “Lights 
In
 My
 Dark
 World”
 with
 a
 thoroughly 
contemporary 
and
 elegant
 take
 on 
some of
 those
 sounds 
that 
made
 up 
the 
hey day
 of 
90's 
techno. There’s
 plenty
 to
 celebrate 
round 
the 
Desolat
 offices,
 and
 2012
 looks
 set
 to 
be
 a 
corker.

After an excellent 2011, we can expect nothing less from Desolat!!
Even if lost in Christmas sweets, this is a release that deserved its proper space in minimaland suitcase. Highly recommended by its quality and variety of shakes and grooves!
