Compilation 06 (Various Artists)

It's that time again... Every summer Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant imprint celebrates another ground-breaking year with a far-reaching collection. Ranging from palpitating ambience to juggernaut technoid trips; the stirring 16-track set features late night creations from old friends (Red Axes, Zombies In Miami, Mike Simonetti, Moscoman) new friends (Simple Symmetry, Perel, Julian Stetter), and friends that have been Correspondant kindred spirits since day one, but have never had the opportunity to cast their magic on the label... until now (Black Merlin, MR TC, Yula Kasp & Mi. Ro). As always, the vibe is deep, smoldering, emotive, innovative, and unapologetically cosmic as you push headfirst into Correspondant's boundary-less soundscape. From the coiled spring funk of Javi Redondo's "Fictional Friendship" to the hypnotic harmonics and trippy vocal textures of Uriah Klapter's "Breeze" via the slinky arpeggiated charm of Marvin & Guy's "Cowboy Disco", it's another sublime excursion from one of the most consistent and considered imprints on the left side of techno. Also features The Golden Filter, Frangie, and Fabrizio Mammarella.
