Eskimo, Vol. 5

This is the fifth volume in the Eskimo label's namesake Eskimo mix series. Eskimo Volume V is curated and compiled by top Belgian DJs, The Glimmers and continues the leftfield dancefloor assault that the pair's first release for Eskimo Recordings did in 2000. Now some seven years later, Eskimo has gone from strength to strength with mix CDs from Optimo, Ivan Smagghe, Headman, Prins Thomas, Radio Slave, Rub N Tug, Recloose, Chromeo and DJ Naughty. Much respected for compiling the highly-acclaimed Eskimo, Culture Club and Serie Noire mix albums as well as mix excursions for Fabric and !K7's DJ-Kicks, The Glimmers present another outstanding mix compilation as they return to their Eskimo roots. From gold-plated divas to tripped-out rock n' rollers and forgotten Euro-pop nuggets to world music stompers, The Glimmers show US how to dig a little bit deeper while still retaining the heartbeat of the dancefloor. Eskimo Volume V features 19 timeless tracks by such diverse names as Shirley Bassey, Primal Scream, Herb Alpert, LCD Soundsystem, Eugene Record, Trio, Tussle, the Caravan and The Glimmers themselves. This compilation comes in Eskimo's trademark unique luxury packaging, this time with a jewel case featuring a silk-screened print on both sides. Other artists include: Venus Gang, Mac Attack, Dissidenten, Pop Dell'Arte, Kenneth Bager, Cultural Vibe, Pleasure Pump, Das Etwas, Patrick Coutin and Dachambo.
