Songs For Endless Cities, Vol. 1

K7-affiliated label COOL IN THE POOL opens it's account with a state of the art compilation from 24 year old Londoner, Brackles.

He can live with the "post dubstep" moniker, but his first commercially available mix album gives US a better snapshot of where this buzzing, vibrant scene is going than any scene name could hope to do. "Songs for Endless Cities? aims to capture a slice of Brackles after hours and out of hours, with the afterglow still burning - it's a mix for the mind and the soul as much as the body, and it comes from a legion of musical influences.
