John Creamer & Stephane K: Compiled & Mixed
With its promises of a wealth of "unnamed, exclusive, and unreleased tracks", and with tracks like their massive remix ofKosheen's "Hide U" and Creamer & Quick's saucy "Fuck Sonnet" paving the way nicely, this first "proper" Bedrock mix comp from Creamer and K is set to blow up big. Adopting the same no-holds-barred vibe that the pair are known to push on dance floors the world over, this is pure aural stimulation. Disc 1 starts with Peace Division's "The Voice" before moving into Sholan's deep, textured "Can You Feel," and then heading into more pumping territory with Fafa Manteca's cruising "SOS EP," Milo's dark and juicy "Jungle of Mirror," and Dan K's unhinged "Grace." Disc 2 opens in impressive tribal style with 4 Toaster's "Real World Pt. 2" and keeps up the momentum with the heavy unreleased dub of Against the Grain's "Seven," G Pal's "Ocean of Blue," BlH3's "Marscarter" Mousse T's dub ofKim English's "Supernatural" andDanny Tenaglia's "Hambone Wow" served up as a final, thrilling course. If it's a super-duper double dose of ultraheavy tribal twisters you're seeking, this may do the trick.--Paul Sullivan
