The shit's hit the fan.
Nico just handed me a advanced promo of a new Geffen Records comp titled
'Infinite beat Vol. I'.
Here's the liner notes:
-----------
Infinite Beat Vol. I
DGCD-A-25144
Infinite Beat Vol. I inaugurates a series of DGC compilations featuring
uptempo breakbeat and drum+bass from London and beyond.
Most of the tracks originated in the U.K. on 12-inch singles issued by
premier U.K. dance labels like No U-turn, Skint and Warp. Snuggles +
Slak's 'the Reckoning,' however, was born in the U.S.A.
Cuts range from the Hardknox's big beat 'Fire Like This':
Squarepushers's jazztinged 'Problem Child'; Shizuo's hardcore 'Sweat';
Nico/Fierce's apocalyptic 'Input'; Skycutter & Kiki Mojo's soulful,
alluring 'Crystal Blue'; and Aphrodite and Mickey Finn's jump-up
drum+bass mix of Alabama 3's 'Woke Up This Morning.' What these diverse
songs share is an aggressive edge and the drive to expand the boundaries
of electronic beat culture.
Serving as executive producers of infinite beat Vol. I were DGC A&R men
Ray Farrell, Mark Kates, Brian Long and Linc Wheeler.
Said Farrell of Infinite Beat Vol. I: 'This is killer stuff. Infinite
Beat covers the most exciting new music out there. These are definitely
some of the most wicked beats you'll hear anywhere.'
