Lithuanian netlabel Sutemos released this fine compilation early December. It features four outstanding, mostly minimal tracks by some well known producers.
It is a real surprise to see German Monolake starting this compilation as they have never released on a netlabel before. Though if I am not wrong Bicom is an older track already being released in 2001. Anyway, it is great minimal techno. Very enjoyable.
Next is SCSI-9, a Russian duo many will know from various releases on such well know labels as Kompakt and Force Tracks. The End is a very uplifting tech house track and the most danceable track on this compilation.
Another Russian duo is Sleepy Town Manufacture who slow down the speed and offer a very minimal track that even borrows elements of ambient music. Very reduced, very good.
This compilation is completed by Icelandic producer Yagya whose track A Thousand Words is in a similar mood as its predecessor. Maybe even more on the ambient side of electronic music.
Sutemos have released another excellent compilation and it has been a relaxed way to start the new year this afternoon. Highly recommended.
