From the press release:

quote:
Culprit's first Various Artists compilation has had a two-year genesis. "Above The City" is a meticulously assembled collection providing a sonic blueprint to a maturing label realizing its musical identity. Joined by the same idea and feeling are some of the most promising young producers around - from Los Angeles' own Clovis and Nikko Gibler, Londoners Marc Chambers & Soho, Leeds' rising stars Death on The Balcony through to the Italian contingent of Lula Circus and Nico Lahs, anchored by the experience of label old friends Lee Curtiss & Seth Troxler and Anthony Collins.

Deliberately released at the tail-end of the label's summer rooftop party season, Culprit Sessions, this collection embodies the atmosphere of the imprint's revered Sunday afternoon rooftop parties. A few golden hours of revelry, betwixt day and night, where friends, lovers and music take on ethereal warmth. The release of "Above The City" is a poignant conclusion to and celebration of Culprit's most exciting party season to date.

"Above The City's" track order is sequenced to provide a snapshot of an imagined Culprit Sessions soundtrack. A musical guide to the progression of a Sunday afternoon party, which starts out eclectic and jazzy, moves through to deep and dubby, before picking up energy as the dancefloor fills.

Culprit's vibe is one that has resonated with producers around the world. Some are new to Culprit and have never traveled to LA, others have played Culprit's parties and been frequent guests of the label. But all have taken inspiration from Culprit and channeled this in their own unique ways. The result is a compilation of tracks flush with individuality, that collectively evoke the close of a California summer.

The only thing you guys like about this is that Clovis sounds like a crackhead? Good to know :p

I, for one, am getting busy on that Nikko Gibler track. Boooomb.

Death On The Balcony is gonna be mega, definitely keep an ear out for them. They have lots of good stuff in the pipeline.
