Review: Originally released as an ultra-limited cassette, this compilation from the Blaq Numbers crew was created to raise money for a children's hospice in the label's home city of Leipzig. While titled Ordinary Pleasures, it contains some extraordinary material. Beginning with the blunted R&B of Albert Vogt and the head-nodding hip-hop of Imaginary Friend and Donnie Moustaki, the 19-track set slickly moves between synth-laden nu-boogie (George John), dense sample house (Last Nubian), future garage (KG), post-electro analogue house oddness (Sianso), psychedelic shufflers (Janthe), vocal trip-hop (Meggy & Malugi), Dam Funk style synth-funk (Dukus), piano-sporting proto-house-meets-deep house fusion (DJ Detox), sleazy late-night workouts (Jana Falcon) and superior deep house (Workshop, Lootbeg). Fantastic fare for a great cause.
