Since its inception way back in 1994, the likes of Moodymann, Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, and Masters At Work - to Ame & Dixon, Henrik Schwarz and Kruder & Dorfmeister - have contributed to Compost Records in some way. With more artists now onboard than you can shake a drumstick at, Michael Reinboth’s label is an endless source for some of the best disco-centric house music, nu-jazz and broken beat out there. With the odd Baeleric and hip hop release too, Compost’s enviable back catalogue also boasts the likes of John Daly and Ripperton (as Headless Ghost) to groups just outside the dancefloor in Automat and Web Web. And with sub-labels like Compost Black and Compost Disco there to service more club-oriented tracks and specific disco fixes - Compost has you covered.
Faith (Medlar & Dele Sosimi remix) - (5:59) 118 BPM

Review: Barcelona-based Arnau Obiols has chalked up releases on such respected labels as Local Talk, Ibadan and Compost, and now returns to the latter in the company of Zurich's KAYYAK. Together they serve up two tracks that draw heavily on 70s Afro-funk for inspiration, with 'Faith' coming with a slightly mellower remix courtesy of Medlar & Dele Sosimi while 'San Diago' gets two rerubs, with Rahaan giving the track a slightly jazzier, more leftfield makeover while Prins Thomas's Diskomix transforms it into a slab of percussive, slo-mo disco. Any/all should go down well on floors where Afro-oriented beats are in demand.
