Review: Ten years ago, Eskimo Recordings emerged from Ghent, as an outlet for mix albums from hometown heroes the Glimmers. Since then, the label has gone on to be a leading light on the nu-disco and nu Balearic scenes. Fittingly, this expansive tenth anniversary set was put together by the Glimmers, and features two solo DJ mixes featuring label highlights aplenty. For DJs, the real bonus is the huge selection of unmixed tracks on display, which adeptly showcases the depth and variety of the label's output. Highlights are plentiful, from the woozy Scandolearic vibes of Lindstrom & Prins Thomas and brilliance of early Aeroplane, to the sun-bright dream pop of Hiem, and the bouncing dancefloor groovery of LHAS Inc.
Review: When Guns N Roses welcomed everyone to the jungle all those years ago they promised fun and games. That's fine and dandy but these days a jungle welcoming requires a little more substance... Like stacks of crucial forefront D&B jungle tracks and a vibe that feels like you've spent 3 days straight raving at the Roller Express. And this crew of new-gen heroes - Toby Ross, 4K, Oram and Rise - are the guys to deliver those stacks. Like all previous Jungle Cakes Welcome To The Jungle mix compilations, the selection is diverse and covers all shades and styles from unreleased gold to undisputed classics. All the tracks are available in their full length glory and there's a mix to boot. Trust us, no one is doing it like Jungle Cakes right now. And no one is doing it like Toby Ross, 4K, Oram and Rise too for that matter. One of the best editions so far!
