Swayzak, rather like Orbital, have striven to express their deeply chunky selves within strict limits by sticking to their unique sound palettes, namely dub-house crafted with the rnest detail. This dope double tech-house DJ set goes deep into their record collection to offering a forward-looking set of influential experimental beats that you would be hard-pressed to accumulate on your own, and reflect off of some of the material that has them compared with both Peace Division and Circulation. You can go around the world in two hours.

This 2 cd compilation is totally awsome if you're not looking for a perfect mixing. Each track in this one is beautiful and high quality. They chose the best tracks of Ellen Allien and Bergheim 34, put Basic Channel's one rare track then they play dark but superp Crawling & Hungry by Convextion instead of playing Convextion like some other artists put their mix compilations. Goes and goes...Definitally worth to have it. Today minimal music is still trying to be stood alive but they aren't worth listening or collection or even followin between next to the ones from that period.

I first bought this release expecting a more electro, electro-pop oriented music and was at first disappointed. But a second listen gave me a crash course in minimal and I was hooked. This is minimal at its best with a healthy dose of funky and groovy additives. The mixing is nothing special - actually the tracks merely overlap for a few seconds. But the track selection is second to none. Terrific. 9/10. (I also strongly recomend Craig Richards' "Fabric 15" and with some reservations Akufen's "Fabric 16" release.)
