After two years of existence, New York's L.I.E.S. Records has transformed itself from a bedroom label into one of the more interesting and diverse labels in the world of modern underground electronic music. CD1 of this double CD compiles and documents some of the label's early moments, showcasing out-of-print tracks by Legowelt, Terekke, Steve Moore, Two Dogs In A House, and Bookworms, to name a few, showcasing the broad yet cohesive spectrum of styles the label has worked within. The second disc is comprised of ALMOST all new and unreleased material from the label's current pool of talent, with tracks by the likes of newcomer Delroy Edwards, Mutant Beat Dance's Beau Wanzer, cult figure Terekke, early label contributor Marcos Cabral and more. Through and through, this compilation captures where the label has been and gives a glimpse of where it may go in the future. Package comes with two UNMIXED CDs ready for DJ play or at-home listening. Artwork by Björn Copeland of Black Dice. Other artists include: Jahiliyya Fields, Maximillion Dunbar, Torn Hawk, Svengalisghost, Vapauteen, Bonquiqui, Xosar and Professor Genius.
