various: edm a2

as the title suggests, the music on this CD is electric dance music. Or electronic dance music, if you prefer. The music here is presented by a brand-new European imprint, set on maintaining a low profile but bringing together its favorite artists from various established labels as well as fresh new talent. All the music is made with computers as well as hardware synthesizers and effects. This first CD compilation represents the first of 26 releases in the set. The beats range from about 130 BPM to 180 BPM. This is music for dancing and more besides. Some have compared it to the music of Squarepusher, Underground Resistance, Drexciya, and Aphex Twin, and labels such as Warp, Planet Mu, and Rephlex -- but this is a very rough approximation. Such subjects of comparison vary enough already, without considering the bonus intensely ambient set you will find towards the end of the album. Sterling work -- bring on the next volume. Artists include: Submerged Pulsar, Black Narcissus, Rob Kidley, J.K., Jidomatix, Steel Erector, Co Mendez, Numerology Songs, Heidi Lord, +10 and Trevor Dags.
