various: ten years quintessentials

"Time flies" as the saying goes and indeed it has as Quintessentials celebrates its ten-year anniversary. For a decade this mighty label has been getting some true love and support from all quarters. Listening to the back catalog, most of the tunes still sound fresh and keep the label's famous "deep, raw and real" motto alive. Quintessentials has always been a platform for new talents as well as established artists, and with the likes of Anton Zap, Vakula, Baaz, The Zohar, MCDE, Nicolas, Ugly Drums, Toby Tobias, Borrowed Identity, Mat Chiavaroli, 4004, Soul Of Hex, S3A, Los Goddard, Felipe Gordon, Javonntte, to name but a few, it's an enviable back catalog. This Ten Years Quintessentials compilation offers a wide range of styles: Detroit inspired techno and house, a ruff Chicago stomper, some proper deep house, a disco-ish tool, and crafty beats and basslines all over. Ten Years Quintessentials features Borrowed Identity, Ooft!, KRL, Mat Chiavaroli, S3A, Ugly Drums & Chesney, 4004, and Loz Goddard.
