VA - Compost Drum'n'Bass Selection, Vol. 1: Suburban Resident - Liquid Intelligence (Compiled & mixed by Rupert & Mennert and Art-D-Fact) (2024)

In the early days of the Compost Records journey (mid 90's), the label focussed on a large variety of electronic music styles. The (then) groundbreaking drum & bass genre was one of them. Compost released a limited amount of quality drum & bass tunes between the mid 90's and mid 00's. Fauna Flash was one of the well-known Compost-acts that were initially (mostly) active in the drum & bass territory. Art-D-Fact, Rupert & Mennert have selected the best drum & bass tunes from the Compost catalogue and mixed these together in what we call 'themes'. In this selection the themes we used are: Brazilian drum & bass vibes (which was a 'hype' in the first part of the 00's), intelligent/liquid sounds (like LTJ Bukem) and the jazzy & techn'ish alternative (think of Photek's 90's output). The flow of the continuous mix can be - more and less - devided into these three themes. At the end of the mix we added the top quality highlight Suburban Resident by Ben Mono in the iconic Dharma One remix. Again, this selection and continuous mix has been made with respect and love for the music.
