va - contemporary culture convention compilation iv (everest/randomacoustics)

this is the first release that i’m reviewing from this label. exactly the first release that i’m getting in touch with from everest records which means that i didn’t have any idea about their sound before this moment. the name of the compilation is ‘contemporary culture convention compilation iv’, and sometimes the name is just enough to help you get an idea about their sound. this name fully shows the intention of the compilation and it is really an index of what is inside. generally we can say that the content is contemporary electronic sound in various directions, mostly melodic and rhythmic variations from it. from idm and instrumental hip hop/break combinations, deep and slow housey variations to pure alternative hip hop moments and ambiental/clicks n cuts production. from this compilation i can highlight the track of agnes named ‘tedoua, mace’ that irresistibly reminds of jan jelinek’s work of course this is all positive. than i would like to mention track ‘weardless’ by babychlor that when i listened to i had a feeling that i know it very well, but have no idea where from. the hip hop manner is incorporated into the track ‘time capsule‘ by en sayne. good rhythms, rhymes and mcing. as a whole this is another compilation that wants to present some particular choice of contemporary electronic music, music that has already been presented with many compilations and releases so far, so obviously its intention is not to bring something revolutionary and inventive but simply to present part of the scene again, into a different direction with a different choice, new artists and tracks. presenting a part of the scene again through nice tracks and music.
