I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys that listening to the compilations so many electronic record labels release periodically to showcase their recent output is an immensely helpful tool for finding new music. Therefore I'm posting this in an effort to help myself and my fellow RMers discover some good new music and hopefully stimulate some discussion in the process.

So if you've found a label compilation of electronic music (regardless of sub-genre) that's been released in the past year or so that you'd recommend post it here. Feel free to include any descriptions, tracks that stood out to you, or whatever other thoughts you have about it.

Excuse me while I interrupt this discussion about compilations (and everyone knows just how much I love those!)....but even though I know you shouldn't have been in the area in question today....good to see you're still above ground, Brothaman!



You can no return to your regularly scheduled compilation discussion.

yeah, that was far far south Alabama, I believe. thanks

I'm lucky to go the 3 miles to work back and forth much less leave the county

(i'm not terribly fond of compilations either, but have used them to discover artists in the past)

In general I'm not big on compilations either, but EM label comps are an exception.
