Various Artists / Art Department - BPM001 Mixed by Art Department

No. 19 Music ist stolz den Release der ersten offiziellen Compilation von Mexikos mega erfolgreichem BPM Festival bekannt geben zu dürfen. Gemixt und zusammengestellt wurde diese von den einzigartigen Art Department, die ihre enge Verbindung mit dem Festival mit einem wirklich außergewöhnlichen Mix zelebrieren. Diese magische Auswahl bietet einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Styles und Sounds, die einem bei dem beliebten kulturellen Event BPM begegnen, alle ausgesucht vom einflussreichen Duo aus Jonny White & Kenny Glasgow.



The BPM Festival itself has become a go-to place for the finest artists and most clued-up clubbers each New Year. Playing out on Playa Del Carmen's world-class beaches, it's a place to relax and recuperate in the company of some of house, techno and electro's essential artists and has been a key date on the dance music calendar for Art Department & No.19 Music for many years.



The mix kicks off with a brace of tracks from German producer Oskar Offerman and sets off a wonderfully deep-seated groove in the process. From there it's a perfectly programmed and tightly woven selection that touches on deftly tousled house from Deniz Kurtel, tracky tech from Boris Horel and plenty of celestial melodies of the sort that have you looking to the sky.



A certain highlight of the mix is the Mind Against 909 Remix of Art Department's own timeless anthem, 'Sun Comes UP, whilst other No 19. Music stars such as Eric Volta and Louie Fresco also appear with essential and unique offerings that really stand out.



There are also some fine artists from a wider sphere enlisted, namely Canadian techno maestro Mathew Jonson with his excellent remix of VCMG, Swiss men Ripperton and Deetron and Innervisions associate Marcus Worgull.



Of course nothing will compare with being at the festival itself, but the captivating BPM001 mixed by Art Department is about as close as you will get to the experience without leaving the comfort of your own hood.
