Ôlillygood party!Õ is the brand new bbe compilation from highly respected swiss dj alex attias. taking its name from a party he runs in his native lausanne, lillygood has gradually evolved into a radio show and even a label, now on its 4th release. refecting the music he plays at the clubnight, Ôlillygood party!Õ is packed with funk, disco, deep house and boogie bullets from across the globe. Òthe idea is to present not only rare or difcult tracks to fnd, simply good grooves for people to play out, or listen to at home.Ó
from rare japanese disco gems, through spiritual jazz, to genre defying sounds from broken-beat cohorts kaidi tatham and dego, Ôlillygood party!Õ takes a unique trip inside the musical mind of one of dance musicÕs true nonconformists.
alex attias got his start in back in Õ88 playing funk, house, jazz, and disco, as well as producing under various monikers such as mustang, freedom soundz or beatless. moving to london in Õ97 he started his ÔvisionsÕ label and found himself at the epicentre of the emerging west london Ôbroken beatÕ scene which grew around his studio at goya. releases on people, planet e, ubiquity, neroli, archive and compost followed, as well as remixes for incognito, 4hero, ennio morricone, sun ra, art blakey, roni size and laurent garnier among others.
