christmas is a time for people to come together. in that tradition, desolat celebrates a year packed full of music, with the second yearly christmas label sampler: a showcase of inspiring heavyweights alongside fresh talent from two continents, wrapped up in a big shiny bow. while last years christmas vinyl sampler was red, this years sampler will be blue: simply a beautiful sounding item in our favourite music format. all artists featured on the sampler have released music on desolat previously: some as special guests, some as cherished label staples. legendary chicago producer dj sneak jumps into the fray with a contemporary salsa-kissed house jam at a strapping pace, taste-making french don franck roger similarly digs deeps with the agile burner >egotrippin<. desolats taste for dancefloor atmospherics is further exemplified by loco dices stripped back and frisky track >dont make signal<, and martin buttrichs playful >roads<. livio & roby, premiesku, yaya and guti & audiofly also contribute their own takes on the desolat sound: with crunchy, sample-flecked grooves aplenty. its been a watershed year for desolat, with a super-wide variety of singles, remixes and long players by artists such as pulshar, ricardo villalobos, thomas melchior, marco passarani and der räuber & der prinz: musical explorations of submarine-worthy proportions. we are excited to see what 2011 will bring… stay tuned

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.
