following on the success of their first collaboration, edit king danny krivit and most excellent unlimited return with another eminently useful two-sider. krivits reputation hardly needs to be detailed–anyone who has the slightest interest in dance music and dj culture will undoubtedly have a quiver of his renowned edits ready to be deployed on discerning dance floors. both tracks have been mastered from dannys personal collection and pressed onto high-quality virgin vinyl in extremely limited quantities.

compiled by hugo mendez, co-founder of the excellent sofrito label and sound system, haiti direct features classic material from the early days of groups such as tabou combo and les freres déjean as well as rarities from lesser known groups - bringing together the sound of compas with latin workouts, psychedelic experiments and the cuban influenced twoubadou singers that continued to be a key part of the fabric of haitian musical life. featuring in-depth liner notes and interviews with some of the musicians and producers that shaped the sound, haiti direct is the first widely available compilation to celebrate the unique and innovative sounds of haiti in the 60s and 70s.
