The electronic Munich label founded by Michael Reinboth in 1994 had also a major importance in my first years while exploring electronic music.
It all started with early Ninja Tune, i was really drown to Jazz and beats, Trip Hop, Downtempo and then the German broken beats arrived, it was a very importante and logic shift in what i was listening at the time.
The Compost Legacy as an unbelivebel roster of talented people and some of my favroites were, Jazzanova, Beanfield, Native Force, Fauna Flash, Les Gammas, Forest Mighty Black, Rainer Truby Trio and Michael Rütten etc...

The new masterpiece of Maxim Zhestkov Russian based creative director. It gives you time and space to imagine your place inside a 1960's Sci Fi Thriller, very elegant and the sound design is delicious.

One of the voices that i like the most since i've heard it for the first time, in the collaboration between Fly Lo and Jose James on the track "Vision of Violet".
Jose second album "Blackmagic" is produced with the help of Flying Lotus and is out on Gilles Peterson Brownswood Recordings.
"Blackmagic" and "Made for Love" are sensational.
