For sure the Frankfurt' label will be famous when dead ! Ata, Heiko and the whole Playhouse crew makes the ultimate crossover between house, electro, disco and pop. A great selection of 12 tracks to know how Playhouse sounds like : the prince of deep house, Blaze, appears 2 times included the beautiful a cappella anthem "lovelee day". The classic "beau mot plage" one of those rare track applaused by the whole electronic community. "lies" a magic moody future funk, forget about Prince, Malte is the real one ! Playhouse gives also a large place to his friends : Freaks aka Luke Solomon and Justin Harris keep groovin' with a wicked singing house. Acid Jesus, electro-techno pioneers, turns a cover of Depeche Mode "brokken mirror" into sweet electro ballad. Don't forget Bodo Elsel, Rework and Soylent Green... minimal stompin' tech-house at its best. One of my favourite CD for the next 10 years !
Bonus : motorhead' pittbull.
