Forgotten: A Label Compilation
Moodmusic
With Forgotten, Moodmusic boss Sasse launches a new digital-only compilation series showcasing the deeper end of the label’s output. It’s a neat idea given Moodmusic’s strong track record in this regard, and one that should prove popular with deep house heads. Certainly, there’s little to fault in this unmixed, 11-track selection. Highlights come thick and fast, from the pumpin’ jack of Tony Lionni to the melodic deepness of Sasse and hypnotic deep-tech grooves of Axel Boman. There’s also room for a touch of sprightly deep house/nu-disco fusion (check the lovely remix of Nick Chacona and Kathy Diamond’s “Fear”) and an inspired analogue workout from Tokyo Black Star. Essential.
