The Kings of Reggae
(22 February 2007) - The latest in the series of DJ-curated (but not mixed) compilations from BBE Records, The Kings of Reggae, is one of the best yet. Like the other seven “Kings of” double CD or vinyl LP comps, the tunes on each disc have been handpicked by a notable DJ and record collector in their field of expertise, in this case, London’s David Rodigan, and New...

(27 October 2006) - One of the most iconic, genre-defining bands of their generation—their merchandising outsells any other musical act, including Elvis—Kissology: Volume One 1974-1977 is a new six-hour, two-DVD box set chronicling Kiss' early years.

The Trip 2 Navigated by Tom Middleton
(26 September 2006) - You may remember that all the way back in March, we gave you an early tip-off that Tom Middleton would be following up his essential mix album for The Trip series on Family Recordings. In what we think is a bit of an exclusive for CH, we can finally reveal the artwork and tracklisting, both of which look like being worthy successors. Like last...

Phused: Inphusion Saves Your Soul

Only the third (and first full-length) release from Berlin-based newcomer Inphusion, the limited edition CD includes the two singles released on the imprint as well as an unusually well-curated selection of independent electronic music from around the globe. There are enough recognizable names on Phused to pique your curiosity, from DJ...

Fania Records: Classics Reissued
(29 June 2006) - From humble beginnings—co-founder Johnny Pacheco used to sell records out of the trunk of his car—to 44,000 fans mobbing Yankee Stadium for the historic 1973 Fania All-Stars concert, Fania Records is arguably the single most important record label in the history of Salsa. With an extensive catalog of 1,300 plus titles recorded between 1962 and 1979, the NYC-based label’s discography is a chronicle of...

Rewind 5
(08 June 2006) - If you got your hands on some of your favorite musicians’ iPods you might be surprised at what you’d find. That’s exactly the idea behind Ubiquity’s “Rewind!” compilation series. Now four years and five volumes deep, the series features established and emerging artists, handpicked by Ubiquity, covering the tunes of their choice. While the roster of artists is varied on Rewind 5, the source...

Ultra Electro
(02 June 2006) - Ultra Records compilations, if you can get past Ultra Electro's cover art, you'll find a never-boring mix of dance music and club hits. On the heels of its successful multi-volume predecessors Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, New Order, Ladytron, Moby, Goldfrapp, and N.E.R.D. get redone by the likes of Soulwax, DFA, and Tommie Sunshine. Pick Ultra Electro up from Ultra Records or Amazon....

The Kings of Diggin'
(24 May 2006) - bbe Music's "Kings of" series. Muro's contribution is an epic 44-track long anthology that opens with soaring glam 70s disco with near-constant flute riffs and slowly makes its way into more James Brown-esque grooves. More funk-heavy still is Kon & Amir's disc that could easily be a soundtrack to a blacksploitation film or its Tarantino ripoff. Listening to either disc makes for a nerdy game...

The Trip
(29 March 2006) - This is a very early heads up, I admit, but trust me, it's worth it. The Trip has been one of the best-conceived compilation series of the past couple of years, allowing as it does a choice number of DJs and musicians to let their many and varied tastes run wild over a double-album. Eclectic is an understatement. Of the seven releases so far,...

FabricLive: The Herbaliser
(01 February 2006) - You know the feeling you get when you throw a DJ mix on your portable device for the first time and on your way out the door—even before you've adjusted the headset and locked the door behind you—you know you've got the perfect soundtrack to rock out and paint the town infrared? I've had FabricLive: The Herbaliser on infinite loop on my iPod for...

Andy Votel
(23 January 2006) - Andy Votel absolutely kills it with his mix tape CDs. There are four albums to check out: Music To Watch Girls Cry (2003), Songs of Insolence (2005), Vertigo Mixed (2005), and Songs In The Key of Death (2005). They’re all hands down my favorite rock dj mixes to date. Each Album is an eccentric mix of vintage Psych, Prog, Folk, Krautrock, Tropicalia and other...

Free Music from Bleep
(11 January 2006) - Bleep has released a free MP3 EP to toast the new year for all registered users: Bleep Oh Six. It's a truly eclectic selection, as one might expect from Bleep, covering everything from cheeky roller-rink electro funk (Jimmy Edgar's "My Beats" and National Trust's "It's Just Cruel"), to surgically doctored indie-rock (Battles' "IPT2"), to acid techno shenanigans (Kero's "untitled (On Acid Again") and even...

Jazzanova: The Remixes 2002-2005
(20 December 2005) - Following the stunning "Remixes 1997-2000," the eclectic album of originals "In Between," "In Between Remixed" and the dancefloor approved dj mix "Mixing," the Berlin-based six-member collective Jazzanova presents "The Remixes 2002-2005," a compilation of released, unreleased and brand new—if you haven't guessed it—remixes. Though shorter in number of tracks by far to the original "Remixes" collection, this new edition does not skimp on quality....

Freshly Composted - Compost 200
(07 December 2005) - Hailing from Germany's southern wine country, Compost Records has spent the past 11 years perfecting and then re-inventing their recipe for releasing some of the most sought-after and intoxicating independent left-field club music. Dispensing with tired cliches like nu-jazz, brazil-electro or downtempo, Compost's forward-thinking compilation series "Future Sound of Jazz", "Soulsearching", "Glücklich" and "I Like It" have continuously set the mark for high quality...

Airborn Audio
(01 February 2005) - Two members of Antipop Consortium are back. Well, that’s not exactly true because they never left—, they just took a small vacation from music stardom. Ex-members High Priest and M.Sayyid have teamed up, leaving old Antipop member Beans behind to bring what they had done once before to a much, much higher level. They call their new group Airborn Audio. Blasting through all stereoptypes of...
