Oslo’s superclub Sunkissed release theirs and Smalltown’s debut CD mixed by residents Geir ‘G-Ha’ Aspenes and Olanskii.

This sixteen tracker features the latest electronic offerings from Norway. It opens with the big brass and distorted synths the cosmic Serena-Maneesh ‘Candlelighted’. Other highlights include Bjorn Torske’s ‘Spelunker’ which merges rock and film-score, the twisted percussive and industrial foray of new guy DiskJokke’s ‘Cold Out’. But then the magic really happens - Magnus International’s ‘Kosmetisk’ the into Crue-l Grand Orchestra ‘Psycho Piano’, remixed by Prins Thomas into a deep musical treat. The jazzy ‘Haribo’ from Erot cools things down a touch before the electro tinged impact of LSB’s ‘Original Highway Delight’ rounds things off.

If you love latin-fuelled rhythms, soaring melodies, rock guitars and twisted synths, you’ll love this.
