Some two years after founding their fast-rising Of Paradise Recordings label, founders Paul Patterson and Lauren Chalmers have decided it’s time for a tidy compilation of fresh material from label artists old and new. The first portion of the collection focuses on wonderfully deep, woozy and occasionally Motor City influenced house haziness (see the sublime cuts from Soela, Polejam and Deejay Bloom), before Stratton drags us kicking and screaming towards peaktime floors via the Head High style piano anthem that is “The Keys”. Dwell steals the show with the TB-303 acid-powered techno-jack of “Turn Up The Heat”, Martin takes us to a sweaty turn-of-the-’90s rave via “Smart Casual” and DJ Moonbeam channels the spirits of early Goa trance on throbbing workout “Apogee”.
