Making his third appearance for Renaissance, british DJ JAMES ZABIELA comes with this envolving and delightful set, mixed with such great mastering making honour to this Renaissance series name where SATOSHIE TOMIIE, DAVE SEAMAN, SANDY RIVERA, HERNAN CATTANEO had been too. This set is full of well-picked selections on a long lenght double disc set that is (as always) short, leaving us with the need to listen to more good music.
First cd is a subtle mixed set with downtempo rhythms that go from organic chill out with the opening track on which you can even listen to some acoustic guitars in the background, this kind of atmospheres surround us since the begining synthetized wall of sounds just keep growing as the set goes by. An epic moment is achieved with the track AMO BISHOP RODEN from BOARDS OF CANADA, an ambient classic and very familiar with those who like IDM.
Pretty soon the beats start going up, but not for long, with the kind-of breakbeat ED CHAMBERLAIN's ZARATHUSTRA, Zabiela pick up the mood and then it's delightful to listen to some BLIP HOUSE with MODESELEKTOR's VOTE OR DIE, then Zabiela relaxes us with some more of chill out.
Final part of this set begins to prepare the field for the dance floor and then we hear some JUNGLE and DRUM AND BASS like rhythms closing with the very sweet and melodic track DEPARTING GATE from NEAR THE PARENTHESIS.
Second part of this set begins with a sample from the Heathrow Airport scanning machine, a place where Zabiela has been for so many hours, soon after this smooth intro we listen to some HOUSE POP, (Komytea - Afghanistan) which prepares us for the dance floor, even if you don't stand up to dance it's a good track to just listen to. We advance through and listen to SURRENDER by PAUL WOOLFORD where beats are already at its highest, trance begins to leave a track, Zabiela lets us hear some more IDM blended with some Trance and a little bit of Tech House with EXTRAWELT's ADDED PLANET and SPEKTRE's SURFACE SCAN, then comes a Zabiela's track (DARKNESS 2) which follows that same steps with really good rhythms.
The set goes on with party and dance inciting beats with Tech and Progressive House oriented rhythms and even some minimalistic ressemblance (ENERGY FLASH from HUGGY AND DEAN NEWTON) that carries us by the same way with ALEX MILLAN's MODERN LOVE.
Disc closes with LUOMO's LOVE YOU ALL (a lovely vocal track) that guarantees an epic ending, I think it's cool when this kind of closings are present on this sets, next we have a VOCAL POP HOUSE track OLIVER KOLETZKI's SINCE YOU ARE GONE.
This album shows us lots of today's electronic scene faces, if you want to know further more about this genre, if you listen to this album you'll be surprised with the Zabiela's mix mastering.
If you want a succesful lounge party use disc one, if you want a surrounding house party, use disc two.
