Album drops 10/29 on CD and limited Peanut Butter-Colored Vinyl!

The sound of "The Electric Peanut Butter Co. is spreading across the nation!" With this proud declaration Shawn Lee and Adrian Quesada’s collaboration album is on it’s way so get ready to JAM!

As mutual fans of each others work, both Shawn and Adrian always looked for a way to work with each other and after meeting in Adrian’s hometown of Austin in 2010 for SXSW they decided it was time to get to work once their respective schedules freed up. Inspired by ‘60s freaky psychedelic folk, rock, soul and all funky tidbits in-between and bands such as Los Angeles Negros, Federal Duck, US69 and El Chicano the duo set forth on their task to create “Trans-Atlantic Psych Classics Vol.2.”

After one and a half decade and more than 370 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums. 
The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be 
compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.

After the first volume of the Compost Jazz Selection there were still so many tracks in the vault that could be used for a second compilation. 
So Rupert & Mennert started to dig again for all the beautiful gems that were still tucked away waiting to re-shine! For this second volume they took a more smooth-jazz approach with an occasional bite. This gives way for tracks from the likes of Marbert.Rocel, Burnt Friedman, Alif Tree, Salvador Group, Les Gammas, 
The Cinematic Orchestra, Kaos, Mystéfy, Joseph Malik and Nuspirit Helsinki!

The mix is a perfect blend. It will be an interesting play in the jazz cafe as well as at home, in the wee hours of the night, accompanied by a nice glass of wine 
or something stronger. While the wind is howling and the fireplace provides a comfortable warmth.

Who are Rupert & Mennert?
They reside in Den Helder, The Netherlands. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. From there they send their fine radioshow into the wide world. 
The show is currently re-invented. The  Sound of Swound ran for more then 200 shows. But it will be replaced by something even better: “Weird Pigs - not for copycats”. This will also run on www.djbroadcast.fm www.djbroadcast.fm and www.play.fm. Besides their love for broadcasting they produce music too. Together with Me Raabenstein they released, as Lagerfeltz, an album on Nonine Recordings, Berlin.Together with remix-work for Energie du Verre and Ensemble du Verre (Batterie Records, Hamburg) their release-roster is building. 
A remix on this very label is also in the making.

Info:

After one and a half decade and more than 370 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums. 
The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.
How to define ambient? In the strictest sense Compost Records hardly offers any of this. But what if you decide to look within tracks and add some darkness and deep beats here and there....? Well, there you have it.
Rupert & Mennert already dug into the big Compost archives to deliver selections of remixes, downbeat, experimental and jazz (vol. 1 & 2). This successor will be their sixth mixed selection. But this one is different... this time they dug so deep into the vault that they were actually lost for several weeks. Luckily they had their record player and laptop with them so they survived! And when they resurfaced, what did they dig up? A great compilation of literally ‘parts of music’. With a total of 20 tracks and loads of snippets, they deliver a mix of 67 minutes which is the ultimate ‘Compost Ambient Experience’! To listen to the tracks on their own is great, but mixed together it’s astonishing.
What to expect? Tracks from Jean Paul Bondy, Dan Curtin, Ben Mono, Felix Laband, Joash, Alif Tree, Taran, TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos, The Nova Dream Sequence (= King Britt), Four Ears, Genf, KJM and Funkstörung. They also layed their hands on two new exclusive tracks which were never heard before on Compost. An old and rare track from Beanfield and a track from T_Mo (= Timo Garcia).
So please relax and treat yourself to the dark ambient sounds of the Compost cosmos!

The cherry on the cake is the selection of one of their remixes on the new Future Sound of Jazz 12 (picked by the Compost head-honcho himself).
And off course you can expect more Compost Selections from their hand too. Currently they are working on a second ‘Remixes Selection ‘and a ‘Female Vocals Selection’.
