Various Artists 'Three' [QRC003, Quaint Records]

Purveyor of the finest underground dance goods, Quaint Records builds on a compilation series of the very highest order. The third in a much-anticipated annual offering continues the story with a standout offering keeping Quaint at the vanguard of the compilation format.

Taking some of the finest tracks across a rich and fertile music history, “Three” provides a new narrative with ten carefully curated tracks that showcase some of the very finest talents in a 24-carat case. With a track list that reads like a “Who’s Who” of modern dance music producers, the rich melodic layers of Beat Syndrome filter into sonic range as Lonya & Maydan’s driving bass groove hits the ground running. Roland Klinkenberg supplies a moment of magic with his arpeggio-rich reworking of Dibby Dougherty and David Young’s “Juliet is Dead”, followed by Andre Absolut’s upbeat, club friendly remix of Ewan Rill. 

Production partnerships from the gods find Blue Amazon and Mike Hiratzka alongside the iconic names and innovative techniques of Barry Jamieson and Charlie May while Kintar showcases his colourful talents through “Le Monde Est Gris”. Evren Ulusoy and Oliver Schories provide a rich and varied aural palette for Rodskeez and Dale Middleton to weave a subtle and magical touch with their interpretations before James Teej finds his musical soul in Madloch & Matias Vila. A fitting finale, Israel’s hotbed of talent sees the growing tour de force of Khen close with a typically dynamic remix of Logiztik Sounds & David Montenegro’s evergreen, “Halo Moon”.

Ten fits neatly into “Three” where sonic mastery and music narrative combine to create a new masterpiece.

The summer of 2010 was already picking up its pace. Because of record high temperatures the cities were half empty with only dust and melting roads, as all the people were near the sea or at lakes, rivers, ponds and all sorts of swamps... so to say returned to the roots of life. Despite the forest fires, crops dying and people having to stay in water all day as if they were hippos, the heat wave really had some nice sides to it in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius. It was here where Lithuania`s most promising new deep progressive act of 2010 emerged, and the underground electronic music scene has never been the same. As summer faded and the temperature dropped, everything returned to normal. But not for Suffused, who is still showing quite high temperatures and bringing exceptional heat to the global music scene.

Starting with the show "Suffused Diary" on Digitally Imported in 2011, Suffused has continually presented the freshest upcoming tracks from all around the world. Suffused Diary has seen the likes of Kasey Taylor, Tomas Haverlik, Airwave, Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, Lemon8, Cid Inc and many other prominent artists in the progressive house field. As of 2012, the show was transferred to friskyRadio where it continues to host exceptional guests and leave lasting impressions with each episode.

In 2013 Suffused launched their own imprint "Suffused Music”, a label that has managed to make a huge dent in the progressive scene in its short lifespan. With a long and ever growing list of all star talent, Suffused Music is a label to keep in your sites. Releases from artists including Van Bellen, Moshic, Rick Pier O'Neil, John Johnson, Danny Lloyd, Kay-D, Dynamic Illusion, Kieran J, Faskil, Progress Inn, Matteo Monero, East Cafe, Ryan Sullivan, Stephen J. Kroos, and many more, keeping Suffused Music in the spotlight with a steady release of fresh sounds. Not able to fit all the fantastic music into one label, Suffused launched sister labels Suffused Polarities, Cloudy Moon Records, and Magnetism Digital (together with Trukers) to cover a wide range of genres including Progressive, Breaks, Techno, Tech-House, relaxed Ambient, Downtempo and Chill Out soundscapes. 2014 also saw the beginning of a new show called 'Over the Moon' on Proton Radio.

Beyond the labels, Suffused has been heard at a variety of events, sharing the booth with Cid Inc, Sonic Union, Ewan Rill, LoQuai, CJ Art, qoob, Michael & Levan, Kastis Torrau, Sun, Quartz and more. This year will see him playing at Yaga Gathering and with more events still to come.

Suffused has already made significant impacts on the underground electronic music scene since emerging from the heat during the summer of 2010. There truly is no limit to what will happen next. Keep an ear tuned to Suffused and watch as the next steps in this epic journey unfold.

Every now and then a new label emerges which peaks the curiosity of the electronic music community. Music imprints come and go in today's volume heavy market and ultimately it's the few that stand for quality and consistency which stand the test of time. With its constitution and unique essence, newly formed Quaint Records is one such imprint. Putting its focus on the high-end EP and compilation market this global outlet will be a new source for cutting edge electronic music. With a selective crew hand picking tracks for each edition it's sure it be an intriguing journey on each and every release. The labels first offering aptly titled ‘One’ finds Quaint Records going into the depths of progressive techno with a selection of tracks from some of today's brightest stars. It's a collection that's sure to hold many great memories for a wide range of electronic music fans. Featured on this heavy first release are: Lonya & Graziano Raffa, Tim Penner, Amber Long, Kassey Voorn, Big Al, Facundo Mohrr, Pete McCarthey, Darin Epsilon, Cid Inc, Oscar Vazquez, Sonic Union, Dark Soul Project, Rich Curtis, Gai Barone, Andre Sobota, King Unique, Suffused, Silinder, MUUI and Luis Junior. It's an auspicious beginning for Quaint Records and one which sets a high precedent for future releases. Let's see what comes next!
