It's Good To Be A Tree is a deep and organic record label that focuses on tracks with downtempo grooves with trippy atmospherics, and the imprint is back with the third instalment of its annual various artist compilation.

'G2B3:comp-03' features nine tracks by artists including Fawno Feat. Dilob, Xente, Last Gentleman On Playa, Betelgeize, Daniel Hokum, Yassen, Valique, Kapchiz, DIBIDABO, Waxwood and Begiroquai.

Many of the artists on this release have featured on previous It's Good To Be A Tree releases, but others such as Fawno and Begiroquai are making their debut on the imprint.

Collectively the artists on this release have individually featured on other respected record labels such as Leveldva, Underyourskin Records, LNDKHN, kosa, Cafe De Anatolia, Baikal Nomads, Bar 25, Cosmic Awakenings, Pipe & Pochet, and Shango Records.

First on the release is Fawno's track "Cumbinsqui" that also features Dilob and Xente. Cumbinsqui is a dreamy track with live percussion and trippy vocal tones sequenced into a downtempo groove.

Track two is Last Gentleman On Playa’s track "Moloca Sunrise" which has chugging guitar chords and ambient bird sounds layered with shamanistic vocals.

Betelgeize's "Svoboda" is third on the release, and it's got a hallucinogenic vocal sample layered over the shuffling rhythms of heavy percussion.

Daniel Hokum's "Holy or Sinner" is the fourth track, and it has soulful vocals layered with an acid bassline as the foundation of its stripped-back groove.

Fifth on the release is Yassen's "Pantheon" which unfolds with building suspense as the sweeping pads flow between the dynamic percussion.

Valique's Karivarg is the seventh track, and it’s got an upbeat vibe with a pulsating bassline and a fluttering flute that combine to create an experimental groove.

Track eight is Kapchiz's "Largo," which has an uplifting vibe with a chugging groove, trippy vocal textures, and cosmic synths.

DIBIDABO's "Trismegist" is the penultimate track on the release, and it lifts the tempo with psychedelic guitar chords and haunting vocal textures that create a mesmerising groove.

Waxwood and Begiroquai collaborate on the release's final track "A Calendar of Wisdom" which is a soothing cut with feel-good piano melodies, and uplifting vocals that bring the release to a close.

Picking up the pace as it builds from start to finish, this is a masterfully curated compilation that is packed with DJ-friendly gems, but played as a single stream of music, it’s also a perfect home listening experience.
