First album in a new compilation series from Third Ear focusing on the variety in the catalogue. One of reasons why Third Ear is renowned is because of the 'No Boundaries No Genres' aspect of the label. The Fill My Head With Music compilation series will bring together tracks that wouldn't normally be found in the same playlist. Raising awareness of some lesser-known gems is also a part of the idea. We hope this series fills your head and your heart and your soul with music.

Wise Root from Wbeeza's Mo Bella ep. Wise Root is a slow burner, only revealing its full force after nearly 5 minutes of keeping the dance floor locked in.

Coast Spotting, from Wbeeza's Bagwag ep, is a relentlessly building peak-time transition track taking the dancefloor up. A classic. One of Wbeeza's most highly regarded productions.

Consensual is a stunninbg track, by Recast, also known as Fluxion. What we get is a long workout. Consensual is a blissed-out track. The experience of years of precision crafting dubby tech soundscapes  as Fluxion is brought to this track, which is grooving House/Techno executed in the melodic but quirky manner of Isolee or Luomo. And like both these producers, RECAST demonstrates his class with the quality of his sound, his frequencies and his attention to detail, subverting the traditional House and Balearic template.

Jason Hogan's High-Grade For Plain-Ass from his Age Of Scrap LP for Third Ear is a psychedelic, woozy, hip-hopper demonstrating his unique talent for blending genres seemlessly to create immediately identifiable, astounding music.

GED is Daniel Petry. The Dry River ep is kaleidoscopic Techno, breaks, electro and bass, colliding in this mesmerising ep. Disappear is the track DJs went for.

Filippo Blasi Foglietti is another Third Ear find well worth checking. The John Nixon Memorial EP is trippy and dark, deep and grooving. Apollo was caned by Peter Van Heusen.

All the tracks on Alex Burkat's latest release, the ep 285 Kent are references to, homages to, and an elegy for various NY clubs and clubbing experiences. Alex Burkat, resident of Brooklyn NYC, lands on (in?) Third Ear with an ep that further develops the sound he has been imagining since he was inspired to write Shower Scene, his to-date, most well-known track. Shower Scene, which was subsequently released on the Mr Saturday Night label, was conceived while returning from a Mr Saturday Night party. Clearly, the clubbing experience, in particular in New York is still an inspiration to Alex Burkat's music. 285 Kent was a well-known DIY warehouse venue that hosted Punk, House and Techno parties in Brooklyn that closed only recently in January 2014. Sullivan Rom in the West Village of NY is a well-known House party venue. The BQE is the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. The track evokes for Alex, people speeding to and/or from NY parties. House Of Yes, the name of another famous DIY New York venue that closed in the Summer of 2013 was where Mister Saturday Night threw their Saturday night parties. All four tracks are distinctive. Alex Burkat has his sound now. It may not be the only sound he ever creates, and given his propensity for evocation his catalogue will probably be prodigious and varied. For now, he is honing in on his subject; the rapidly evolving club scene based around Brooklyn in New York. There is soul in these tracks and a refreshing lack of artifice. For all the wide-eyed imagination and wide-screen soundscapes (huge bass and shimmering sonics out on the perimeters), there is no sentimentality; just a forward-looking gaze that takes in the past and the future with clarity and honesty.
