Various Artists - Freezone Seven Vol. 2

Thanks to DJ Morpheus' legendary flair and impeccable taste, the Freezone series has been an absolutely major reference for downtempo fans worldwide, each volume being at the same time a precious set of clues for things to come and a great listening experience... Let's refresh our memories for a second: between 1994 and 2001 the Freezone series has always been ahead of the most interesting new trends in horizontal and semi-vertical dance music... Artists such as Dj Cam, Mighty Bop/Bob Sinclar and Kruder & Dorfmeister have appeared in the series as early as 1995… Then came Fila Brazillia, Herbert, Phil Asher & Ashley Beedle, Pulsinger, Luke Vibert (FZ3, 1996), Basement Jaxx, Thievery Corporation, Charles Webster (FZ4, 1997), Rae & Christian, Kevin Yost, Joe Claussell, Doctor L, Suba, DJ Spinna (FZ5, 1998), Isolée, Aim, Señor Coconut, London Elektricity, Chateau Flight, Maurice Fulton (FZ6, 1999), as well as already-confirmed acts like Moby, Josh Wink, Carl Craig, Coldcut, Plaid, Alex Gopher etc... Also: the fact that (since the 96 edition) every single track has been exclusive certainly did contribute to making the collection even more fascinating...

Released in 2001, this last volume of the series included fresh, exclusive offerings by Robert Hood, Burnt Friedman, Supadread (aka Steve Spacek), Ewan Pearsons' World Of Apples, Landslide vs Victor Davies, Tim 'Love' Lee, and the first-ever solo track by Cibelle.

Reviews

“The Freezone series has few parallels... One of the only compilations around that’s maintained its integrity and quality with never-decreasing consistency… Lovingly curated as always by DJ Morpheus...“ (Muzik)

"Few compilation series have managed to surf the front line of modern music as effectively as SSR's Freezone. Faultless excursions into the best of chilled ambience, artcore and dreamstate techno..." (International DJ)

"The return of Freezone and its mastermind DJ Morpheus is like an enormous inhalation of pure, fresh air. It shows those smarming major labels compilers for the cretins they are... You can't argue with quality like this - 5/5" (7)

"Having knocked out the incredibly accomplished Freezone comps since '94, DJ Morpheus (...) is back and he's bad - in a faintly horizontal, soothing kind of way" (Jockey Slut)
