Celebrating one year of releases, This Side Music presents a solid compilation of late night tracks from artists that supported us in the past months plus some new additions to the roster. What a better place to set off than The Netherlands with Dominique Jacquinet from Hague who provides the starter with his dreamy 'Forest Wonders' deep-houser, which is followed by the bass heavy and melodic deepness of 'Drop the Tears' by our man, Alekos aka Double Trouble. Move on to some fine tech house from Scotland's Passive Remote with their first track for This Side, 'Reachin for the Higher Ground' and cross over and feel the analog warmth of Mick Chillage's 'Chicago Pad' which blends his influences from both sides of the Atlantic in the most effective way. Back to the UK, from the Dulwich Woods Studios in London, long time friend Philippos N. provides us with 'Evil Music' under his Juno alias, giving a darker tone to the flow with the most uptempo track of the compilation. Back to Athens, Pantal gets 'Spooked' and a haunting tech house workout for your needs while not so far away, Joe Montana gets euphoric with his track 'Kolo' a perfect set starter, a mood elevator or even a timeless dj tool - you decide! Spacious, deep and driving mid tempo techno is the case of the croatian Liquid Level with 'Worthwile' a track that should fit in house and techno dj sets equally. And finishing things where they started, This Side headman Lee Fraged teams up with his serbian mate Mthaza and provide a deep and driving version of Lee's 'Bless the Sinners' project while Linny Berret is 'Late as Usual' but still makes it for the last track with a moody deep house excursion.
