Listen: Joy Orbison – Dekmantel Selectors 004

Dekmantel join forces for the Dutch labels 4th ‘Selectors’ compilation. Joy Orbison – Dekmantel Selectors 004 is, as you’d expect a deep and varied collection of rhythms and genres. “Touching on everything from shuffling garage and loopy techno to booming jungle and a number of distinctly British hybrids, it’s a diverse collection to be sure…” [Dekmantel 2017].

Dekmantel Selectors launched in 2015 with Motor City Drum Ensemble behind the controls, followed by Young Marco & Marcel Dettmann. All of which have achieved a 4.1/5 or higher via the industry benchmark online music publication – Resident Advisor’. And judging by the sampler below Orbison’s entry has every chance of joining this exclusive 4+ club.

Like the venerable DJ Kicks, Global Underground, Back to Mine, Fabric and RA mix series, Dekmantel Selectors is primarily an opportunity for us the listener to get to know more intimately the music that inspires and drives some of our most respected electronic producers. And on the strength of their first 4 installments Dekmantel Selectors looks on course to be joining this most exclusive club of mixtape Hall of Famers.
