Soundtracking the progression of Josh Mason-Quinn's daily listening habits, the compilation draws on different sides of music to support you wherever you are and whatever you're doing. The Rise side opens with 'Bath of forgiveness in the moonlight' by Naissam Jalal - a sublime, gentle wake-up call before the bustle of life begins. The tranquility of Blue Lake 'Skyview' follows, a special track written with a brief in mind from Josh. Elsewhere, French- Brazilian artist Tiago Caetano brings a wash of calm with the dreamy 'Prisme Latin'. The energy of the day builds across the Radiate side with Mediterranean jazz funk, breezy boogie, UK jazz fusion and Afro-Latin grooves from the likes of Gianni Brezzo, Joao Selva, Fr1th & Simon Jefferis, Konkolo Orchestra and Ireke. As the sun sets the Retreat side takes listeners through that hazy transition. String arranger Miguel Atwood-Ferguson works his magic on Kennebec and Tristan de Liege's exquisite instrumental, as harpist Rachel Kitchlew's 'A Path To You' offers a dose of serenity. The twilight grooves grow with tracks like 'Tide', a cinematic souljazz cut from Mikoudi and China Bowls, and Gentle Nature's rich, retro lean-back jam 'New Faces'.
Signalling the final Release, the closing side is a perfect blend of dancefloor heat. Turkish city pop from Peki Momes marinates with Daniel Monaco's signature tropical disco and an infectious deep house cut from Australia's Alexander Flood. Finally, Reuben Vaun Smith's (Sons of Sevilla) new Landing Eagles project delivers an anthemic breakbeat street soul ender with 'Be On My Side'. The contemporary music scene is bursting with creative talent from all directions. Access to new music is easier than ever, but amazing artists still struggle to cut through the noise. Josh has constructed a collection to help counterbalance this, an expression and celebration of underground music in its many forms. In his own words, "During these strange times where the floodgates have opened to AI music, I hope this compilation serves as a reminder of the vital role music plays in our lives and how much human-made music is worth fighting for".
