V/A

After a slow start in 2010 and early 2011, the New York-based L.I.E.S. has been on a roll for the last year or so. In addition to established producers such as Legowelt and Maxmillion Dunbar, the label has been instrumental in breaking names like Xosar, Bookworms and Terekke. This two-disc American Noise compilation will feature all of these artists and a host of others, celebrating what would be a particularly fruitful period for practically any dance music label. The first disc will put 11 of the label's out-of-print titles, including a handful from the imprint's white-label series, back into circulation. The second will feature material exclusive to the compilation. In addition to cuts from familiar names like Marcos Cabral and Xosar alias Bonquiqui, the compilation's second part features a new name (Mutant Beat Dance's Beau Wanzer), a track from an unknown artist and a new Delroy Edwards remix of Xosar's ''Tropical Cruize.''
