Various Artists – Summer Sampler 2020

About

If your musical tastes tend towards the more melodic and dreamily deep end of the dance music spectrum, we’d highly recommend this expansive, three-disc Summer Sampler compilation from All Day I Dream, an imprint that has long championed emotive, tuneful blends of deep house, progressive house and tech-house. There’s no filler amongst the 12 tracks on show, just good quality cuts that combine solid grooves with ear-pleasing electronic instrumentation. Highlights include the slow burn, delay-laden late night hypnotism of Double Touch’s ‘Circles’, the bass-heavy beats and fluid piano motifs of Makebo’s ‘Just a Dream’, the ultra-deep bliss of Death on a Balcony’s bittersweet ‘The Source’, and the simmering strings and subtle Middle Eastern influences on Nebula’s tech-house shuffler ‘Once Upon a Time’.
