Freezone 5 • The Radio Is Teaching My Goldfish Ju-jitsu

For this fifth volume, DJ Morpheus has selected - among others - several brilliant, totally or practically unknown new acts. Some of these had never released anything at all so far - such as STAR (from Sweden) and SUBA (from Brazil), whose tracks respectively open the first and the second CD - while some others - RECLOOSE (USA), BUSCEMI (Belgium) and PHOSPHORUS (UK/Italy) - have only had one or two singles out.

There's also tracks by three exponents of the freshest new wave of US hip hop: JIGMASTAS (DJ Spinna's group), SHAWN J. PERIOD (known for his production work with Mos Def) and newcomers GEO-LOGY.

In the "already-established" category, you'll find contributions by the likes of IAN O'BRIEN, FUNK D'VOID, B.LOW (Pulsinger/Tunakan), SPACETIME CONTINUUM, and Detroit's SHAKE and EDDIE "FLASHIN" FOWLKES.

The last group of participants comprises some of the hottest new producers which have recently come to prominence in the fields of house/hip hop/breakbeat/d'n'b/techno: the UK's DJ Q, KLUTE (vs Hy-Ryze), DANIEL IBBOTSON and RAE & CHRISTIAN, the USA's KEVIN YOST, JOE CLAUSSELL and THE TENANTS (Jamie Hodge), and France's DOCTOR L.

Just like on the previous two volumes, each of the 22 tracks on Freezone 5 is absolutely exclusive, which makes the end-result both very precious and interesting. It's a fascinating process: imagine 22 artists, working simultaneously in their respective studios (in 8 different countries), and delivering to you this kaleidoscope of musical pieces, with its variations and differences, but also with surprising convergences and coincidences... (you'll notice for example a definite, deep jazzy undercurrent running through a majority of the tracks on FZ5)...
