It’s that time of the year where Seamless have produced the next installment of Puro Desert Lounge, the sister compilation to the hugely popular Purobeach series that Seamless launched 7 years ago. Having now taken the top spot in premium packaged chilled compilation CDs taking over where Café del Mar left off, Puro Desert Lounge was inspired by two amazing parties held in Marrakech, Morocco 4 years ago. Puro Desert Lounge is a collection of psychedelic chill, down tempo and deep house tracks with a liberal helping of spice and flavour from the Middle East and North Africa. We can safely say there is no other compilation like it and as a result the series has become equally as popular as Purobeach, it’s older sister. Over the last 4 years we have grown to love certain labels and producers so whilst it’s ever evolving it evolves with the same people who made it work from the beginning. CD1 is a blend of tracks that starts with the hugely atmospheric sounds of Klangstein and The Charlie North Michael E Project through to the hip hop sounds of Sofa Attitude, Yann Lebreuilly the man behind it will be releasing his next artist project Abstract Reality on Seamless in early July. We have a number of beautiful tracks from Manta Records who are frequently featured on Puro albums and we finish off with a new release from another Seamless artist M&D Substance who’s album The Trip will be released later this year. CD2 is definitely a step up taking us much more into the realm of psychedelia with the awe inspiring track Dance the Neriods by Koan, a Russian production team that really have their sound beautifully carved out (buy their album!). The mix then moves into traditional deep house territory with some familiar names from the Seamless stable and one that isn’t Arthur Osken with his track Karmastrabe from Canada, a stunning bit of production. We hope that you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed compiling and mixing this album and we are certain that this album will be seen as one of the greats in years to come.
The CD release is on the 20th June
