Highlights of this compilation include Tranquillity Bass “We All Want To Be Free (The Skull Valley Dub),” a classic downtempo plea for peace and sanctity within an overstuffed and hyped industry that benefits the bold and brazen, rather than the creative and insightful. Gus Gus’ “Why? (Remix by DJ Vadim and Jazz Fudge Delicacies) and its vocal reconstruction will suit any taste from funk to freestyle and anywhere in between.

Others of note that can’t be broken down for you in print due to space restrictions include The Freshmaka, aka Duke Mushroom, Junkie XL, Lunatic Calm, Thievery Corp., Esprit, DJ Snow, Plastilina Mosh, Dub Pistols, Color Filter, DJ Spooky and Burro Banton, and chronic bad boy Keoki. Moonshine Music, 8525 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069
