Originally due for release in 2017 to celebrate 20 years of The Green Man’s (TGM) beloved Basswerk imprint, ‘The Collab Sessions’ became such a vast project that two years later it’s finally ready to celebrate 22 Years in the game.
Germany’s longest running drum & bass label Basswerk has always encapsulated soul and experimentation, often pushing against the grain and indeed ‘The Collab Sessions’ does just that in places, pushing D&B into live operatic choral territories at times but then dropping us back into rolling roots with the likes of Digital and the legendary Aquasky. Tangerine Dream lends an incredible retro synth lead on ‘Tangent Moment’ whilst a plethora of other contributions combine to make ‘The Collab Sessions’ one of the stand out compilation albums of recent times. Essential listening.
Released February 22, 2023 on Basswerk
