Shall Not Fade Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Shall Not Fade mark five years in the game with a celebratory compilation of highlights from various artists who have helped establish the label as one of house music's best. There are big contemporary names like DJOKO keeping things deep and seductive with 'It AllComes To An End', legends like Hanna with his famously lush and musical downbeat sounds on 'Reality Check' and plenty in between. Jacques Renault's 'This Way That Way' is a shuffling house cut with bustling crowd noises and Jaymie Silk's 'CyberPunk' is an all out techno rave assault.

Review: Over the last seven years, Shall Not Fade has become one of Britain's most consistent outlets for quality club music, with a vast roster of artists, a string of offshoot imprints, and a release schedule that refuses to settle on one specific sub-genre or sound. It's fitting, then, that the label's seventh-birthday celebration - a wonderfully produced triple-vinyl compilation of previously unheard cuts - does a fine job in summarising this eclectic, all-action approach. Amongst the 18 top-notch tracks you'll find warped UK techno (Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot's 'Alpha'), wayward dancefloor psychedelia (Red Axes), jazzy and drowsy vocal deep house (Laurence Guy and Miller Blue), organ-fired 90s garage revivalism (Main Phase), sub-heavy breakbeat house hedonism (Borai) and even a dash of two-step UKG/grime fusion (Killjoy and Kwam).
