Marco V - Combi : Nations:III

May 22, 2007

It’s quite difficult to know where to start with this press release. We worked the last Marco V compilation and used words such as ‘purist’, ‘maestro’, and ‘master’. After only hearing 3 tracks of one CD, we were looking for words, and there are none! This piece of work from Marco is his best yet, as you will see and hear for yourselves.

The two discs are aptly entitled ‘Before’ and ‘After’ and Marco’s own description says it all: “Imagine going to an outdoor festival, dancing all day and then going home for a chill out, that’s what it’s about” perfectly summed up to a V. BEFORE sees Marco at full throttle, and for a full on 80mins. You’re down the front, the V man is in front of you, and he’s giving you a dose of Marco V in peak time festival mode! A perfect blend of throbbing electronic music, mixed down impeccably. The BEFORE CD contains two brand new Marco V cuts, a smattering of exclusives, combined with productions and mixes from the likes of Starkillers, Mashtronic and Patrick Alavi.

AFTER has been on repeat in our offices since it arrived. It’s subtly driving, euphoric, melodic and down right SPOT ON! Again, stuck for words, this is a mix of multi genres and subgenres, drenched in uplifting electro, minimal techno and complimented with the finest vocals you will hear all year, it doesn’t rise above 130bpms, so perfectly suits it’s title! In two words, this is ‘sonic bliss’. Featuring Marco’s remixes of Meck and Xpress 2, AFTER also includes the likes of Trentmøller, Taste T and Robbie Riviera.

So, to sum this up! Combi:nations:3 has got to be a contender for compilation of the year, and for any fan of perfectly selected and mixed electronic music – this is a must.
