WHAT THEIR SAYING:
Stel (Dieb Audio) - Love the concept and love the tunes! Top top marks as usual. My fave's are "Deep Trip" and the Echo Mix of "Mirari".
Milton Jackson - Love the Wasted Chicago Youth remix, fantastic. Also Mirari is great, I love those synths. Thanks!
Nathan Coles (Wiggle) - I believe one of the words you chaps across the pond would use is...DOPE! Here's to many more Fresh Meat years!
Rob Mello - "Deep Trip" and "New Day In A New Home" do it proper for me.
Kenny Hawkes - Really a great package. I'm not sure which track I like best as they're all really good. I'm looking forward to playing "Deep Trip", Wasted Chicago Youth's "Gotahavejor Love" remix and "Room With No Windows". Thanks for sending this.
Pete Dafeet - Fresh Meat has fast become my favorite label. I want to make music like you guys, simple as that.
John Selway - Feeling the distinctive deep funk of "Mirari". The dark drive of "Room With No Windows" is quite good as well.
THE STORY BEHIND THE MUSIC:
It was Roy Ayers who said, "Bad is about as good as it gets!" "When Bad People Cook Good Food" is the first collection to cover the three year history of Chicago's Fresh Meat Records – including tracks from many of the label's cast of bad characters. Key artists represented here include Audio Soul Project, Nathan Drew Larsen, Tuomas Salmela of Phonogenic, Phonique, King Roc, Will Saul & Tam Cooper, House of Black Dress, Worthy, Dan Berkson, Kyle Szmurlo, Wasted Chicago Youth, and Peace Division. "When Bad People Cook Good Food" is not a greatest hits; fans and new listeners alike will appreciate that eight of the songs on this release are exclusive, including unreleased tracks, fresh album only edits and a hot as hell new remix of the House of Black Dress classic "Gotahavejor Love" by Wasted Chicago Youth (Mazi & Justin Long). As a special bonus, this release comes alongside a sublime live DJ mix by Mazi under his Audio Soul Project guise featuring 13 of the songs in the collection. "Deep Trip" by Sandrino & Adryan, Fresh Meat’s newest signing, starts the mix and sets the stage for an album that elegantly blurs the boundaries between contemporary and classic house music. The compilation is teaming with vibrant remixes, the crown jewels being what are arguably the best reworks by German outfit Phonique and Chicago to London transplant Dan Berkson. Vocal tunes by Audio Soul Project, Badmouth, and Mazi & Duriez give this record what so many contemporary tech house collections are missing. There are also two revisited gems from the vault. Nathan Drew Larsen’s "Mirari" and Audio Soul Project's "Room With No Windows" both have been reinvented exclusively for this compilation. King Roc's pastoral deep house remix of "Touch Me”, a colorfully epic rendition of Nathan Drew Larsen's sexy original, ends the DJ mix version of this compilation. As promised some months ago, the unmixed version of this album contains the original version of Larsen's "New Day In A New Home" complete with it's glorious Prophet-8 infused intro - more honest electronic dance music from an artist with no boundaries.
Enjoy this Fresh Meat as delivered by some of the baddest characters around!
