[Electro Vinyl] World Electronix Volume 3 - Cultivated Electronics

In this new age of artists being able to put their music out to the world through the magical world that is the internets, I posit that you still need record labels run by passionate folks who know what the fux is up when it comes to a dope beat. They curate and work with artist and producers to deliver the best - when it's done correctly you achieve that magical balance of knowing you can trust a label, just like you could trust your favorite vinyl shop clerk .... except when he was tucking away all the real specials below the desk for his DJ homies but I digress.

When you're dealing with a vinyl label in 2013, you can multiply that effect of curation and trust by a factor of 10 - unless you're extremely well off or can eat losses because you have another successful income stream, you can't take risks for a vinyl release. There is a real cost involved, from the production and manufacture, the mastering, the shipping and so forth. You have to be damn sure. That's a two paragraph break down on the business side but it leads up to this point: Cultivated Electronics is curated by folks who are in love with the electro sound, you know you're going to hear quality electro done right and you know you can trust them. They're building a brand.

Their latest release, World Electronix Volume 3 features four incredibly deep cuts of proper 'ktro that will be equally at home on your hi-fi speakers or in vibey small back rooms full of electro worshippers. JTC 'In Transit' starts the EP off, and it's one of those tunes that could have been made in Detroit in 1993, Berlin in 2003, our Mars Space Station in 2043. Electro loving DJ's who are being conceived right now as you read this will be playing this cut 20 years from now. Three more incredibly dope, pure 100% unkut cuts follow from Gosub, Sync 24, Defekt and Versalife - I've had the entire EP on repeat for the past hour as I gathered my thoughts for the write up, and let me tell you that doesn't happen very often.

This is available now, and you'd best snatch it up now before the capitalist piggie guys store it up and start reselling on Discogs at outrageously inflated prices ;)
