Transitions is continuing on the theme of not having a theme. Ism heads Swingsett & J.Warrin have put together another eclectic compilation thats equal in both bump and chillout. Ism Records's Manhattan and Brooklyn-based mainstays like Swingsett, J.Warrin, Takuya, Duermo, Dave Warrin aka Mindflight and the Netherlands' Twilight Circus (Modern Dub producer extraordinaire of M Records fame) all contribute genre-dodging music, varying from uptempo breaks, soul, dub, 2-step and nu-jazz. These producers are combined with Cologne, Germany's phoneheads, providing the broken beats and bass bomb called "shell", driven by warm fender rhodes licks, along with West London's Lacarno & Burns, offering the lushly orchestrated beats in "Mahayana" and an incredible Afronaught (Orin Walters) nocturnal dub of Everyday People's "I Can't Sleep". He's a member of the prolific Bugz In The Attic Collective and Bittasweet Records UK. As if that were not enough good music, Transitions also features the blissfully melodic, yet heavily percussive soulfull breakbeat excursion, "Glistening" by New Zealander Denver McCarthy and two forward-thinking deep 2-step tracks from London's own Mr. Magic. Both songs are taken from the first single on O'Bleek Intelligence. A label pushing boundaries within 2-step, breaks and house. This collection of music showcases the cutting edge of soulfully charged dance and chillout music, blending many styles into one.
