Brainchild of electronic guru Ian Boddy, DiN is a haven for "fine contemporary electronica" bringing both old and new of the electronic and trance genres together for a plethora of artists. DiN30 is Boddy's latest label sampler featuring himself and other artists on the DiN label (Radio Massacre International, Surface, ARC, Paralell Worlds).
It would be hard to identify or highlight tracks as they all meld one into the other rather effectively seamless. What I enjoy about this sampler is it teeters on the edge of industrial while at the same time making it accessible from a new age standpoint. Elements of dance, performance, soundtrack and sprinkles of prog flesh out each and every track. Haunting and beautiful, harsh and lush, alarming and undulating, the entire piece does not relent is offering something new with each listen. Hats off to Boddy as this is the perfect underscore for late nights at the office when chemical "productivity aids" just don't cut the muster! I'll owe my next raise to Boddy's fruits and label.
