To mark this pivotal half decade anniversary, Manchester brand Do As You Please are launching an eight track VA compilation, trail-blazing some of Manchester's hottest prospects in electronic music. The release celebrates and redefines the label's sound, building the foundations for a powerhouse of talent.
Shining a light on the North’s hotbed of innovative artistry and culture, and maintaining the brand’s ethos to nurture grassroots talent, all eight tracks on the release come from local producers. Do As You Please has called upon friends new and old to curate a collection of music that’s ready for a world stage.
The sound of the compilation is dynamic and doused in character and groove. Each track showcases the artist’s prowess within the sub-genre they’ve explored. Running through the release is a leading-edge UK and European deep & tech house sound, with Mica (UK)’s beautiful & deep “There’s Ya Dip”, Haze’s fun-loving but cool-as-they-come “Gelato”, and Moiser & Haze’s underground roller “Rula”.
Swales’ “Forgiveness” provides a progressive, peak time, acid tinged masterpiece, affirming that the young producer’s devotion to his craft is paying dividends aplenty.
DAYP resident Rhodri’s “World Rhythm'' exquisitely flies the flag for the classic US house & techno sound, echoing the foundations of Manchester’s electronic scene.. An unrelenting, percussive piano groover giving a nod to the pioneering fathers of Chicago and Detroit.
Joe Roche’s candid approach to a driving dancefloor weapon with “Who’s This?”, is reminiscent of early Patrick Topping, with added underground acid appeal.
Samo Lung returns to the label with “Turbo Uber from TWH to DBA”. Sam’s seasoned ability and expertise shine throughout this track. A Nu-Trance acid pumper, purpose built for Manchester’s Strange Quarter venues - The White Hotel and Derby Brewery Arms, exactly what it says on the tin!
Leeds’ event outfit, Limit, boss Rowland (UK) closes the compilation with “Chaos Engine” - a journey best experienced locked in from start to finish. Hypnotic house music at its best with forward thinking ideology, arrangement and sound design.
