As well as iconic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunderground imprints Raw Fusion and GAMM, Mad Mats is a partner in the highly regarded Local Talk label, making it highly probable that most of the world’s influential DJs have at least one of his discoveries in their record bags. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor his first compilation on BBE, Mats has put together a diverse selection of cuts; from reggae, hip hop and soul to boogie, electronica and house, reflecting his open-minded approach to DJing. “The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecompilation is very mixed, just like how I like to DJ...all freestyle. Yes, I play a lot of house clubs nowadays because of Local Talk, but at heart I've always been a so called \"eclectic\" selector. Most of these tracks are tunes I’ve played all over the years, sprinkled with some brand new discoveries.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComing from a strictly vinyl background, when Mats embraced Serato around 2005, he carried his crate digger’s mentality with him. Believing firmly that digging should always about the discovery of great music regardless of the format, the concept of ‘Digging Beyond The Crates’ was born. Ranging far and wide in terms of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egenre and tempo, the album is tied together by one common factor; this is feel-good music made for dancing. “I'm just as hungry (probably even more so) to find my personal gems as I was back in the day, I just look for them with more variation. This album is dedicated to those select few individuals, just like myself: highly driven music lovers, collectors and DJs that truly are DIGGING BEYOND THE CRATES!” — via Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/16DmijEDStpEAte9OPgvk1?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: BBE, Local Talk\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2x Vinyl, 12\", Compilation\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2017\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Hip Hop, Jazz, Reggae, Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003eStyle: House, Deep House, Funk, Jazz-Funk, Disco, Soul, Gospel, Dancehall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456778772638,"sku":"730003141713","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a1744966806_10.jpg?v=1710408315","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/variousartists-madmatspresentsdiggingbeyondthecratesvolume1","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
