Various Artists - Bedrock: Layered Sounds 2

Label: Bedrock Records| Release Date: 8/8/2005

The follow-up to the original label compilation, Layered Sounds 2 provides a glimpse into the impressive international talent dwelling under the Bedrock name, spread over two unique discs, one focusing on the downtempo side of the Bedrock label, and the other on it's more traditional club sound. The album's John Digweed has been a busy man recently, working simultaneously as DJ, promoter, and producer.

In addition to having brought us the new 'Original Series' compilations and the first artist album from Pole Folder, Digweed and production partner Nick Muir have been hard at work on the new Bedrock single due out early Autumn, and this new Layered Sounds album is just the first of several album projects yet to come from the Bedrock label.

The follow-up to the original label compilation, Layered Sounds 2 provides a glimpse into the impressive talent dwelling under the Bedrock name. World class mix-master John Digweed has been a busy man recently - working simultaneously as DJ, promoter, and producer. The combined efforts of Digweed and production partner Nick Muir have made the Bedrock name synonymous with quality underground progressive music, bringing artists such as Moonface and The Hush into the spotlight.


A true testament to Digweed's A&R abilities, Layered Sounds 2 is a reflection of the label's healthy diversity, exhibiting tracks that draw influences from every corner of the globe.


"Layered Sounds 2 is a brilliant reflection of where Bedrock Music is at today and where it's going. It reflects a strong scene and some outstanding electronic music producers from Luke Fair, to Pole Folder, to Hernan Cattaneo and Luke Chable. The scene has never been so diverse or seen music emerging from so many wildly different places around the world and it's brought together here with 2 distinctly different feels. A great downbeat and eclectic CD including some brilliant exclusive tracks from the likes of Voyager and Yunus Guvenen and a great display of Bedrock the club which is now international appearing in Italy, Sweden, Japan and set for much more in the future." - John Digweed

The first disc features an assortment of rare and unreleased leftfield mixes from the Bedrock catalogue. Terry Grant's mix, 'I'll Kill You (Softly)', sets the downtempo mood from the very start. CD1 keeps its cool with chilled-out tracks and remixes from Morgan Page & Gregory Shiff, Luke Chable, Voyager, and John Debo. Renowned US house producer Voyager contributes with 2 exclusive downbeat tracks, 'Downtown Bubble' and 'The March'.


Once you've been chilled to the bone with the first disc, CD2 heats up the beat with a fine collection of rare and remixed tracks from both Bedrock and Bedrock Breaks. Under the Bedrock moniker, Digweed and Muir themselves kick it off with "Forge (Fretwell Remix)". The Greek-influenced 'Pa Dida' by Dousk features an infectious groove and detailed multi-layering, while Luke Fair's 'Lokitas (Original Mix)' drops some fresh house flavor. KVK, Derek Howell, Weird Continental Types, and Elite Force are just some of the names that have played a part in making CD2 a true reflection of the soul of the Bedrock dance floor.


For electronic music fans that enjoy "a little bit of everything", Layered Sounds 2 has brought together remixes from some of the hottest talent in the dance scene, as well as exclusive material from a handful of talented Bedrock Records artists. One of the hardest working DJs in the world, John Digweed has vigorously kept his ear to the ground throughout the streets and clubs of South America, Asia, Europe, the US, and the Far East in search of the hottest emerging talent on the scene. All that hard work has paid off, as Layered Sounds 2 presents the rare, the remixed and the exclusive from the genius that is Bedrock.
