Aus Music presents a 2CD package that aims to fondly remember the first 20 releases from the label, with a DJ mix of their back catalog by A&R and co-founder (alongside Sideshow) Will Saul (CD2). This compilation also looks forward to the next 20 releases with 13 totally new and exclusive tracks from the core roster, friends of the label, and future artists (CD1). From the live dub of Sideshow through to the layered, undulating techno of Sian via the heartwarming, richly-textured grooves of Lee Jones, Aus' aim has always been to accompany you from dusk 'til dawn -- all night long. CD1 opens with Sideshow's reworking of his collaboration with Cortney Tidwell before Roland Appel eases you into the realms of disco, his guitar licks and piano refrains carrying the torch of live instrumentation forward before Sian, Shur-I-Kan and Brooks turn up the electronic dial while maintaining the disco groove. The mysterious Pearson Sound (an anonymous, core member of the burgeoning dubstep-meets-techno scene) changes up the rhythm and brings his stripped-back yet inherently soulful sound before Appleblim & Ramadanman present their first foray into the world of house. Martyn's P-funk-inspired melody and bass line provides another fresh take on his deliciously broken rhythms. Lawrence reworks Lee Jones' in-demand single "Aria" for the project, which is typically sleek and graceful, leading into the housier section of the album. MyMy deliver one of their trademark melodic bombs and Lee Jones gets uncharacteristically pumping, while Will Saul & Tam Cooper bring the soul and melancholy before Martyn signs off with a potent piece to pull at your heartstrings. Other artists include: Prins Thomas, The Mole, Motorcitysoul, Stimming, Paul St. Hilaire, and Château Flight.
