No Way To Norway
Oslo's debut compilation CD No Way To Norway, which is compiled and mixed by its label head Federico Molinari, attempts to put the focus firmly back on the DJ.
The special mix CD contains
only unreleased and exclusive tracks from 20 of the most exciting producers in underground house and techno. And in a major break from tradition the mix album
does not have a tracklist.
Instead it comes with only an alphabetical list of the artist contributors, which means the listener will not know which producer made each track.
That's not to say that the Mannheim-based label doesn't respect its artists. On the contrary, by keeping the CD's tracks completely anonymous it allows the listener to fully immerse themselves into the mix without prejudice.
And with all of the contributors shown equal respect and disregard, the listener is more able to fully appreciate the artistry behind the mix.
Altogether 20 known and respected artists (mostly Oslo favourites, some new to the label) provided 18 exclusive and unreleased tracks for 'No Way To Norway'.
They are: Christian Burkhardt, Damian Schwartz, Einzelkind, Ernesto Ferreyra, Franco Cinelli, Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts Feat. Qzen, Ivel Tax, Johnny D, Juan Sorrentino,
Skipson, Leonel Castillo, Maayan Nidam, Michael Melchner, Markus Fix, Noidoi, Reboot, Ray Okpara & Nekes, and Sascha Dive.
Release date: 2nd of November 2011
