15 years strong, and Oslo-based party starters Det Gode Selskab show no signs of slowing down. Commemorating this milestone they have prepared a two-part digital compilation featuring household names on the label alongside a host of fresh faces who have come onto their radar in recent times. A diverse curation summarising the extensive taste of the label founders, keeping their community at their heartbeat.
Fabio Massimo kicks off the release with a pensive, storytelling trip, ‘Are We Almost There Yet’. Laced with wild west-inspired pads, constantly blossoming as it moves. Constratti features next with a nostalgic minimal glance, chunky 00’s energy with twisted beeps and bleeps throughout ‘Seeds Of The Sacred Tree’. Label favourite Phill Prince steps up with “Well Do You”, a glitchy ”tech house-meets-garage-house” anthem, asking to be played on a summer stage. Classy as ever from the Italian beatmaker. ‘Eins Zwei’ is a squelchy electro bomb from Philipp Boss, a playful encounter looking to drop the dance floor on its head. Ramona Yacef features on the label for the first time with ‘Dating A Gemini’, heads-down mechanical motions as the journey continues to unfold, adding a distinct new flavour to the compilation. Maintaining that raw energy is Karl Fraunhofer’s ‘Oh Koi Joy’, rugged sounds for the peak hours of the night. Eclectic as always from one of the label’s longest-standing members.
A mixed bag of energy and vibes here, highlighting the versatility of DGS’ tastes over the years, continuing to find inspiration from those closest to them while simultaneously embracing new artists and sounds. News on the second part will land in the months to follow.
15 years of nothing but feel-good energy, love, and passion, with many more to come!
