the lab review

The Balihu label was way ahead of its time. Wang started the well respected disco-house label back in 1993 with the now classic "Look Ma No Drum Machine" EP, and has kept the quality of the music consistent for well over a decade and a half! An impressive feat to say the least, but the releases really speak for themselves - tributing to the disco music of the past while adding just the right amount of modern touches to make it work on the dancefloor. This is the vinyl compilation part 2 and collects the best tracks released during the label's 15+ year existence. All the Wang classics, plus many slept-on sides are on here including "In A Golden Haze(1)," the serious arpeggio action of "Seven Shadows(2)," Balihu's first exploration into the world of real analog synths and delay entitled "Disco Delay (3)," "Ah... n'Arrete Pas(4)," the lo-fi "NYTK (1978 mix)(5)," and even the recent "Beach Birds(6)" by Massimiliano Pagliara. Hats off to the guys at Rush Hour for making this amazing compilation happen. 10 tracks total spread over 2LPs with highly detailed liner notes about the creation or inspiration of each track. Highly Recommended.
