Young Marco 'Selectors 002' (Dekmantel)

Amsterdam DJ/producer Young Marco offers 10 decade-spanning, genre-crossing global jams for ‘Selectors 002’. Danny Boy’s funky ‘Diskomix’ gets the feel-good vibes flowing before Gerrit Hoekema’s melodic ‘Televisiewereld’. Like Wolf Müller’s obscure gem ‘Pfad Des Windes’, Ghostwriters’ 10-minute journey ‘Swizzle’ packs in a range of global influences and multi-cultural instruments. Larry Heard’s 1994 deep house track ‘Dolphin Dream’ follows before Frank Youngwerth’s ‘Whirr’ captivates with tribal drums and ethereal synths, while 90s Italian act Green Baize’s ‘Spick And Span’ delivers a dreamy escape.
