Soulstice – Mixed Illusions

You can argue about the validity of these house/leftfield compilations all you want, but the truth is they often make for a better listen than so many of the house artist albums out there. As does this.

The well-thought out, informed choice from the Om crew includes blinders from Miguel Migs, Kevin Yost and the top-notch Pepe Braddock alongside more chilled servings from DJ Spinna, Fila Brazilia and Atjazz.

Won’t sell as much as the next identikit chill-out comp from your local major label, but there’s enough underground delights here to argue that it should.
