Dewtone – Foundations II

It’s been a year since Dewtone released their first ‘Foundations‘ compilation and since that very day i’ve been hard pressed to find a label that rivals their continuous quality, and grounded concept & style. If you’ve read my words on Dustin Morris’ (label founder) exclusive ‘Waterscape’ mix we had the pleasure of hosting a few months back, then you’ll know that Dewtone have been responsible for some of my favourite tracks of late, and looking back on the reaction to Dustin’s mix, maybe many of yours too.

Time for the second edition of Foundations and if this sets up a similar year to Foundations I, then we’re in for a treat. As I mentioned before, Dustin does very well to keep his labels concept and style consistent through each and every release – it sits on the very beautiful side of ambient and electronica, and feels just like the labels namesake – delicate, shimmering and as refreshing as a crisp, glittering autumn garden waking up to an unexpected morning sun.

It’s hard for me to even begin to pick moments from this compilation, as i’m without a doubt, a fan of every track on here. We’ve got tracks from label stalwart Purl, new Dewtone artist Sven Laux, the beloved Sonmi451 and an opening track from Sabi – whos 2010 Boltfish release ‘Glued On Thin Memories‘ still gets regular MP3 spins from me. I will however call out one track on here… Segue’s House Of Cards – just trust me on that one…
