[En] Nicolas / Boing Poum Tchak! [bptchk! 007]

2008 is over and it was time for me to podcast the tracks I liked and played the most during the year. From jazzy house to more techy groove, in no way we can say electronic music was dead.

Non ici il faut plutôt simplement parler d’une bonne compilation que nous livre l’un des meilleurs labels estampillé new deep-house du moment (avec Drumpoet Community) : la subdivision de Compost (label plutôt orienté jazz et soul) : Compost Blacklabel.
