Release Notes:

Jesse Rose's second stab at an annual round up,

featuring mixed and unmixed CDs of tracks from the

Made to Play label's last nine releases. While not

as prolific as others, Rose is more concerned with

quality control than most. Moving away from the

fidget house sound he created as soon as it became

a formula, his restless appetite to find and

develop talent is demonstrated aptly by handing

Zombie Disco Squad mixing duties, and including two

of their productions on the unmixed disc.

The unmixed versions of these tracks serve as a

useful addition, but I can't really see people

buying Playing Around Again for the individual

songs, unless you are label collecting obsessive or

a DJ. I am more than happy to have the full length

versions of songs such as Riva Stars' awesome

"Squash" which updates Derrick Carter's boompty

template for the 21st century, but I want to hear

this in context, and that's where Zombie Disco

Squad comes into their own.

Mixing from a limited pool of songs to create such

an effective mix can't have been an easy task for

the Pan-Berlin-London pair. While not exactly

groundbreaking, the sequencing and flow shows Nat

and Lucas' skills as DJs with an increasingly

hectic tour schedule. Never boring, the mix starts

out with low slung electro of Jan Driver's "Rat

Alert" before gently tightening the tension screws

bit by bit with a brace of Oliver $ before dropping

the first bomb of their mix, their very own "Vie!".

From there the house gets woozier and wonkier,

crunching from Jesse Rose & Action Man's "Wind it

up" to Idiotproof's crowd pleasing "Gorilla". As a

label compilation - this serves admirably, as a DJ

mix - it excels.
