Opinion:

Vath`s Cocoon hits the charts with the annual compilation, reaching the letter K, and starting another decade of top-notch techno and tech-house music. Each release is out on a CD or, in extended form, in digital and on an exclusive (and expensive) 6-piece vinyl. So turn your speakers on and listen to the newest of the compilations, with a phenomenal rooster of artists containing names like Nina Kraviz, Dinky, Einzelkind, Butch, Argy, Sascha Dive and Minilogue.

Opinion:

What made me get this new compilation? Well, first it`s Cocoon. And every true clubber knows what a big brand it is: parties, clubs and a label bear this name. And they are surrounded by good quality techno, and some variations including minimal and tech-house. I saw a small review on a site praising the house & tech-house sound of this album and I remained puzzled. Do really people listen before they say their opinion?
