The first vinyl from Back and Forth for 2012 brings the usual format, with the sides being split, one to the Echonomist, and the other to Andrade. Both bring on an original mix, and also a remix, to fill the whole record.

Opinion:


The celebration continues for 8bit, with the second (and sadly) the final part of their 5 years compilation, featuring 15 track from which 11 were previously not released. And what superb pieces of music they are. As usual, tech and deep house are kept at the highest standards by this German label and it`s two bosses, Nick Curly and Gorge. The review for the first part is here.

Opinion:

8Bit is a great record label when it comes to tech & deep-house. Also it`s one of my favorite and I would buy a new release without even hearing it first. That`s because I know that quality comes first when it comes to the German-based label. This month they are celebrating 5 years of existence , an important milestone, with a double-part compilation and a three-vinyl pack.
