2011, Cocoon
This is the eleventh edition in the Cocoon label's alphabetically-annual Cocoon Compilation series. Curated by label-head Sven Väth, Cocoon Compilation K is the deepest survey of contemporary electronic dance music that has ever seen the light of day on Cocoon. David August kicks off the set with its sensual and melancholic slo-mo disco: "True Romance" is a massive musical exclamation mark. Then things get hypnotic. Siberian singer and DJ/producer Nina Kraviz's dreamy vocals grace the deep house of "W-Bleu." Following is Alejandra Iglesias, aka Dinky, with the darkly shimmering "Luvin." Henrik Schwarz sets the course for the dancefloor with dub-house runner "Now This Way," while the Far-Eastern reduction of "Blue Storm" by Matt John steers the party to Floor #7. Also featured: house modernists Christian Burkhardt & Einzelkind, ska-minimalist Sascha Dive, Maetrik, Argy, Tom Trago, Butch, and Minilogue, who round out the set in sensual melancholia with "Blessed."
