VA - Compost Nu Jazz Selection Vol. 3 - Silent Season - Jazzy Walk - compiled & mixed by Art-D-Fact and Rupert & Mennert (2021)

German nu-jazz stalwarts Compost come with their latest V/A best-of, which features 12 full-length back catalogue tracks plus a 77-minute DJ mix courtesy of Art-D-Fact and Rupert & Mennert. Given the label's long history, and their status as leading lights of the nu-jazz scene, you probably have a pretty good idea what to expect already: suffice to say that with tracks from the likes of Kyoto Jazz Massive, Beanfield and Truby Trio you're unlikely to be disappointed, while special mention should be made of Gabor Deutsch's deep, two-steppy Lovely Dub of Minus 8's 'Badman & Throbin', which is one to check even if you're NOT usually a big nu-jazz lover cos it's packing some serious bump!
