Mobilee presents the fourth installment of its compilation and DJ-mix series, Back To Back. This series has evolved significantly since its inception, with the second disc of each compilation presenting a unique take on Mobilee's music. Volume 4, compiled and performed by And.id and B.A.N.D., continues this evolution with a two-disc extravaganza that is unlike anything you've ever heard before. While disc 1 compiles highlights from Mobilee's 2009 discography, disc 2 consists of jazz interpretations of classic Mobilee tracks, all of which have been painstakingly recorded, arranged, and re-edited by And.id. These refreshing takes on some of Mobilee's best tracks over the years were recorded during live studio sessions with jazz musicians, whose use of real instruments in performing Mobilee tracks -- not to mention And.id mixing and arranging -- breathes new life into these time-tested anthems. The tracks selected for the first disc do well in showcasing Mobilee's current musical diversity, with hard-hitting techno from Pan-Pot, forward-thinking house from GummiHz and experimental downtempo from Exercise One. Dan Curtin and Hector rub up against new tracks from old-timers, amongst whom Anja Schneider, Marcin Czubala, and Sebo K are also included. An exclusive track courtesy of And.id also makes its debut. The second disc is a ride entirely of its own, as And.id takes classic Mobilee tracks and filters them through the lens of jazz with the help of his B.A.N.D., comprised of both recent Berklee College Of Music musicians as well as seasoned studio musicians. But don't be fooled: these aren't just jazz covers. And.id has gone one step further, editing and arranging the recorded instrumentals into an incredibly unique final product. Sebo K's anthem "Horizons," Pan-Pot's lush, piano-led track "Faces," and "Rancho Relaxo," Anja Schneider's collaboration with Sebo K, are just some of the tracks taken to new heights. Mobilee also included the original versions of each of these tracks just for kicks. Four-to-the-floor beats get traded in for live instrumentation and creativity meets the classics on volume 4 of the Back To Back compilation. Other artists include: Lee Van Dowski, Argenis Brito, and Vincenzo.
