"Global Underground releases are undeniable proof that house music doesnt have to be the commercial tripe played in many clubs played around the world.
It can indeed be intelligent electronica, yes, to dance to, or yes to feed your ears with beats that don't insult. This compilation does great justice to a label that has taken great care in harboring some of the big names in the house scene, names that have cared for some of the most groundbreaking house music in recent times.
It comes for a cool price, and it has tunes for all tastes. Big atmospherics, great beats, intelligent melodies, sometimes on the dark side sometimes not, and overall totally worth it.
Its biggest asset, like all great compilations, is all the names you're given the chance to discover while listening to some seriously good and catchy electronica. In that respect "Exposures" is a small treasure grove and the title is more than fitting.
Give this a try and discover a label that respects the listener and artists that arent ripping you off by copying others or by throwing together some cheap beats and calling it a day.."
