On first glance, it’s not immediately obvious what place a compilation like this – the fourth from the solid, respected but relatively unchallenging label Relish – has in contemporary music’s murky micro-genre depths. When the label first started making waves more than ten years ago, the modular, playful disco and electro it purveyed was super-fresh, and the new-wave gems that label- boss Headman dug out (like The Units’ High Pressure Days) set the bar high.

In the years since, though, the label hasn’t exactly set the world alight. So it’s a pleasant surprise to find their fourth compilation reeling in acts like Daniel Avery (pitching in a with a heavy-handed Divided Love robo-sample remix), Richard Fearless and Timothy J Fairplay.

If the occasional track sounds a bit dated, its compensated for by the diversity of material on offer, from hi-camp post-punk daftness (Gina X’s oddball track No GDM), to Heretic’s Insurrection – timeless gothic disco that is equal part seduction and subdued serotonin. It’s hardly breaking new ground – any one of these 20 tracks could have been on an Andrew Weatherall mix at some point in the last two decades – but there’s enough leftfield electro hijinks to justify the continuing existence of a label that was unapologetically pegged to a retro aesthetic from the day it began.
