It’s that time of year again, time when we get to feast our ears on the tight selections that Sven Vath has chosen for his summer annual Cocoon compilation. Sven’s choices usually end up being some of the summers biggest floor fillers…
The duo of Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt, better known as Matmos returns with another full length cd. Harmless electronic pop sounds are emitted a plenty on this one as the cover art so well depict.
