Motion 2

With Motion, Vol. 2: A Six Degrees Dance Collection, one of the most intelligent, exciting labels to pursue world fusion follows up a solid compilation with an equally good follow-up. Balancing remixes of their own artists with their own artists’ remixes of other material, the nine-tracker immediately stands out with its first two remixers: Faze Action and Ron Trent, a pair of the earthiest house producers in the business. There are plenty of highlights toward the end as well, including Josh Wink’s “interpretation” of Tweaker’s “Linoleum.” – John Bush
