At 111 BPM, 'Something' has no business opening a deep tech house compilation that lives between 121 and 130. Yet there it is: Leomeo and Federico Maniscalco reworked by Daniele D'Alessandro, whose 5:19 extended in D major sits a full ten beats below the next-slowest cut. It's also the only track here touched by an outside hand — everything else arrives as the artists' own extended mixes — and that suits it: it plays like a decompression chamber, the warm-up moment most label compilations never bother to program.
'Lost In Music', the marquee name
The heavyweight credit lands near the end. Kid Massive — a Dane with releases on Toolroom, Strictly Rhythm and Revealed, a Beatport number one back in 2008 with 'Get Busy' and his own label, Get Down Recordings, running since 2015 — teams up with Mark Vox and Mikey Mike on 'Lost In Music', the only cut on the record tagged funky house. It's 4:38 in A minor at 126 BPM where the craft shows: the loosest, most playful groove of the set.
Between those two poles, 'Workin' Body' by Paul Sun and VELESS earns its place through sheer length: 6:36, over a minute longer than anything else here, at 126 BPM in F major. On a record where almost everything resolves between four and five and a half minutes, that extra runtime is a statement — a long-form mixing tool built to hold a transition without rushing it.
The rest of the volume moves between 121 and 130 with the bulk locked at 125–126, and only one name repeats: Escobar (TR), on 'Siente El Ritmo' and, alongside Cenk Dari, on 'Check Da Funk'. That fits the logic of RH2, a high-volume Beatport label that strings together series and compilations with constant rotation of names. Which is exactly how these volumes are best read: not as cohesive albums, but as talent pools where two or three cuts justify the full listen. Here, it's these three.
