a1 Skeptical - Eyes Down a2 Synkro - The Way b1 ST Files - Eric Bristow b2 Instra:mental - Fist Level 2B Across the length and breadth of the albums’ 28‐track span, Mosaic Vol.2 is the second chapter of label boss dBridge’s mission statement to marry disparate sounds on a mixed‐artist album whilst triumphantly steering clear of convolution. The albums’ roll call lists luminaries emanating from all spheres of electronic music ‐ ranging from US footwork impresario and frequent Jimmy Edgar collaborator Machinedrum, who chimes in with a soulful synth‐heavy jam on ‘The Palace’ to the increasingly potent combination of Om Unit & Sam Binga with the pair continuing in their rich vein of form on the label and wistfully amalgamating influences from jungle, dubstep and funk on album highlight ‘Triffidz’. Some familiar faces from Mosaic Vol.1 make welcome appearances the second time around with Skeptical taking no prisoners on the unrelenting ‘Eyes Down’ and Synkro mastering the art of melancholy on sun‐kissed cut ‘The Way’. Former partners in crime Boddika and Jon Convex appease fans of the notorious Autonomic sound under their Instra:mental guise with sinister offering ‘Fist Level 2B’ and dBridge himself shows yet more dynamism in his production direction on juxtaposing efforts ‘Not Known’ and ‘My Night Sky’. The albums’ kaleidoscopic nature means that haunting dancefloor‐pleasing emissions like ‘Eric Bristow’ by ST Files can sit comfortably next to the immersive textures of CMX’s spacious ‘Tesserae’ and sombre project closer ‘After Beris’ from Blackpocket aka Steve Spacek. Mosaic Vol.2 encompasses all of the distinct nuances that Exit Records has come to be associated with in its 10‐year existence – shirking expectations and consistently offering new avenues for uncontrived sonic exploration. It’s a testament to the label’s ethos that after a decade in operation they continue to be regarded to as a constant source of innovation and consistently re‐defining themselves whilst doing so.
