Default Records has returned with its second release after compiling a
roster of artists who are committed to establishing presence in the
scene by pushing boundaries and pursuing excellence. Camelia starts us
off on the A side with *Transferring*, which presents itself in a light
and airy atmosphere. Its playful percussive notes are juxtaposed against
its hypnotic groove making for a warm and easy listen. Macarie follows
with *Flu*, a vibrant and dance-inducing sludge of gritty, piercing
elements that seamlessly blooms into an emotional melody that is driven
by its tantalizing rhythm. Label boss Exander shows the heavier side of
his creative spectrum on the B side with *Odyssey*. The fullness of this
cut accompanied by its intriguing and directive vocal is only enhanced
by its delicate features and attention to detail. Closing out the
compilation is Lulla's *Distort Time* which reveals all its insides with
a symphony of glitchy bleeps and blops all reinforced by a cadence of
drums and groove that stirs it into an electric soup.
