Premiere Japanese selector, DJ Nobu plucks out a haul of deep electronic dance gems for the first Beyond Space and Time compilation

Prefaced by a 7” vinyl including Pan Sonic’s earth-shuddering ‘Lähetys/Transmission’ – also featured here – the compilation is the first release on Beyond Space and Time, a label arm of the Rainbow Disco Club (RDC) festival running in Japan for the past 10 years.

Opening with an effervescent Laurent Garner techno track ‘water Planet’, the set rolls thru some real nuggets ranging from Mono Junk’s aerial glyder ‘Beyond The Darkness’ to the hypnotic slink of Psychick Warriors of Gaia’s rare 1991 trip ‘The Valley’, and ultimately Burial’s heartbreaking ‘Arcangel’, via Thomas P. Heckmann’s brain-frying raver ‘Amphetamine’, the EBm raunch of ‘U-Men’ by Front 242, and NYC house shake-down of ‘E3 E6 Roll On’ by The Prince of Darkness aka Elbee Bad.
