Rezension

Ich wünschte, die Dinger wären billiger. Dann bräuchte ich nicht so viel schreiben. Nämlich das Big Chill in England ein Trademark ist, das mit Cafe Del mar Klangtapeten nichts zu tun hat. Big Chill ist ein Label, eine Bar, ein Club, ein Festival. Big Chill steht für grenzübergreifende, ziemlich atemberaubende, aber nicht unbedingt schwer rockende Musik aus den letzten 4 Jahrzehnten. Labelchef Pete Lawrence hat seine Expertise erst kürzlich bei den Big Chill und Garden Of Delights Sammlungen bewiesen, zwei Platten, ohne die ich nicht mehr sein möchte.
Und nun Mr. Scruff: DJ, Produzent, Remixer, Musiker, Comic-Zeichner und Teetrinker. Und Meister der 8 stündigen DJ-Sets. Plattensammler, Crate Digger, Obskuritäten Jäger. Und Big Chill Festival Teilnehmer der ersten Stunde.
Der stellt hier aus seinem grenzenlosen Archiv die gewohnt eklektische Sammlung zusammen, alles sunny und spacey, nicht zu heftig, aber hoch spirituell.
Da hören wir Fela Kuti neben Donald Byrd, ein loungiges Moondance Cover von Grady Tate, DþAngelo neben G. Love, die tolle Bajka neben Roy Ayers, dubbiges von Glen Brown, Our Lives Are Shaped By What We Love von Odysee (welch ein Song!) und jede Menge mehr positive Überraschungen.
Zugegeben: ich bin ein Compilation Mann. Aber was gibt es schöneres, als sich von einem ebenso manischen wie kenntnisreichen Sammler ein Mixtape machen zu lassen?

For fans of the Big Chill Festival and lovers of music which moves at a relaxing pace "Big Chill Classics" is a compilation that is sure to see heavy rotation. Compiled by the doodle drawing, tea sipping, marathon set gigging, Mr Scruff, the album is his testament to a movement which was started by Pete Lawrence and Katrina Larkin, twelve years ago.

Scruff says, "Having been a regular fixture at the Big Chill for around ten years now, I was delighted to be asked to compile a collection of personal favourites for the label. It sums up my vision of the festival with a large dollop of Sunday morning thrown in for good measure."

Set over 2 discs, "Big Chill Classics" is the perfect accompaniment to the summer months and even those that prefer their BPM to be in the triple figures will be able to use this as the "go-to" album whenever a change of pace is needed. D'Angelo's rendition of "Everybody Loves The Sunshine", is sure to be a favourite amongst many listeners and if it's an education in chill that you're looking for then Scruff has recorded an impeccable lesson for you to keep for prosperity. Records from artists including Fela Kuti, Mike Westbrook, Rick James, The In Crowd and more are all here.

"He was the first DJ I ever saw get a standing ovation at the Big Chill, the atmosphere was so incredible, we had real security concerns as to how we would safely get him out of the dance tent as the stage was in the middle that year!" - Katrina Larkin

Undoubtedly the perfect curator for "Big Chill Classics" - Andy "Scruff" Carthy has been one of the Big Chill Festival's main attractions for sometime now and is renowned the world over for his varied and impeccable taste in music, reviving KPM library records and dropping everything from Amerie to Zongamin in his 6 hour marathon sets. He's had two artist album releases to critical acclaim, countless remixes and has recently opened up Voxpop, a record store-cum-crate digger melting pot in Manchester's Vinyl Valley.

Both Pete and Katrina wanted to work with Scruff because he has been with them all the way. He has shown up to play for them, as crowds have grown from 100 to 10,000 people, which is something they both really appreciate. They are really pleased he agreed to do the next "Big Chill Classics" following on from Pete's initial one for Universal. Everything about it is right, most particularly the end result which serves to confirm the mighty Scruff's place in the hearts and minds of all Big Chillers.
