about

A subtle shift is taking place within the blurred margins of dance music. A loosening of criteria, a releasing of pretence. A collective yearning for spaces both literal and metaphysical where the lines between club and bedroom can dissolve into mist, where the most nourishing elements of each can bleed into the other; dance floor with the safety and assurance of home, home with all of the transcendent potential of the dance floor.

The blurred outlines of these indeterminate spaces can be glimpsed in a sound that has been slowly emerging for the better part of the last decade, one that gathers its influences like fog and sculpts them into newly concentrated forms. Traces of ambient, dub, downtempo, trip hop and the spectral outlines of after hours techno, swirling amorphously into something most defined by its distinct absence of clear definition, and united by a spirit of openness and malleability in opposition to a world so often occupied by cruel borders and hard edges.

Second End Records’ newest VA compilation signifies an empathic shift in sound and ethos that is slowly taking hold across disparate corners of electronic music, woven collectively by fifteen artists across the globe into something that transcends demarcation. More than a compilation, but rather a flowing and coalescing vision, each track connects delicately to the next like glowing threads through a shared dream, gently carrying the listener through rich topographies of distant bass, weightless percussion, and soft tunnelling textures.

Serving both as a document of a moment in time and as a mapping out of imaginary spaces, COLLAGE Vol.2 imagines a boundless geography unfurling between the minds of artists, listeners, dancers and dreamers and reminds us that when we allow the borders between our unique worlds to crumble, we can create beautiful new landscapes together.
