VA - Le Beat Bespoke Vol. 01-10 [2004-2023] (10 x CDs)

The “Le Beat Bespoke” series is a masterful anthology that captures the essence of an era defined by its bold experimentation and unbridled creativity. Each volume is a time capsule, a sonic journey through the vibrant tapestry of the sixties’ underground music scene. The curators have meticulously sifted through the archives to present a collection that is both a homage to the past and a beacon for future generations of music enthusiasts.

With every installment, “Le Beat Bespoke” has offered listeners a chance to rediscover the hidden gems of a bygone era. The tracks, each a unique story told through rhythm and melody, resonate with the energy of the clubs and the spirit of the times they were born in. The series is not just a compilation; it’s a celebration of the diversity and innovation that characterized the music of the sixties.

The latest volume continues this tradition with aplomb, serving up a platter of tunes that are as fresh and invigorating today as they were when they first spun on turntables decades ago. “Le Beat Bespoke” is more than just music; it’s a tribute to the artists whose names may not be on the tip of the tongue but whose influence echoes in the beats that move us. It’s a series that doesn’t just play songs; it revives an atmosphere, an experience, a moment in time where every beat was a heartbeat of a generation. And for that, it deserves every accolade. (B)

The songs in this collection are obscure underground sixties club sounds overlooked on release but revered by DJ’s, dancers and collectors in the twenty first century, and in many cases compiled here for the first time.
