The French label COD3 QR's motto is "Music to arouse curiosity." Led by the famous Laurent Garnier and Olivier Way, each of its releases brings together different artists to promote musical diversity. Available on Bandcamp, this new compilation is no exception, with productions spanning jazz (Carlos Nilmmns), techno (Trecci), and bass music (Onur Ozman). At a time when music scenes are becoming less intertwined, such an approach deserves attention, especially when the quality is there, as is the case here. Among the selection, we like ProOne79's "Lysergic," a Chicago house track with a destructive style. Built on a powerful rhythm, Jay Robinson's "Stroker" is a dancefloor killer that should find its place in many playlists. As for Alex Mendes's "Terceiro Orbito," it's hard not to imagine it in a Garnier mix, given his taste for Detroit techno. Who said curiosity was a bad thing?
