The one thing you can't accuse Stereo De Luxe – aka German production duo Kassi Wolf and Tom Krimi – of is being boring. Put simply - if this new CD, which collects the best and the wildest tracks from their EPs, was a drink it would be absinthe. Stereo De Luxe have taken beats and vibes from all parts of the musical spectrum, and mixed them into one hell of a cocktail.

1. Aerocyclette (Remix)
2. Favorite Radio
3. Disco Desperado
4. On Time
5. Breakfast At Annies
6. Your Sweat
7. Lowbrow
8. Bouchez
9. Sexuality In The Eighties
10. Plushy Delight (Feels Like Suburbia)
11. Aquacyclette

Their music is at times loud, outrageous and devious. Don't be fooled by the camp Yello-esque opener of "Aerocyclette", this CD can take you on a very dangerous path. There are some more straight ahead dance tracks, like "Disco Desperado" and "Bouchez", there's some pop with "Favorite Radio" and then there's "Your Sweat" – which does exactly what it says on the tin. "On Time" is a great chill-out tune, but even that can go in unexpected directions. The Professor Longhair whistles give it a vibrant and slightly naughty edge.

Stereo De Luxe have a uniquely European way of doing things and many of these tracks would not be out of place in a burlesque club, which of course, can only be a good thing! If you like your grooves slightly warped and a bit perverse, then you will love Stereo De Luxe.
