Compilation/Album: Pure Silk Music - The Old Skool Summer Collection

Now for a taste of newsicmoos oldie garage classics. Ah, what a wonderous time of sped up 4x4 beats, high pitched vocals and constant summer smiley beats. Pure Silk are garage experts, proven by the slick and summer honey-draped tunes and a collective handful of renowned artists such as the divas with big voices Jocelyn Brown and Rosie Gaines, Stanton Warriors on the remix and Masterstepz bringing it back to the future.

Compilation: Rewind to what was.

Universal Music jumps on the obliteration of nostalgia fad-wagon that we consumers are currently, apparently, in awe of - that fad of looking to times before this apocalyptic recession came and bit us in the pockets. Those days when Netto wasn't an option; we all seethed at Tony Blair's homoerotic relationship with Mr Dubya; and garage music was widely acceptable as the forefront of dance music.

Remember this?



This old schooler is part of a new compilation called Rewind Old Skool Classics, presented by Craig David & DJ Spoony. It's not an unusual occurence for the above tune to be a part of garage compilation heaven - well, it is still a significant tune to that era. To add to this ever-repetitive list is a roster of artists being used in the hopeful task of locating those good garage times in the memory bank. These artists include Monsta Boy, Ms Dynamite, N n G, MJ Cole , DJ Zinc and many many more that quite simply don't need to be listed. To find out, just go to Google and search for 'garage compilation'.

It's a four CD compilation - quite a handful. Or a particularly good way to repackage yet another 'classics' album.

I must add, it is quite a collection though.
