The Sound of Young New York and Toronto

The Sound of Young New York compilations have made quite an impact over the past two years. With reviews in all the major UK and US magazines a worldwide awareness has grown and each compilation is met with an enthusiastic audience. Installment number three is called The Sound of Young New York and Toronto.

Plant decided that it couldn’t hurt to add a few tracks from Toronto and the whole Vol 1, 2, 3 thing is a little lame. Again this compilation is delivered as a DJ mix on CD and unmixed on 2LP. It Showcases some new talent: These Bones, Alister Doomington (Stretch Armstrong’s new band), Neurotic Drum Band (John Selway and DJ Ulysses band) and some who are more familiar. Still trying to capture the energy of New York nightlife, the comp starts off pretty banging and punky and then gets a little more electronic and then chills out at the end. It is compiled by Dominique Keegan and mixed by The Glass (you may notice we always put one of their tracks on, why not?). The theme seems to lean more towards bands and also DJs who have now formed bands, it is vocal heavy and is guaranteed to rock any party and will, no doubt, be responsible for a few speeding tickets.
