Charles Webster is the UK based producer/DJ who has quietly and consistently poured out timeless music for three decades now. Uncompromising and committed to doing his own thing, a look across Webster’s CV throws up some very familiar names of which Webster is all responsible for; Presence feat. Shara Nelson (Massive Attack) made one of the 90s most defining house albums with “All Systems Gone”, Furry Phreaks, Love From San Francisco, his legendary (and recently re-released) album “Born On The 4th July”…..
Most recently, Charles Webster compiled & mixed for Defected In the House, and produced a mammoth compilation covering contemporary, influences and historical studio work to huge critical acclaim. Webster also provides the remix on the huge “Go That Deep” by NUfrequency feat. Shara Nelson, set for big things this Autumn.
CD01 concentrates on the contemporary house sound, with mesmerising deep house sounds from the likes of Henrick Schwarz, Pepe Braddock and DJ Koze. Webster also supplies a stunning six new remixes exclusively to this compilation. New versions of tracks by Justin Martin, NUfrequency ft. Shara Nelson and Atjazz as well as new versions of his own productions (Furry Phreaks), making his mix on CD01 extra special. A superb blend of vocals, shimmering deep-tech and organic electronics, the disc ends up on the classic “I’m Your Brother” produced by none other than Berlin’s Basic Channel.
Webster breaks out the classics on CD02, mixing up a great selection of oft-forgotten gems from artists like Larry Heard, Pal Joey, Chez Damier and Victor Simonelli (Groove Committee). The ultra-rare Moodyman remix of Amp Fiddler (under his Jan guise) gets a dusting off as well as does early 90’s cuts from Blake Baxter and Herbert, all sounding as fresh and relevant today as they did back them.
