CONTROVERSIA‘s boss and heavyweight producer Alok returns with a brand new track of his own, leading the 8th edition of the label’s signature compilation series. His new bass-forward g-house work ‘Kill Me‘ opens the 14-track selection, setting an ominous and heavy-hitting tone for the rest of the sonic journey – the CONTROVERSIA crew isn’t messing around with this one! Along with previously released tracks like ÜHÜ & RUSHÖ‘s ‘Divide Us’ and Kohen, Mert Can & Garonzos‘ ‘Overload’, there are no fewer than 10 exclusive and never-before-released records. In a true representation of the label’s ethos, Vol. 008 contains a diverse spectrum of electronic sounds, from the sultry vocal house ‘Skin’ by B Martin, Tyson Bay and Bassbears to the emotive and dancefloor-friendly ‘Naked Emotions‘ from Tineway, Rodmotter, and Volyri, as well as Yves V & Bhaskar‘s already well-known driving house tune ‘Round My Head’, remixed by Kohen & LIVA. Prior to the compilation, Alok himself recently joined forces with Ellie Goulding and Sigala on ‘All By Myself’ on Sony Music, which just surpassed 20M Spotify streams, while the Brazilian artist’s Summer hit ‘Deep Down’ with Ella Eyre and Kenny Dope, featuring Never Dull, is about to break 100M on the platform.
“This was a year of hard work, of several achievements by CONTROVERSIA, and for me it is a great joy to end 2022 with the last compilation of the year. We were able to bring together a team of incredible artists in this edition on several unreleased tracks, including one of mine that contains a sample from the ‘Ozark‘ series. I’m grateful for taking our label’s sound further and further. Thank you to everyone following along and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I do.” – Alok
