Here is a taster of the eagerly awaited Exceptional album ´From Disco To Dubstep,´ which is released this week through iTunes and strictly limited edition double CD (available only in special silver wallets from discerning dealers, at the great price of around £1, but get in quick there are only 250 copies out there!)

After 10 years of exploring the highways and byways of electronic music we proudly present a lovingly assembled sonic collection as part of our 10th anniversary celebrations, an eclectic selection of exceptional artists, touching on disco, lounge, electronica, house, electro, breaks, dubstep and more.

This mix features the first four tracks from this 2CD album journey.

1. Plej - Borderline (Mock & Toof Remix)
2. Oblong - Playing On My Mind (feat. Adam Parker) (Maelstrom Vocal Mix)
3. Plej - Safe Place (Toby Tobias Dubbindelay Mix)
4. Butti 49 - Alan Accelerates (Fenomenon Mix)

With a heartfelt belief that there is much much more to electronic music than four to the floor and formulaic hands in the air twelves the label has consistently released a determinedly unpredictable selection of artists and mixes carving out a path lying somewhere between mainstream and experimental along the way This deliberately wilful approach is neatly encapsulated in "From Disco to Dubstep" a wide ranging electronic exploration which joins many of the dots in an ever mutating series of scenes.

Released as part of the label's 10th anniversary celebrations, the double-CD release features an eclectic selection of 16 remixes of artists that currently call exceptional home. Touching on disco, lounge, electronica, house, electro, breaks, dubstep and more it throws down a challenge to narrow minded purists daring them to look, listen, and leave their comfort zone behind to explore just some of the possibilities that define electronic music.

This is a celebration of a series of genres that may perhaps seem quite disparate, yet find common ground thanks to their roots in electronic software. Amongst some of the more familiar names on the tracklisting you can find Mock & Toof's exuberant, 80's-tinged deep house remix of Plej's "Borderline", typically impressive deep 4/4 action from Jimpster with his remix of "Awakening" by Ken Ishii, Tom Middleton's up for it remix of "All Over Again" by Blu Mar Ten, the bazooka-bass dubstep of The Rogue Element with his remix of Nursery of Naughtiness' "Electrified", Reso and Raffertie trading punches,and Planas' drastically different electronica restyling of Culprit 1's "Screamer". and the soulful dubby rework of Tubbs' "New Way of Life" by Marlinspike (aka hot property Red Rack'em/Hot Coins ), featuring the chocolatey vocals of Joe Dukie. The whole package is completed with CD 2 providing the many splendoured original versions of the remixes featured on CD 1. "From Disco to Dubstep" then -- proof positive that all is not lost in the world of compilations, and a sparkling showcase for Exceptional's eponymous output.
