It took less than a month after the official release of Danny Howells GU027:Miami for the Global Undergound crew to announce their next installment of the successful series Nick Warren GU028:Shanghai. Fittingly, one month after our in-depth Danny Howell’s interview RA can now announce not only the track listing for the album, which is based on Warren's set at Fenwick The Dock in the Shanghai metropolis in February, but also his upcoming Northern Hemisphere Summer tour dates.
The entertaining Warren has always had a huge legion of followers from around the world as the former Massive Attack support DJ, one half of U.K. production gods Way Out West and as a solo DJ so its fitting that this release encompasses a selection from 13 different nationalities. Many of these tracks have never been released and Nick was clearly happy to push the underground sounds:
"I wanted to showcase as many young producers as I could. Find tracks that were unsigned and give them a platform. Record labels don’t give young producers the time to go and make an album, so it’s hard for them to get their music heard."
A mix which dips in and out of everything from indie-rock influenced vocal tracks to sweetly melodic deep house to raging acid.
