Collection E is the next in the series for Nic Fancuilli’s Saved Records. The Sampler includes twelve tracks from Noir, Okain, Chicco Secci, James Organ and Javi Row.

Its diverse but energetic soundscape across the twelve tracks provides a succinct snapshot of the label’s ethos in 2015. Combining a consummate blend of young, emerging talent and already established names, Collection E engages with markedly different tempos, tones and textures from track to track. From the dark, driving attitude of Julien Sandre’s ‘Beside Me’ to the crunchy, rhythmic energy of ‘It’s Just A Groove’ by Sean Miller, the deep, rolling party vibes of Sergio Fernandez’s ‘Kuery,’ the dubby, drum machine-heavy stylings of Daniel Dubb & m.O.N.R.O.E.’s ‘Colors’, the old school house flavours of ‘Wax Trax’ by Romano Alfieri & Alli Borem and the jazz influenced techno of Javi Row’s wonderfully idiosyncratic ‘Fifty Seven,’ Collection E boasts a deliciously varied and quality-filled palette.

A true marker of an imprint bang in form and also completely in tune with its open-minded, dancefloor-focused ideology, Collection E bears all the confidence and attitude that enables Saved Records to continue to stand out.
