Spanning 41 tracks, “Tribal Rites<\/strong>” is a musical autobiography of sorts from one of dance music\u2019s most dedicated historians, Bill Brewster<\/strong>. Released on 3 CDs and double vinyl via Belgium\u2019s Eskimo Recordings<\/strong>, the compilation takes us on a personal journey through Bill<\/strong>\u2019s 36 year long involvement in the music industry.<\/p>\n

Whether running DMC\u2019s New York offices or labels including Twisted UK and Forensic, being one of Fabric\u2019s original residents, writing (with Frank Broughton) probably the definitive overview of DJ culture, the seminal \u2018Last Night A DJ Saved My Life\u2019 and the equally essential \u2018How To DJ (Properly)\u2019, running the DJhistory website or promoting their much loved Low Life parties, Bill<\/strong>\u2019s fingerprints can be found all over dance music\u2019s past few decades.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So whilst there are few people more qualified to compile such a thing, “Tribal Rites<\/strong>” isn\u2019t just a \u2018House & Disco Greatest Hits\u2019, instead we have the soundtrack to a life spent at the coalface of record collecting, of early mornings at car boot sales and late nights logged onto Discogs.<\/p>\n

Split into three sections, the compilation begins in the post-punk<\/strong> period, and through tracks such as explores the influence of dub on bands of the time such as Orang Utan, General Strike and The Raincoats. The second section takes us into that mish-mash of sounds and styles best described as \u2018Balearic<\/strong>\u2019 where the likes of Bobbie Gentry and Final Edition can happily co-exist and a country and western cover of Hall & Oates \u2018I Can\u2019t Go For That\u2019 seems like the most obvious thing in the world.
\nThe final section then concentrates exclusively on house<\/strong> music, though again showcasing just what a broad church House is, able to accommodate both the spiritual yearnings of Mother Tongue\u2019s \u2018Message of Love\u2019 and the precision tooled productions of Basic Channel\u2019s Maurizio.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

At a moment in time when dance music is more prominent than ever and DJs are treated like pop stars, “Tribal Rites<\/strong>” is a vital reminder that there\u2019s a lot more to DJing than just downloading the latest Beatport chart and waving your hands in the air.<\/span><\/p>\n
