Whip out the silverware and throw down a nice table cloth for Gourmet Scavenger, the new
continent hopping electronica compilation from Australia’s pioneering Omelette Records.
There’s a lot of electronic music compilations being unceremoniously served the world over. So
thank the sonic kitchen gods for Gourmet Scavenger, a fresh and scrumptious compilation of
international electronica to whet appetites and quell the most ravenous of hungers.
Omelette’s award winning producer Spoonbill (Jim Moynihan) has been busy forging alliances with
some of the world’s most innovative producers in festival food courts and gritty sound kitchens the
world over, and now offers 15 brand new tracks you’ve never tasted in your whole life. Unheard and
ear snappingly fresh.
A selection of lobe smacking dishes, Scavenger’s all natural ingredients range from downtempo
electronica to folktronica, glitchhop to leftfield hip hop, brokenbeat to jazz groove, plus a few spices
you’ll have a hard time putting your finger on.
Now, Omelette serves succulent works from further purveyors of fine, innovative sound waves. From
the smokey wood fired beats of Wax Tailor to the creamy sounds of Hermitude, from the light crunch
of Lotek’s biscuity batter, to the sharp, heady bite of Frank Riggio, Scavenger sets out to offer that
most noble of menus: the Various Artists album that enlightens as much as it satisfies. No boring
white beats, no Mono Soundium Glutamates, no artificial loop preservatives,
The result: a gourmet banquet of nourishing sounds, made with only the very best ingredients by
rising underground master chefs in their absolute element.
