Three vinyl releases will be released, including the compilation "CRUE-LWAVE Ⅱ," a sequel to the much-talked-about CRUE-LWAVE released in 2021.
The VA (compilation) album, which will be released in conjunction with the collaboration items on Friday, August 2nd, will feature a carefully selected collection of previously unreleased, first-time vinyl releases, and many tracks from the Want List, capturing the pinnacle of eclecticism, one of CRUE-L's label colors. The album offers a panoramic view of both the dance floor and the listening public, and features numerous tracks/songs that combine the strength and ambiguity of urban music, as well as universality and contemporary contemporary appeal. (All tracks are new remasters / 180g heavy vinyl)
Two 12-inch singles will be released the following week, catering to current dance floors and cutting-edge listening demographics. The album features tracks that combine a real-world approach with universal appeal, linking the cutting edge of modern disco and modern minimal with the sub-genres that are their roots, all inclusively yet disjointedly. Many well-known DJs are already playing it at festivals and clubs. The unified, heterogeneous sleeve design is also noteworthy.
