As his name would suggest, Malaysian based Northerner Chris Special is proving an overtly positive mark on dance floors across the globe. Taking the flame from Maquina had honchos Threesixty and Dirty Harris for the second instalment of the labels artist series, big old beats and his hometown of Barnsley are equally well represented in this standard-setting collection of formative bangers. From the ethnic sweeps of underground favourite Cape Town and key-heavy Threesixty collaboration 'Invader' right through to the minimalistic haven of 'Spaced Out', dexterity and undisputable talent shine throughout Special's sterling compilation efforts.
