Beatscootin’ Groove Electro Sounds – CD Comp

Launched at Club Kooky in Sydney, the Groovescooter label’s debut compilation from 1999 featured original tracks from the cream of the Australian electronic scene at the time, including faTT deX (aTomiK-aL), UTE, The Hoong & I (DJ Abel el Toro & HJ Kim), FC Europa and The Blue Hour (aliases for Andy Rantzen of Itch-E and Scratch-E), The 5000 Fingers of Dr.T and Little Nobody vs E, plus remixes by General Electrik and Groovescooter/Society. Mixing everything from breaks and drum ‘n’ bass, to disco, house, techno and future-jazz, reviews were universally glowing.

“intoxicating“ 4/5 ” [3D World]  • “pretty spesh… an excellent electro comp 4/5″ [Revolver] • “world class… cool” 9.5/10 [hEARd]
“Essential… ‘The Score’ is possibly the best piece of Australian electronica I’ve heard this year” [Zebra /Inpress] “ice cool” [Sydney Star Observer]

” …’Beatscootin’ is.. a compilation of rather inspired chilled grooves,
 swanky electronica, and jazzy drum ‘n’ bass tracks… Cindii impresses with
opening track ‘Aloha Daddy-O’, AtomiK-aL tweaks the funk on ‘Rok da Blok’
and Champagne (featuring Corrina) score full points for the reintroduction
of vocals in a smooth and hip-shaking groove called ‘Reel’. Society do a
noirish beat-mix of Mat White’s ‘Circle of Friends’, while Little Nobody vs E
sample double-bass and brass choruses. They pitch these up against a moog
bassline and a feel of melancholic angst and somehow come up breathing
positivity. But the coup d’état here is rammed home by General Electrik,
who wins new friends with his gorgeous remix of FC Europa’s track ‘The Score’ -
it’s possibly the best piece of Australian electronica I’ve heard this year. 
Essential.” [Alec Mackenzie – Inpress/Zebra]
