BACKBEATS CELEBRATES 15 YEARS OF DISCO & SOUL
Culled from the wealth of the Demon Music Group controlled catalogues, the Backbeats repertoire comes from the best collection of independent labels in the world including Hi, Cream, Philadelphia International, Sleeping Bag, Fresh, Streetwise, Idlers, Warlock, Easy Street, Sam, Chi-Sound, Trax, Philly Groove, Jewel, Paula, Ronn, Ace, Tribe, Invictus, Hot Wax, Music Merchant, Amazon and numerous other catalogues which have shaped the history of Black Music and Dance Culture over the years.
The first 10 albums in the Backbeats series have been designed by veteran compiler Ian Dewhirst perhaps best known for the ground-breaking Mastercuts series in the early 90s – a series which redefined the landscape of the compilation market. Backbeats has been designed to offer some of the best music in the world from some of the greatest independent labels over the last 50 years.
Released on Demon Digital Feb 22nd 2010

The recently released “Disco Discharge” series from Harmless is perfect in so many ways and the new “Backbeats” series seems destined to follow that same path. I am so looking forward to this new series from Ian Dewhirst.
As a collector, I’m big on physical media so my only question is: will this be available on compact disc or only as digital downloads? Thanks!
yeap there’s a physical offering also
