i just wanted to say, from the first listen, in just alpha-order by artist, this is such an enjoyable, well-paced eclectic mix! I'm going to have this on replay for quite a while!
i know we are getting a track from Luminary and maybe a few more additions, but in the meantime, some comments (all positive!)

"Involuntary Dub" - A Gator Got Her - nice, relaxed tempo dub track to start the comp. There're so many surprises buried in the background, minimal but effective sounds upfront. Very smooth!

"Sidewalk Dramas" - AViD - what can i say, i apologize, esp for my "singing". it is what it is, and i hope you enjoyed the switch from guitar-driven to heavy breaks/electro in the middle, and back. This has been my "born slippy" for 5 years.

"A Whisper, A Glance" - Cranks: nice build from just the bass and beat to a very epic track! The octave-up pattern remains and there are just so many hooks, it's immediately catchy!

"V2/The dumbest thing i ever heard a smart girl say" -Dr. Processor. Well, if it isn't our old friend, the Professor Marshall Watson! As always with his tunes, the glitchy beats mix with the warm organic sounding pads and sonic experiments to immerse you in his musical world.

"Midnight Dub" - Grandbrother/feat. Janie - such a sleek, sexy chilled track! It's nice to hear a female vocal on this compilation in honor of the dreamgirls! very well produced and this could/should be on any number of Chill/House collections.

"DGL" - Lx Nen - this one tackes me on a journey. So many lovely loops (the piano, the pads) and a great drum pattern, it just keps evolving and i keep hitting repeat! Well done!

Island Hopping" - Maus. i already told this to Maus, but in addition to being a swell webhoster, he makes awesome tunes! This one seems like "In Sides" - era orbital: a bit aggro, very epic, but with cutting-edge beats.

"Firefly" - Sputnikk: i've been enjoying your tunes for 3 or 4 years, and they just get better and better! This one builds so steadily and drives without crashing around. It's stellar! i like the simple intro and outtro, too...a sonic firefly in my earphones!

"Weekend Cute" - the Night Owl: Short, but very sweet. Every element is added at exactly the right place, and the warmth of the synths offset by the fenetic hi-hat pattern makes for a lovely 2 minutes, leaving me wanting more!

"Dreamgirl..." - Tin Foil Hats: what a fun trak to finish with! This is the sound of the future by way of the 80's: analog bloopy goodness and that great vocoded robot-in-love!

Everyone, great efforts! No weak tracks at all (well, maybe that AViD sillyness, but every comp. has the dud that makes the rest sound even better! Thanks for letting me sit in with you professionals). Surely a lot of effort went into this and it shows.
