SHAPES DIAMONDS/Colored Vinyl

Description

'Shapes: Diamonds' is the latest instalment in the essential compilation series curated by Tru Thoughts A&R and co-founder, renowned DJ Robert Luis. After 20 years of independent music, the ‘Shapes’ albums continue to encompass the best of our wide-ranging, international roster, featuring timeless classic cuts from the Tru Thoughts catalogue, recent releases and inspired remixes. “Shapes: Diamonds showcases new artists on the label alongside more established artists. I always enjoy putting these compilations together as it lets me take a step back and check out the current catalogue and musical direction of the label. As with all our ‘Shapes’ compilations, there is a broad mix of genres from artists who are passionate about the creative music they make, so the quality is great.” – Robert Luis The release of ‘Shapes: Diamonds’ comes 20 years after Tru Thoughts’ first ever compilation, ‘When Shapes Join Together’, released on 26th October 1999. Alongside tracks from Steady (Tru Thoughts’ first ever release), Bonobo and Chris Clark, ‘When Shapes Join Together’ featured a selection of cover photos that were all taken on a Saturday afternoon on a street corner in Brighton. Only 500 vinyl and 1000 CD copies were ever made. ‘Shapes: Diamonds’ is available on mint green double vinyl and as a limited-edition orange double vinyl.
