After the success of last year's compilation Paloma Vs Virus 003, beloved Berlin club Paloma's label imprint readies a weighty follow up, named Paloma Vs Virus 005 as our struggle against the pandemic still continues. Again the music was gathered from Paloma's vital network, representing the club's renowned diversity with a plethora of sounds by established and up-and-coming artists. Straight from the top of the stairs, the range of the tracks contains previously unreleased artifacts from back in the day (Jonzon, Stefan Goldmann), sleazy bass queerness (Toni & Mash), leftfield jams (SVN, Dynamo Dreesen & SJ Tequilla, Am Kinem), deep techno excursions (Laura BCR, Simcha, Ady Toledano, Xyla, Eluize), funked up disco groovers (Hans Nieswandt, Erobique), purple ambient UKG (Bakläxa, Premis), blissed out deep house (Chris Coco, Phonk D, Sami Reza), rave euphoria (Sarah Farina, Route 8, RR), driving techno cuts (Kasper Marott, Berni), peak time house tunes (Meggy, Antikkka), club soul (Mandel Turner, LeCiel), and a vaccination centre anthem (Eva Be feat. Dr. Needles).
