This release is a patchwork EP stitched from five different corners of sound. Old Leipzig buddies Steffen Bennemann & Vai open as W+L Schulze with something quietly luminous yet heavy in the low end. The title track A Place Like a Place by DJ Chrysalis sets the compass sharp toward leg-whipping energy, followed by Aguila's tribal-tinged rave momentum. Oase then slows the pulse with subtle textures and sampling finesse, before MTTY closes the showcase with a funky cut - another cherry on top of his string of strong releases this year.

It' less a neat compilation than a showcase of variety - a place where things don't match on purpose, but end up fitting anyway.
