White
Mink : Black Cotton (Electro Swing vs Speakeasy Jazz) Vol. 3 is a double
digipack CD compilation and download album. As with the previous
album-charting, silver-disc'd CDs, side one (White Mink) presents a diverse
modern take, while the other side (Black Cotton) is all vintage. It is the
latest, long-awaited, instalment in Freshly Squeezed's hugely succesful and
highly influencial album series described as "Electro Swing's first
landmark moment" by Mixmag. It is this series more than any other that was
part of the van-guard of a global zeitgeist and that sets the gold standard for
this new genre.
Compiled
by label boss, DJ and world-wide radio host, Nick Hollywood, the first CD
includes several exclusive tracks including a brand new remix of the Squirrel
Nut Zippers, Kid Kasino (feat. Shea Soul) and Swing Republic not available
anywhere else. CD 2 features 12 re-mastered classics from the prohibition-era's
78rpm jazz age and is dedicated to the memory of London's late DJ, El Nino.
Since
the launch of our first volume, White Mink has become the worlds leading
electro swing club event, described as "One hell of a turbo-charged
party" (Time Out) and named the 2nd best party in the UK by Mixmag. We
have presented numerous sell-out shows by the biggest names in the genre
including Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace at venues such as London's O2 Shephards
Bush Empire and KOKO with numerous large festival stages hosted from
Glastonbury to Latitude, the Edinburugh Fringe to Love Supreme, Bestival to
Boomtown.
As the
first White Mink album in two years, the anticipation for Vol.3 is greater than
ever. We think that this is perhaps the best compilation in the series so far
and we hope you'll agree, it has been well worth the wait!
