File under house breakbeat techno and warehouse rave music. The Mental Groove Classic series returns with a treasure trove of rare and hard to find tracks plucked from the personal collection of label founder Olivier Ducret a pivotal figure in Switzerland's acid house and rave-era party scene The Mental Groove Classic series returns with a treasure trove of rare and hard to find tracks plucked from the personal collection of label founder Olivier Ducret a pivotal figure in Switzerland's acid house and rave-era party scene. On Volumes Two and Three of the series - the first installment hit stores in 2017 - the Mental Groove and Musique Pour La Danse label founder takes us back to the turn of the '90s a time he spent promoting parties in fields squats forests warehouses and former factories in and around Geneva and behind the counter of a record shop of the same name. While others in Switzerland's emerging dance music scene gravitated towards US house and garage Olivier and his crew opted for a bass breaks and techno-focused sound inspired by regular trips to clubs raves and record shops in the UK. Drawing directly from his own record box and a memory bank full of snapshots of euphoric dancefloor moments Mental Groove Classics volumes Two and Three sees Olivier reaching for cuts of near-mythical rarity genuinely overlooked gems and undeniably brilliant tracks that have left a long-lasting impression on the local raving landscape. It's an autobiographical audio document historical archive and personal musical statement all rolled into one inspired by a moment in time where musical boundaries were being redrawn in a wave of carefree optimism and freedom inspired new rave scenes across Europe and far beyond. - Matt Anniss Original artwork by Soho's Brain Club co-owner and artist of early British club culture Mark Wigan.
