Various Artists

Home Sweet Home. Following Tim "Love" Lee, Nouvelle Vague and Nightmares On Wax, another big name in contemporary feel-good electronica recently shared with us a sofa, headphones and a good stash of vinyl.

Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider aka BOOZOO BAJOU need an introduction only in the rarest of cases. With three instant classic studio albums under their belt - "Satta" (2001), "Dust My Broom" (2005) and "Grains" (2009) - the two Nurembergers have long since successfully established their unmistakable signature sound... and they ranked from the get-go among the absolute darlings of international trendsetters and crème de la crème DJs. Anyone who's familiar also with (and hence appreciates) the BOOZOOS' so lovingly compiled Juke Joint compilations can be in no doubt that their "Coming Home" sequel album similarly gets to the heart of the matter.  

With rare, sometimes exclusive and thoroughly club-influenced refinements from the hands of maestros such as Henrik Schwarz, Soulphiction, the Motor City Drum Ensemble or Move D, this nonchalent duo from the south of the republic goes in the truest sense of the word for some deep insight - and adds a further highlight to its own discography, as if by sleight of hand.

Florian puts it in a nutshell: "It's actually simply a matter of bringing the right sound at the right moment. The music of Sarah Vaughn is perfect one moment then has to be followed the very next by a track from Move D!"

When, let's say, in a decade or so, the most sublime selections from all the sound archives and record collections in the universe are up for an award, it could well be that these here are also in the running. Because knowing hands and two wise pairs of ears dispatched them on the fast track of musical history... in a motor primed by good taste, and with deliberate disregard for any seasonal fashion trends or flash in the pan Pop hype that might be cluttering up the rear view mirror. Typical BOOZOO BAJOU, in a word.

That's just how good "Coming Home" can sound. One simply needs to know how to get there and, of course, just where "home" lies. And there's one thing we can be absolutely sure of: the boys from BOOZOO BAJOU know that "home is where the heart is"... in their case, bang between the coffee table and a twirling glitter ball!
