Following the Belgrade Coffee Shop compilation and the joint album
by Jazzva and Speed Limit (Belgrade Coffee Shop Sessions Vol. 1)
B92 and its sub-label Stereo Freeze continues their presentation
of the local electronic music scene. This album features eleven
tracks of which nine are exclusive recordings made specially for
this release or the rare works of projects no longer around today.
"Bringing the emerging talents of
Belgrade's finest to a wider audience, B92's sub label Stereo Freeze
document more of the scene's outstanding cuts. Not focussing on
one genre specifically, "Belgrade Coffee Shop 2" offers
house, downtempo and breaks delights. The quality of production
here is outstanding, and this CD is a perfect showcase for the music
of the Balkans. Vulkan's "Evening" is a shimmering jazz
stepping key ode, with strolling percussion and a beautiful vibraphone.
Speed Limit's "Are You Ready?" ups the tempo, using superlative
vocals, flashy percussion and smooth soulful keys, to produce a
flowing House ride. Jerema's "Kadett" cruises along, with
a harmonious guitar, steadily travelling percussion and an earthy
bass. Switch Mono Vs Natural Born's "Streetwise" takes
conga led percussion, a gutsy bass and spoke vocal, to create something
quite different. This compilation is a must, for those who are open
minded, and want something new and exciting." Jon Freer,
