Alright, so when you think of German electronic/house/trance music, you probably think of really intense beats, rhythms, and bass, with a super deep and creepy German guy singing in a low monotone. Or we’re just exaggerating because an electro-Rammstein comes to mind at first thought.

This is not the case for the first ever Conya Compilation, Broaden Your Horizons Pt. 1 & 2! Originally founded in 2002, the record label wanted to focus on tribal house music however its made a shift to soulish, groovy deep electro-house dance music crafted by some of the best foreign house artists including Jay Tripwire, Manuel Tur, Jay West, Gianluca Pighi, Haldo, Sebastian Davidson, and Brazilian Soul Crew. Part 1 of Broaden Your Horizons, “The Soulful Rub,” mostly consists of laidback soul that you can still definitely dance to. Part 2 of the compilation, “The Deeper Club,” focuses on the deeper house and electronic side of Conya Records. The purchase of either part comes with a DJ mix of the tracks by Henri Kohn who compiled Broaden Your Horizons.

No, this ain’t yo run-of-the-mill compilation, but it’s a diverse collection of super good European/Canadian/Russian electronic music – and no it’s not reminiscent of an electro-Rammstein at all, just in case that thought is still in your head. Although that would probably be interesting too!
