14 tracks dug up: Finders Keepers

Over the last 5 years Finders Keepers has been on a relentless mission to unearth largely unheard gems from across the musical spectrum. Expertly curated, conceived and executed by Andy Votel, Dom Thomas and Doug Shipton, the label has methodically sunk its teeth into disparate cultural and historical strands, from the 'Anatloian Invasion' of Selda, Ersen and Mustafa Ozkent, to the incredible widescreen arrangements of Jean-Claude Vannier, the electronic experiments of Bruno Spoerri and the myriad Welsh-language gems compiled on the two 'Welsh rare Beat' collections . Even a young Vangelis has made an appearance on the label in the last few months. But regardless of who or what they turn up, Finders Keepers is just one of the few archival labels out there that reliably delivers something special with each and every new release, and if you find yourself double-taking in recognition of edits and loops used by a whole plethora of artists we could mention, you have the knowledge, resourcefulness and supreme aesthetic skills of these guys to thank. This 14 track selection should give you just a very small taste of what we mean, beyond there - you literally have a whole world of music to explore.
