Lektroluv 5 compilation CD review

Mixing sleaze with chique, old with new, accessible with obscure … Lektroluv 5 presents an exciting package. But understand this : quality definitely precedes attitude on this release. As such, Lektroluv 5 succeeds where so many other electro-compilations fail nowadays : it does not feel tired and it does not try to be experimental or freaky just for the sake of it.
