Time has come to sum up this amazing year with a new compilation. ‘Family Piknik – Casa de Flamingos All Stars 2020’ is a collection of the 15 most marking releases of the year, with key remixes by Hernan Cattaneo, Theus Mago, Popof, Quenum, K.E.E.N.E. and the strongest original tracks released these past months. It also features a 2 hours continuous mix by Tom Pooks himself, recorded during the lockdown. French maestro gives much relief to these 2020 releases, incorporating some additional effects, adding some hypnotic loops to build a timeless mixed manifesto.
Tom Pooks says “2020 has been such a frustrated year for all of us in the music and entertainment industry. We kept on releasing music while most of us on this planet were not allowed to dance and enjoy live music because of the pandemic. It is very painful to release Dance music when you can’t share it behind the decks and have a party going with crazy people in front of you. Releasing this compilation is a way to celebrate the great evolution of our label in this very specific context. It is also a message of hope and faith in the music we do love and support.”
Tom Pooks mix is available to stream and download via Soundcloud.
