Description

Boston s Dana Kelley aka Callisto is a man whose music has long been the subject of much deserved adulation. A student of the deep and soulful, an explorer of the melodic and galactic, and an artist who manages to capture imaginations with his supremely crafted sonics. He is a much missed artist, someone who departed the physical too early, but the body of work he left behind has spoken to generations of listeners, DJ s and fans in equal measure. This, the second instalment of 3 compilations focused on Callisto s golden period of productions for the legendary Chicago label Guidance Recordings, sees even more of Dana s most highly coveted work featured side by side, chock full of rarities and classics. A celebration of the man s music, his vision and the forward looking nature of his music that is still intact today. It s hard to think of someone with a more unique style and with a truer idea of their own sound-world. Callisto takes us deep inside, into other worlds with his own individualistic take on house, techno, ambient and even jungle and D&B. These compilations celebrate one of the most idiosyncratic artists from the second wave of US house music producers, a truly essential body of work presented here respectfully, sourced from all audio sources courtesy of Above Board Projects, Guidance Recordings and Dana s family. Mastered by Curved, London and with special artwork by Atelier Superplus featuring a never before seen image of Dana from his family s photo albums.
