Rumor: The next installment of Sasha's Involver is to be completed soon

We can all remember in late March of 2008 Invol2ver was released. I am almost certain that we will hear the new Involver by the end of this month, or at least a preview of it, but dont take my word for it, take Sasha's.

To celebrate their tenth year in the business and with over 100 releases now firmly under their belt, Audio Therapy thought it high time they celebrated the story so far. This Is Audio Therapy Volume 2 is a collection of some of their finest works all of which have been deftly remixed by some of today's finest production talent.

Spread across two discs which contain exclusive full length reworks of classic Audio Therapy tracks from Infusions Legacy , Habershams Dryspell and Nick Muirs G Platz, Disc 1 is expertly mixed by label head honcho Dave Seaman where as Disc 2 is a bonus unmixed version with the tracks in their entirety. This release sets out to showcase the wealth and talent of the labels esteemed catalogue all of which have been diligently and painstakingly updated by the likes of Robert Babicz, Pig & Dan, Quivver, Charlie May, Gusgus, Glenn Morrison, Funkagenda, Guy J, Eelke Kleijn, Simon & Shaker to name but a few.

The tracklisting over both CDs is second to none and is bolstered even further by the addition of 2 totally exclusive tracks from Dave Seaman himself, one of which is a collaboration with legendary producer Josh Gabriel and the other being an unreleased remix of his own much lauded single Gobbledygook.

Dave Seaman commented, We've breathed new life into a catalogue we're very proud of and can only hope that the listening experience matches the enjoyment we had putting the whole project together. It's been one helluva ride. Here's to the next ten years. Acid house is dead, long live acid house.

Along with the double CD release, there will also be a full digital release in bundle and single format as well as a Limited Edition Vinyl run with some of the releases highlights.
