Description:

Ivan Smagghe curates the latest chapter in the acclaimed The Sound of Love International compilation series, bringing his unique perspective to this limited edition 2x12 Inch Vinyl Double LP release on Love International X Test Pressing. Originally released on black vinyl and quickly sold out, this exclusive Transparent Green Vinyl edition offers collectors another chance to own one of the most intriguing compilations in the series.

Guided by Ivan Smagghe’s long-standing philosophy of “the style of no style”, The Sound of Love International #008 explores the stranger, more unexpected corners of electronic music. Moving effortlessly between Balearica, Downtempo, Leftfield House, IDM, Proto House and experimental sounds, this 12-track journey reflects the freedom, curiosity and eclectic spirit that defines the legendary Love International Festival.

Rather than following a traditional genre path, Smagghe creates a compilation that feels organic, intuitive and beautifully unpredictable. From the hypnotic atmosphere of Chris & Cosey’s ‘Fantastique (Carl Craig Remix)’ to the cosmic electronics of Mat101’s ‘Sintesi’, the Balearic dreaminess of Aquarius Heaven’s ‘Universe’ and the mysterious textures of White Car’s ‘Statues In Mist’, every track captures the balance between discovery and familiarity.

Featuring music from Family Of God, Carolyn, Polygamy Boys, Prinz Ezo, Rave 2001, Leigh Dickson, John Spring and more, this compilation is a carefully curated snapshot of the festival’s atmosphere — unpolished in all the right places, deeply musical and always searching for something different.

Perfect for collectors and DJs looking for Balearic vinyl, Leftfield House records, Experimental Techno, Downtempo electronic music, Love International Festival releases and essential Double LP vinyl compilations.
