VARIOUS — Lisztolove Vol. 2

Various – Lisztolove Vol. 2 appears on Lisztomania as catalogue LISZTWAX006, an exclusive vinyl release that gathers a handful of house-leaning cuts across disco and tech-house terrain. The compilation is positioned as a warm, groove-centric statement, promising selectors a blend of soulful vocal moments and timeless dancefloor energy. Lisztomania’s second instalment of the Lisztolove series follows the aesthetic set by its predecessor, continuing the label’s focus on curated house music that feels both classic and contemporary. While the label’s broader catalogue is not detailed here, this release reaffirms the imprint’s commitment to vinyl-only selections that celebrate groove and soul. Side A opens with Anthony Mea’s “Making Me Nervous”. The track establishes a welcoming atmosphere through woody, percussive drum textures that sit beneath smooth vocal lines and soft, atmospheric pads, creating an effortlessly engaging vibe. Erik Ellmann’s “Soft Bounce” follows, maintaining the percussive emphasis while introducing a supple rhythm enriched by soulful vocal cuts and a gentle chord progression that flows with natural ease. GMGN’s “Angel (For ABS)” leans into a jazzy, sample-driven aesthetic, gradually lifting the energy with finesse; its late-night builder quality makes it ideal for deep, glowing floors. Side B begins with The Satum’s “Larraine”, a mid-tempo cut that evokes ’80s-tinged vibes, offering a nostalgic yet fresh groove. Skarby’s “Find A Love” channels classic French-touch energy reminiscent of the golden 2000s era, delivering a polished, melodic thrust that fits comfortably after the previous track. The record closes with Reece Johnson’s “Now That I Love You”, an up-tempo soulful bumper primed for peak-time moments, providing a decisive finish that can propel a set into its climax. Within the context of the Lisztolove series, this compilation showcases the label’s knack for assembling tracks that balance melodic warmth with dancefloor drive. The selection highlights a range of production approaches—from percussive house to French-touch stylings—while maintaining a cohesive groove-first philosophy that aligns with current underground trends. For DJs, the record offers a versatile toolkit: the opening cuts work well for warm-up or early-set moments, the middle tracks provide a smooth transition into deeper territory, and the final bumper supplies the energy needed for peak-time peaks. Collectors will appreciate the exclusive vinyl format, which captures the tactile warmth and analog fidelity that the compilation’s music seeks to evoke. The release is pressed as an exclusive 12-inch vinyl, reflecting the label’s dedication to the format and to delivering a tactile listening experience that complements the curated house aesthetic.
