With this two-disc collection, French house DJ
Stéphane Pompougnac celebrates ten years of his compilation series Hôtel Costes by selecting the best tracks from the previous 12 volumes. This is great refresher or portable highlights collection for veteran fans, and an even better entry point for the curious. Slick, fashionable, downtempo music doesn’t have many friends better than
Pompougnac, and with only the best of the best represented here, even dingy basement apartments may feel like chic lofts if this is the soundtrack. ~ David Jeffries
