Australian labelhead AK SPORTS has been building to the sophomore release on her imprint for some time now, with singles from the V/A having been released each week since its announcement in April:

“This is an exploration of new-world-rave, taking 90s rave to the global internet village,” AK SPORTS tells Mixmag. “I’m proud to present my first V/A on CLUB MADHOUSE, connecting various emerging, established and masked producers from the UK, so-called Australia, Mexico, Colombia, Ireland, America and Baghdad playing hard, fast, fun and sometimes ridiculous music.

“With peer reviews the likes of ‘ridiculous – but amusing and fun’, ‘quite the mad collection’, ‘wild comp’, ‘what’s going on here, I love it’, ‘bass face all the way’ and of course ‘downloaded for r hawtin’, I would like to say mischief managed.”
