Anthony Collins
Doubts & Shouts Vinyl Sampler 2

Listening notes

Released in 2009 on Freak n' Chic, Anthony Collins' Doubts & Shouts Vinyl Sampler 2 carries the catalog number FNC42 and arrives as a two-track vinyl release. The record situates itself across the intersecting territories of electronic music, tech house, techno, and tribal, a combination of genres that defined a particular strand of European club culture during that period.

The A-side presents "Tango Bizarre" in a remix by Losoul, running at nine minutes and fifty-two seconds. The B-side offers "Prism" reworked by Seuil, credited specifically as Seuil's L4e Remix, at seven minutes and eleven seconds. Both tracks are remixes, meaning the release functions as a showcase for outside interpretations of Collins' material rather than original compositions presented in their initial form.

The sampler format itself is worth noting. Positioned as the second in a sampler series tied to the Doubts & Shouts release on Freak n' Chic, this record was designed to excerpt and promote music from a larger body of work, with the vinyl format serving as the vehicle for that purpose. The involvement of Losoul and Seuil as remixers places the release within a network of artists working across similar genre territory during this era, though the nature and extent of any collaborative relationships falls outside what the available information can confirm.

At under twenty minutes of total playing time across its two sides, Doubts & Shouts Vinyl Sampler 2 is a compact document. What the record does establish clearly is its place within the Freak n' Chic catalog and its alignment with the tech house and techno currents that the label navigated during this period.
