Listening notes

D.J.s On Vinyl, Vol. 2 was released in 1991 on New Generation Records under catalog number NGR 002. The existence of a volume number indicates this was at least the second release in an ongoing series from the label, though the full scope of that series is not confirmed by the available information.

The compilation spans a notably varied range of genres, drawing together tracks categorized across contemporary R&B, electronic, funk and soul, garage house, and house. This breadth of style across a single eight-track vinyl release reflects the cross-pollination that characterized dance-oriented music in the early 1990s, when the boundaries between these categories were actively being negotiated on club floors and in DJ sets. The framing suggested by the title — music curated with or for DJs — is consistent with that context, though no further detail about the compilers or contributing artists is confirmed here.

The record is divided evenly across two sides. Side A opens with "Keep On Believing" and continues through "Music Mental #4 (Not Yet)," "Melting Pot," and "Dance Now." Side B carries "Come With Me," "Burnin' Up Philly," "I Can't Take That," and closes with "Acid Rain." Track durations are not documented in the available information. The titles alone suggest the functional, floor-ready intent common to DJ-oriented compilations of the period, though no claims about individual track content can be made from the data at hand.

New Generation Records is identified only through this release and its catalog number. No additional verified information about the label's origin, roster, or distribution is available for inclusion here.
