Vinyl Loops Vol. 2

Listening notes

Vinyl Loops Vol. 2 is a various artists compilation released in 2001 on the Dance All Day label, carrying the catalog number DADVL002. The record collects three tracks across its two sides, drawing from a notably eclectic range of genres including electronic, happy hardcore, new wave, and trance.

The A-side is occupied entirely by a 12" extended version of "Blue Monday," running to 7 minutes and 29 seconds. The track's association with new wave situates it alongside the compilation's broader genre spread, which shifts considerably as the record moves to its B-side. "Schöneberg," presented here in a Marmion remix, opens that side with the longest cut on the release at 9 minutes and 11 seconds, and carries a trance orientation. The side closes with "Hardcore Vibes (Extended Version)," a 4-minute-47-second track that completes the record's range with a happy hardcore entry.

Taken together, the three tracks span a combined runtime of just over 21 minutes, with the two B-side selections accounting for just under half of that total between them. The sequencing places the most genre-diverse pairing on the B-side, moving from a long-form trance remix into a comparatively compact hardcore piece.

As the second installment in the Vinyl Loops series from Dance All Day, the release continues a catalog built around extended and remixed versions suited to DJ use, a function suggested both by the track lengths and the prevalence of remix and extended designations across the tracklist.
