Listening notes

Released in 2005, Vinyl Sampler "Excess Music" is a four-track various artists compilation issued by Excess Music on vinyl under catalog number VSE001. The release spans two sides, placing two tracks on each, and draws from the electro, electronic, and house genres.

Side A opens with "Feed Back," followed by "Love Is War (Chicken Lips Remix)." The presence of a Chicken Lips remix on the A-side indicates at least one outside production credit contributed to the record, though the full roster of artists and producers across the release is not detailed here. Side B carries "All We Need" and closes with "Diamond Girl (DJ Flex Remix)," again featuring remix work, this time credited to DJ Flex.

As the catalog number VSE001 suggests, this appears to be the first release issued under the Excess Music imprint, functioning simultaneously as a label introduction and a showcase of the sounds the imprint intended to represent. Sampler releases of this kind were a common format within electronic music distribution during the period, offering record shops and DJs a concise representation of a label's aesthetic across a small selection of tracks.

No track durations are documented in the available information. Personnel beyond the two remix credits noted in the track titles are not confirmed by the verified facts on hand.

This draft has not been reviewed for accuracy and should be checked against primary sources before publication. Claims about the label's founding, the full list of contributing artists, and any biographical or discographical context for the remix credits require independent verification.
