But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world, stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human. The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic language from which all storytelling is spun. With Rags To Riches, Chapter 24 returns with seven stories in sound collected from artists across the world to bring these themes to life. The compilation begins with Oliver Schories, a titan of the scene who regularly bestrides labels such as Suara, Stil vor Talent and his own SOSO. ‘Eno’ is an arp-led driving track overlaid with a hooky cut up vocal that perfectly sets us on our way. Darin Epsilon (Renaissance, Sudbeat, Hope) brandishes his own thunderbolts with ‘Jenova’, an effortless and deep cut of musical techno that sparkles with hints of summer. JOBE (Connaisseur, Selador) is up next with ‘Aurora’, exemplifying his both timeless and forward-thinking approach to production. A killer sub line takes hold over cosmic atmospheres. The cornucopia of treats continues with the addition of newcomer Roundhead, a highly talented 22 year old Italian producer who delivers the massive ‘Durante il Viaggio’. Analogue synths are coupled with outstanding organic elements. Einmusika and Chapter 24 artist Christopher Ivor’s dreamy and emotional ‘Back Home’ retains the organic and instrumental features, coupling them with his signature grooves - before label regular KatrinKa adds her own wistful, evocative contribution with ‘Fragments’. Finally, Danny Oliveira makes his return to Chapter 24 in combination with his partner George Gomes with his new act, Shades of Light. ‘Sierra’ is a widescreen and ambitious piece: deep, dirty and beautiful music to rule the cosmos. They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories. And so, as the storyteller utters that age old, magical phrase "Once upon a time...", let yourself be carried away… Support from the likes of Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Nick Warren, Ramon Tapia, Maceo Plex, Claude VonStroke, Above & Beyond, Betoko, Edu Imbernon, Eelke Kleijn, Frankey & Sandrino, Paco Osuna, Gabriel Ananda, D-Nox, Jeremy Olander, Petar Dundov, Cevin Fisher, Jimmy Van M, Cid Inc, Piemont, Atapy, Atish, Gai Barone, Chris Fortier, Franz Alice Stern, Djuma Soundsystem, Soul Button, BLANCAh, Luis Leon, Olivier Weiter, Marc Poppcke, Nick Devon, Just Her and many more!
