Here we have Smash Your Stereo 2009, the latest installment in the already plenty successful Onelove series, which was launched by the Melbourne night at the infamous Prince before taking it across the rest of the country. Of course, it’s now become an institution in filth, fun, fashion and fury. While by tradition these compilations tend to favour the safer big commercial hits, they always manage to throw in a couple of surprise stand outs, and this current compilation is the most daring in the series so far, with a return to a much slicker and edgier sound with a lot less cheese.

This may in part be thanks to the DJs however, with Jaun Kidd mixing the second CD who you might already know from his massive Now You’re Gone. But with its very tight and often overly safe mixing, it’s possible the success of this release could just as much be attributed to better music selection from the label. At its bravest, selections from Proxy and Autodidakt get some massive big-room electro going, while new kids Dragonite are definitely worth checking out.

As always these CDs run in a nice order, building progressively on each disc. Disc three delivers the tastiest picks of the three CDs, with some belting Tiga remixes grabbing your attention, and typically for the Onelove series, it saves the nastier stuff for those most capable and deserving. Those who are still standing at 6 in the morning, in other words. Appropriately mixed by Italian sensations The Bloody Beetroots, who currently have the world raving, the duo deliver a craftily-cut mix that refreshingly skimps on big vocals and showcases a heap of their own remixes.

Ultimately, the Onelove series has very successfully cornered its market. The cool neo-club kiddies who love to look spanking hot (to a sound track of hot music of course) are sure to lap it up. While their tastes might often be limited to electro and more electro, Onelove has made an artform out of doing this well. Smash Your Stereo 2009 will be eaten up by the candy house brigade, while still keeping things on the right side of credibility.
