Cinematic is a term long associated with acclaimed dance-music innovators Hybridand that widescreen emphasis comes even more into focus on Hybrid's ground-breaking new double-disc mix collection, Soundsystem 01 (Hope Recordings).

On CD 1 of Soundsystem, Truman and Healings fuse actual film scores and ambient electronica together for the first time, making for an unforgettable downtempo odyssey: here, glitchy, atmospheric tracks from Trentemoller, Spooky, Andy Page, and new Hybrid vocalist Charlotte James (who contributes a haunting new chill-out classic, Shadows of the City)blend seamlessly with edgy score selections from films like Babel and 28 Days Later.
The more upfront, club-oriented disc of Soundsystem 01 also features some surprises for Hybrid fans. For one, while big-room icons like Sasha, Quivver and Elite Force are represented, Soundsystem shifts the duos trademark progressive/breaks sound into a predominantly techier, 4/4-driven groove.
