Legowelt, Awanto3 and William Kouam Djoko all feature on the Amsterdam label's biggest release to date.
Tom Trago's Voyage Direct has revealed plans to issue a compilation, with some of the label's artists heading out on a 16-date European tour.
Legowelt (as House Of Jezebel), Awanto3, Melon and William Kouam Djoko are among the artists featured on First Mission, which brings together new tracks and material released on Voyage Direct over the past five years.
"It's not just a label, but also a community," says Trago, who also chips in with a track on the compilation. "There's so much stuff happening [in Amsterdam], for me it's unnecessary to look elsewhere for good music." He adds: "It's a very personal thing. I know everybody I release music from personally, we hang out, they come with me to clubs, and we do parties together."
First Mission will be released as a two-disc CD on April 27th, while three separate vinyl samplers will come out on March 30th, April 13th and April 30th. Trago and his crew will head out on spring tour in support of the compilation, starting with a show at Bazaar in Brussels on March 20th. Dates follow in Amsterdam, Moscow, London, Munich and Paris, before things wrap up in Rotterdam on the May 9th. Check the listings below for full details.
