I’m A Cliché will start a new chapter with a various artist compilation titled Bongo Beats & Bankruptcy.

Bongo Beats & Bankruptcy is the French label’s second compilation and features 13 tracks across three vinyls. The motive behind it is to mark the start of a new chapter with a “greatly reduced release schedule,” the label explains. Each track celebrates the label’s quirks and eccentricities, serving as a tongue-in-cheek snapshot that captures the label’s DNA.

“Whether they are downtempo, uptempo, or ambient like Orestt’s contribution, each tune on this compilation distills in its own idiosyncratic way I’m a Cliché’s essence: electronic music influenced by club culture but in no way constrained to the dancefloor,” the label explains.

Included is a rare synth track from Ivan Smagghe & Marc Collin as Volga Select. It’s joined by June’s dreamy tune at the crossroads between wave and kraut influences, Coy’s mutant synth arpeggios, and an old-school wave cut by Oliver Decrow mixed by Dunkeltier. Cosmo Vitelli, the label head, also contributes. You can see the full tracklisting below.

Vitelli, a French DJ-producer, created I’m a Cliché in 2004. Yuksek, Simian Mobile Disco, and Azari & III have all released on the label.
