Jet Peks is a Ukranian DJ who mashes up samples and danceable drumbeats. This tracks incorporates lots of different sounds, and flows together so well you won't notice.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. This track runs a little long for my taste, but it is mellow and easy on the ears.

"Perdue" by Overvince

From the album "Etincelle"

This is classical folk guitar. I like it. I wish I knew more about classical folk guitar to tell you more about its strengths.

== "The Absolute" by Anitek ==

Froom the album "Anitek Instrumentals, vol 1"

This is another mashup track. I like the combination of saxophone melody and drum track underlay. Anitek's schtick starts to wear over the course of an entire album, but each track is pretty good individually.

Italian ragtimey piano jazz. I love the energy of this piece. I almost included "The Entertainer" on this sampler, but there are other ragtimey jazz pieces that are not quite as cliched. This album includes quite a few of them.
