Jim Byers says these records are kind of cool, by the way.
SINGLES
'Sitting In The Sun‘: Dialect (Distance) Wicked production from Gemini and JT Donaldson, but it‘s that man Derrick Carter who’s doing the biz with his brilliant deep, dirty, funked up remix. Stunning.
‘Feel My Desire': JD Braithwaite (Connected)
Edinburgh’s Soul Renegades get their hands on a vocal for the first time and come up with a ruff, raw, bumpy remix that works well. The dub ain‘t bad either. Plus mixes from Baffled and MJ Cole.
'Longing': Bernard Badie (Distance)
A cool male vocal with a moody US-style deep house track from the improving Chicago producer Badie. An excellent follow up to the ’Come Home’ EP.
‘Everybody Dance (The Horn Song)’: Barbara Tucker (Positiva)
The first lady of house lays a funky vocal over Pierre‘s driving ‘Horn’ track. The lyrics are fairly average, but it works.
‘Star Chasers': 4 Hero (Talkin Loud) The main MAW meets 4 Hero mixes are pretty weak considering, so check the more clubby 'Caught Up’ mix on the C- side. Or Just stick with the original.
‘Fresh Start (remixes)': Terra Deva (NRK Sound Division)
Two pumping dubs from Derrick Carter, but it‘s the Joshua mix, with its hypnotic groove and disco touches, that catches the ear.
'A Face In The Crowd': DJ Assassin (Cross Section)
Moody deep house/tech-house with a funky edge, a vocal element and a fat bass on this cracking label.
ALBUMS
‘The Beginning’: Kings Of Tomorrow (Distance)
Producers of the moment on the US house scene with a collection of their unique deep house/garage tracks. Strong stuff.
‘Tourism': Danny Tenaglia (Twisted UK) More of Tenaglia's classic ‘hard and soul‘ New York style. Nothing to match the quality of his amazing Kinane remix, but next single ’Music Is The Answer' is sure to be massive.
'Meridian‘: Ian Pooley (V2)
Not a bad album from Pooley, but not a ‘ great one either. The interesting
moments come when he chooses to experiment wrth different tempos. Worth a listen, definitely.
I Electriscity at The Catwalk. ‘Jplll--l;llll. l-‘ree. Chill out with a nice selection of sounds which run from hip hop to funky house. Check the early al‘ternoon session before this one kicks
