This sweet release comes with 5 lovley mixes to choose from with LickQuid Lyfe NYC Mix(Which is just lovely complete with wonderful keyboard work and saxophone is marvleous!).The "4Am Groove Mix" is yet another example how Wil Milton's sound has become better n better & diverse.This mix has a dope broken beat,percussions and sexy organ riffs to make it complete.The third mix is "Wil Milton Live on Drums" which the title explains exactly what it represents,a true slammin dancefloor broken beat that all dancers will appreciate.The last 2 remaining tracks represent Drum Tracks of which I love to use to run more music behind them both.This is a qualtiy release.

Jefferson Velazquez-Between Houses EP
(Beatport Exclusive)
Mixes by Jefferson Valaquez,Imugem Orihasam,and Paskal.
This lable has captured my attention as they continue to release some of those deep house moments "some" of us still enjoy,Yes...the sexy laid back deep as in Larry Heard,Jordash & JuJu,Theo Parrish,Moodyman and Dj Aakmael just to name a few.It seems that with each release,the quality of production work is getting better and better.I've also have received quite a few L.Ps from this label.Here we go.
Between Houses EP comes with 3 deep undeground cuts titled "Des".
1) The Original Mix- Very spacey keys and thumpin deep beats makes this one very moody!
2) Imugem Orihasam - This one is bit harder but those deep chords is wassup!! Deephouse at it's best.
3) Paskal - WOW ! Coming in at 115 Bmps of which I would like to hear more of,this is it! Paskal has all the deep house elements on lock with this mix! Fav Mix.
4) For the Love of Nothing - Original Mix. More upbeat tempo in this track but still as effective as the others and will work on those atmospheric environments early morning 10am + parties..Just marvelous.
5) Anti-Crisis - This is an unusal cut in that it offers a bit of an electronic while not loosin any of the quality found in that DETROIT sound.
Etoka Records-EKAR020 Various Artist Pt.2
Mixes by Si Muir,Paskal,Verano,Sumsuch,Deymare,Andy Hart,Fassbinder,Jose Quilez,Hannes Smith and Jaska Pavicevic.
This is what I call a serious line-up of producers each brining thier experiances made for the dancefloors across our globe.Time to pass the tourch down to these underated artist and producers.I've played quite a few of these on my Cyberjamz Shows,if time permits check them out on my podcast.
http://soul_oasis.podomatic.com/ "Danceforever" Series.
1) About You - Paskal nailed it with this deep slow 115 BPM gem.Big dogs look out!
2) No Deeper Meaning - Deymare throws down a serious spacey joint full of percussions and over-flowing keyboard riffs with added bass-line is the correct elements for this type of track.Just wonderful !
3) White Dew (Original Mix) - Andy Hart starts this beautiful mix with a small sample of Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Do you love what you feel" and the rest as we say is history! Deep!!!
4) Ask my heart(Original Mix) - Fassbinder,where did this label find such hidden talent? Im sure these guys have other material and since I've heard thier production work for the first time,Im truly impressed.This cut is ALL that!! Trust!
5) Righteously So Not(Original Mix)- Jaska Pavicevic offers something I cannot refuse.A mezmorizin deephouse treat that even those that dont like underground house will become a fan just because of the qualtiy of music presented in this mix.Drive in the car and pop this L.P in the cd player.
6) Incubus(Original Mix)- Jose Quilez comes smashing threw the dancefloor with this cut.80's elements and keys make this one yet another number on this L.P
7) Sweep(Original Mix)-Verano made me notice that this music is not dead! More on the peak-side of things but stillkeepin it a bit obscure is something I truly enjoy and so will you.
8) My Keepsake(Original Mix) SumSuch..who are these massive producers that came out of nowhere to surprise me? This cut sounds like some ol skool 80s-90s flava without loosing the taste for the new.
9) Smoke abd Mirrors (Original Mix)- Si Muir offers a dope 115 BMP joint that captures that slower house style we all used to enjoy.Dope!
10) Gutenachkuss(Original Mix)- Hannes Smith is another hidden gem somewhere in this world and is ready to be heard.Period ! What a lovely track! Bravo !
