"Beautiful Stranger" - Al Olive
"No Suicide" - Nicole Mitchell

What we have here in this gorgeous package entitled "Underground Resurgence" with the fantastic vocals of Al Olive.This is nothing but the best in Chicago Fusion and with live musicians incorporated within the production work by Vick Lavender,this is the way it should be done.
"Beautiful Stranger" is just a marvelous track with meaningful lyrics with live guiter and saxophone makes this one special track.It's all about quality when it comes to Sophisticado Recordings.
"No Suicide" is yet another soulful offering with live elements to compliment the lovely sensual vocals by Nicole Mitchell and live saxophone make up for nice ride into the night.
Sit back,grab a glass of your favorite beverage and enjoy these 2 quality releases on Sophisticado Records.

Track Pick:
Dasoul & Fabry Diglio feat.Ngakula
Musoko Soukali

This is one heck of a package featuring some hot mixes by some very talented producers.The African vocals is definitely made for the dancers and lovers of music period.The great release comes with 10 qualtiy mixes and I for one cannot find a favorite mix for all the producers invovled in the project bring out the best they have to offer without over doing each other.Fantastic music to compliment the vocals of Ngakula.Back to the mother-land we go !!

Can you Feel it ( 11 inch feat. Jesse Lee Davis - Dubbyman Remix)
Wild Trackin Records
http://wildtrackin.com
Here we have a very nice deep vocal cut with the deep heavy voice by Jesse Lee Davis (Sounds like Barry White).The women will love this and the spoken word over those deep rhythms are just right.The producers Dubbyma & Venedikt Reyf did thier thing on this cut.The chords & piano patterns alone make this one for the dancefloor.
Tracklist:
1)Dubbyman Remix - Lovin this mix!
2)Venedikt Reyf - This is just as good!
3)Original Mix- Can I feel it?? Yes! Deepness with that Barry White feel to it by Jesse Lee Davis.


Trin' to Find a Way ( Black Alley )
Brown Skin Music

Black Alley comes correct with a hot nice pieace which offers a spoken word over a sizzling mezmorizing beat.This track rocks! Immni Brown,Jimmi Hendrick's did thier thing on the mixes.The Reduced Vox Mix is tight as well.A solid pacage.


Festina Lente & Davor Pomir - Eigensinn
Festina Lente & Davor Pomir - It's About Our Time
Nightchild Records.
Produced by Festina Lente & Davor Pomir on behalf of NightChild Records.
Nightchild Records continue thier quest to bring us some of the best in deep house music and does not dissapoint with this very nice release.Both tracks are just very uplifting with mezmorizing synths and music to complete this compositon.Full support on both tracks.

"Dirty Mind"(Animal House feat.Jocelyn Mathieu)
I've been waiting for this release to finally see a day of light and now it's here! The combination of Alex Finkin & Reverend P. did thier thing on this release.They can never go wrong with the vocals provided by Jocelyn Mathieu.
The Club Mix is as good as it gets when it comes to the excellent production work by "Aminal House" over the soothing vocals by Jocelyn Mathieu.The "Deep Mix" is where is at if you prefer the deeper side of things.This has to be my pick for the fall right now.

Full support on this release!

"Truth Hurts" - Bernade Badie feat.Dajae
Smooth Agent Records - Promo

Bernad Badie for those in the know has been one of Chicago's best kept secrets from back in the days of Cajual Records.This time he features Chicago's Queen of Housemus,the wonderful Dajae also of Cajual Records.
Sean Smith of Smooth Agent Records teams up with these two extrodinary talents to bring us the 2010 Remixes of "Truth Hurts".A lovley vocal track with excellent mixes by the hot production team of Johnny Montana & Craig Stewart,a get-up-and dance mix aka club mix by Lost my Dog's Pete Defeet of the U.K.

Detroit gets in the mix with thier very own Aaron Carl (R.I.P).He dropped a serious re-masted mix of this already to be an instant nu-skool classic while Tony Kasper kills it with 2 Tech-House Remixes of his own to surely captivate that "sound" we have all become accustomed to hearing.I must say both of these mixes are pure qualtiy and trippy !.Sean Smith's "Latin Club Mix" is also fantastic and we also get a treat by providing yet another qualtiy deep-house mix by Monte Carlo entitled "Method Remix".. Nice !

Full Support on this entire package.

"Ex-Ray" - Park St. feat. Rainy Payne
Universal Media Records - Promo

The hot Universe Records is ready to release yet another pakage with the lovley Rainy Payne on the spoken-word tip.The qualtiy production work by Johnny Montana & Craig Stewart deliver a very nice sensual mix with gorgeous keyboard work over the vocal.A "Dark & Lovely" Mix by the unpredictable Dj Romain is the one to watch as he throws down a deep slammin soul number that will captivate many audiances across the globe and Rainy Payne sounds just so sensual in this piece that it gives me goosebumps as I love spoken-word pieces.The Original Hustle Mix is real right with sexy key-board licks,percussions and flute to compliment Rainy's voice is nice.Shade D delivers a dancemusic mix that I truly enjoy as much as the other mixes.
I can't find a favorite mix but if I had to choose ONE,then it would be Romain's Dark and Lovely Mix.

Heimwehg E.P by Hanes Smith
Prog City Deep Records - Promo


The deepness continues for this label,artist and producers.Hannes Smith bring some serious deep-obscure sounds and music.The reason why Im really digging this E.P is the tracks are so mezmorizing and leaves the listener or dancer in a trance.I enjoy these kinds of obscure productions for concentration,meditation and dancing purposes when Im mellow on the dancefloor.Quality production work on all the pieces of this wonderful E.P.

Tracklist:

1) '19810' - This is a really deep down in the gut cut that I truly enjoyed off this E.P
BTW '19810' (means a sad feeling about leaving your home explodes like a geysir in your heart. Arrived at your final destination, feeling happy and free, listening to 'Dis, quand reviends-tu' you recognize to go and take the next ride to begin another round in circle). Truly inspirational.


2) Snipe - to create a feeling of leaving and exploring a new place. - WOW ..A person can really connect with this producer and his heart.

3) 'Dis, quand reviends-tu' - means you recognize to go and take the next ride to begin another round in circle.

This is a true heart-felt track that I think most of us moving along with life itself can relate to and it's my favorite of the 3 with respect to the other 2 quality numbers offered in this package.

I have been inspired from this release therefore Im going to construct a mix consisting of how my days are in general.The set will contain my morning,noon and night portions of my life and I will try and get in the mood to accomplish this mission on my Cyberjamz Show.Monday from 8am- 2pm est. Hope you can join me for what is sure to be a journey into my personal life but using music as the "many moods" that I go through each and every day.


I also received a good history lessons on a few German words in reference to the word "Heimwehg" which is a mixture of the German word 'heimweh' (aching for home) and 'heimweg' (the way home). These two words represent the sound of Hannes Smith's first own release. Hannes, born in the former German communist area in 1986, lived in Reykjavik for the past two years and wrote this EP about the way back home to Germany.

Here is how Hanes Smith interpret his vision and journey which reflects in his production work in this particular E.P

When you don't have a single home, the no man's land of being in transit can be strangely comforting." 'Heimwehg' is a mixture of the German word 'heimweh' (aching for home) and 'heimweg' (the way home). These two words represent the sound of Hannes Smith's first own release. Hannes, born in the former German communist area in 1986, lived in Reykjavik for the past two years and wrote this EP about the way back home to Germany.

The sound of 'Heimwehg' stands for the mood of in between: everything in between leaving a place and arriving in a new world created by the feeling of an aching heart and the rhythms of travelling. Grooving rhythm patterns of organic sounds combined with dreamy and haunting sounds make this travel back home to your heart an unforgetable journey.

Describing the way with 'heimwehg' everything starts with 'SNPE' to create a feeling of leaving and exploring a new place. Once you are sitting in the airplane or train and listen to '19810' the sad feeling about leaving your home explodes like a geysir in your heart. Arrived at your final destination, feeling happy and free, listening to 'Dis, quand reviends-tu' you recognize to go and take the next ride to begin another round in circle.

Don't you moving - Freddy Paris & Marco Soave

Here we go,here we go ! with another release by one of my favorite labels Nightchild Records.This time around they call upon producers Freddy Paris & Marco Soave to deliver to goods for the dancefloor.We begin with the Orignal Mix which has the elements between dancemusic and tech which is made for dancers.Fabio Valentino offers another vision and brings down the house with his remix while Moko Mix has that dance-tech incorporated within the production.Rissa Garcia offers a hot dub mix and has to be the one to watch ! Very nice release.
