'Do you Wanna Jack' is an overlooked Adonis classic, mellower tan 'No Way Back' but also more hypnotic, there is a slight Moroder feel to this overall wonderful deep acid number.

Possibly overlooked Gentry Ice's offering here, which is a mistake on my behalf, also produced by the multi-talented Adonis. Quality early deep house music here with electro influences. The 303 is used mainly as a bassline which doesn't evolve greatly as many other acid basslines did around that period, keeping it simple and funky. This production focuses more on deep, hypnotic, synth melodies, hi-hats, complex hand claps, and chanting melodies. The "Dub mix" being less vocal and shorter in duration. Really overlooked in my opinion and worth tracking down...also available on the "Jack Trax-Vol 4 compilation", although it only features the "Club Mix".

Adonis was a true innovator of the early house scene and produced so many countless & unique classics.
Lost In The Sound is one example of his talents, and for me the shining star on this 12" single and possibly one of his best to date. Perfectly arranged, deep, instrumental house, with a funky, groovy, latino flavour with melancholy but also ethereal in feeling. Magic...
