Various - Pink 1

Although he may not be familiar outside of the Las Vegas club scene, DJ Carlos Sanchez sets his mark and sends one moving and grooving with this, his first DJ mixed compilation. It is a very sweet and smooth foray into deep house sounds. His selection of tracks is quite diverse but he maintains a very consistent vibe throughout the set. Starting it off with Gregory Del Piero and featuring the sultry vocals of Billy Love on "Rewind", a very warm and moody ballad, Sanchez lets you know he's not about compromise and he doesn't disappoint. From that point on, you know House is back. There are so many good pieces on this release its difficult to pinpoint which one stands out more than the next, and that makes this compilation quite unique. He provides you with the familiar and at the same time introduces you to his own interpretive spin. "Live It Up", the second title, departs from the first and lets you know what's to come. All the tracks following take you on a journey not to be dismissed or ignored, providing you with great vocals and electronic instrumentation which is the hallmark of great house music. This release is quite possibly the best deep house set for 2007 and puts DJ Carlos Sanchez among the ranks of more seasoned and established DJ's of this genre.
