Various - Best DJ In Town - 31-Aug-08 02:32 PM
This compilation is an essential guide to the legendary sound of the early 1990s Canadian house. All tracks are full 12-inchers, best-of-the-best selection from Hi-Bias Records and its sublabel Toronto Underground, from the label's golden days. Great sound encoding, selection of vocal, deep, progressive and garage house. The tracks were handpicked by Nick Fiorucci himself (one of the owners of Hi-Bias). "S. O. S. Foundation - Dream", which is one of my all-time house favourites, is exclusive to this compilation. From the deepness of "Danube", to the pleasant vocals of "Watcha Gonna Do" to the sexiness of "Was That Good Enough", this comp has it all!!!
Nathalie Page - This Is The Time - 05-Jul-08 05:56 PM
This track is one of my all-time favourites. Beautiful, catchy vocals accompanied by an addicting euro melody. Released during the golden Canadian eurodance era, which has been immortalized since. It inspired an entire generation, drawing people like me into the electronic music scene.
This track received plenty of airtime on the legendary but now defunct dance radio station called Energy 108, which broadcasted in the Toronto-Hamilton area. Ironically the radio station folded right at the time of the last great eurodance wave. This was the last song they played before folding in the spring of 1998.
Mr. Master - A Dog In The Night - 07-Mar-08 05:58 PM
This record comes from the peak era of italo-disco. This release is pure quality, genius, so simple yet so brilliant. From the guys who brought the amazingly beautiful "Stop / Livin' Up" release under BWH. This record is equally amazing, with a spectacular drumbeat and very nicely layered synth, parallel to "Stop" in brilliance and sequence, but a bit simpler and slightly shorter. Its a shame that this track is only 4:30 long and that the duo released only a handful of italo-disco gems altogether under the aliases of BWH, Blackway and Mr Master.

The most overrated and overpriced label that I've ever come across!
I came up with that conclusion after finally gathering the final album, Nihilist's Hermit which was actually the best of the bunch. I have bought pretty much every single CD-format album on this sub-label to try to understand exactly what the big fuss was all about. Overall I think the label is mainly made up of subtle, boring ambient and trancy sounds, with little depth or energy. Occassionally there are some good tracks here and there, but there wasn't a single CD other than Hermit that was worth its money.
For example, for Solar Eclipse albums, there would be 2-3 great tracks on an album, then the rest are just miserable, and so the pattern. Kills the mood. The label is OK, but not worth 30 euros per CD! Hold on to your cash and spend it elsewhere ...

I am very fond of this defunct label. Very rare to find an entire label with every release the size of this one to be spectacular, specializing in top quality oldskool electronic music.
I own most of these titles on one format or another and I must say that there wasnt one single release that I didnt like at least one track from. A beautiful selection of very early dutch techno, hardcore, ambient and trance grooves to rival other great rising labels of the time such as MFS.
My favourite music from this label definitely has to be the astonishingly beautiful selection of early trance and ambient music from the likes of Paradise 3001, Nyx and Cosmic Baby.
