Iribe Kossa - You Got Me - 17-Oct-08 08:08 AM
Something I've always wandered is why this track didn't became a huge clubhit?
Create the same funky groove and vibe as Secchi's 'I say yeah', get rid of Orlando Johnson's vocals, add a great piano and a few uplifting sampled vox from Sima and those vocals which also have been used by Korda - Move Your Body, and there you have your clubhit: You Got Me!
An 5-star track which has been kept secret from me until a few years ago. After hearing it for the first time it went straight into the top 20 of 'all time favourite Italians'.
Hard to find but definitely worth hunting for!
Klubfilter - Illumination - 17-Oct-08 06:29 AM
This is a track I hardly ever heard before, especially the A-side. Klubfilter managed to make an outstanding mix between house, funky grooves and heavy synthsounds/patterns giving it a hypnotic feel without losing its balls. This is one of those tracks where people come up to you right away to ask which record it is, when you play it.
Even in 2008 this track will still blend perfectly in your DJ set and doesn't sound outdated at all.
The B-side is a very smooth and more balearic house track but with the same hypnotic feel as the A-Side. This track will perfectly fit in any deephouse set.
It's a shame that Gil Chabbert decided to stop producing in 2004 as I think he had the potential to become a huge producer.
Megafloor - Fixation - 24-Apr-07 03:17 AM
Basically Fixation is based on the baseline of Touch me by the 49ers. An awesome and typical X-Energy type Pianoriff was added on top and is finished with a male voice saying 'I need a fix, fixation' and the wellknown female sample 'I'm hot for you'.
The brilliance of this track lies in the basic production and the change in chords thoughout the track, like Max 'n' Frank Minoia did a lot during these days.
Fixation seems to be hard to find but is definitely worth hunting. It's in my top 5 of all time Italian house favourites!
Don Carlos - Aqua (Promo) - 16-Apr-07 06:51 AM
This is definitely Don Carlos' masterpiece. Every track is a beauty on its own and all tracks perfectly blend together on the album.
It's a shame that they edited nearly all of the tracks to fit the records. Although the CD version of Aqua misses a few mixes it has 6 extra tracks and contain the full versions.
Lisa Lux - All Through The Night E.P. - 29-Jan-07 09:55 AM
If you wouldn't know the dutch producers you would probably have thought this was 100% italian.
Especially Ben Liebrand's remix of Let's Have A Party has the italohouse-vibe everybody loved back then.
As far as I know this record has never been released in The Netherlands itself.
