Nona Hendryx - Female Trouble - 31-May-07 03:18 PM
Excellent lp in my opinion. Dan Hartman did an outstanding job as a producer; he gave the album a fresh and (synthesized)funk feeling. Besides this, the songs are catchy and a lot of well-known artists and musicians made their contributions. The Prince written Baby Go-Go is also well worth checking out.
Sylvester - I Need You (Tom Moulton Mix) - 03-Dec-05 11:32 AM
Tom Moulton did an extraordinairy job on this classic from Sylvester from the late 70s/begin 80s. This sounds so different when comparing with the original mix. More bass, cripsy clear shakers, hard percussion. Its hardly a disco track anymore. Yes, it has a 4/4 backbeat but its purely a cohesion between funk & gospel (notice the background choir). And that bass ! You cant sit on your chair when hearing this mix. 10 outta 5, no doubt about it. Grab it while u can.
Paul Woolford - Vertigo / Take The Pain - 16-Sep-05 03:39 PM
One of the best Junior Boys Own-records for quite a while; mad beats, some original fx and funky synth-stabs. Both sides are very playable and will be in my recordbox for a long time. With this release Paul Woolford shows us why hes the man at the moment. And besides that: this is a very welcome return of one of the finest House-labels from the U.K.
Skillz - Skillz - 05-Aug-04 12:35 AM
This is really a great album. Although I think its more a collection of outtakes, its full with raw beats, infectious grooves and freestyle raps. The Neptunes produced this gem with the same attitude as with Eclipses "Grindin", so its streetfunk all over.
VA Banga is a Skillz rap over the backbeat of Rosco P. Coldchains "Hot". Grindin freestyle is just what the title says: its a superb freestyle rap over the backbeat of "Grindin". And Ladies & Gentlemen uses Justin Timberlakes "Senorita" in full effect.
The versions are short (I guess about 3 minutes each), but its really worth to score this lp. I was lucky to pick it up in a Hip Hop recordstore, havent seen it yet since ... Buy !
Kenny Larkin - Ancient Beats / Seduce Her - 04-Jun-04 01:38 PM
Ancient Beats samples Spys from Ronni Griffith. Larkin cuts up pieces of the original and uses filters and delays to create a percussive monster which works very effectively on the dancefloor.
