Adam Beyer - Circuits - 12-Aug-09 09:51 PM
Adam Beyer has put out some great records and is quite skilled behind the decks, but this release lacks even the most basic form of creativity and inspiration. They both sound to me like Adam Beyer offered his sound pallete to someone learning the ropes of ableton and this was the outcome. Some will buy this I guess if they have not heard the original AWC or are just a Beyer fan, but I will be steering clear of this.

Bobby Caldwell - Cat In The Hat - 28-May-09 07:10 PM
The song Open Your Eyes was sampled with permission on one of modern hip hops greatest achievements, The Light by Common. Really the backbone of the hip hop remix is Bobby Caldwells distinctive, soulful voice, and in its own right, the original really is very nice. Thank you to Jay Dee for sampling this one and bringing it to light for the younger generations. May he rest in peace. I will be on the lookout for this LP to hear some of Bobbys other tracks.

Butane - The Sound Of Digi Down - 06-Nov-06 09:32 AM
This is the release that started it all off for alphahouse. By looking at the catalog numbers, this release seems to have set the stage for a promising label coming from the mighty Founsound family.

This has proven to be a very promising label and continues to put out interesting sounding Minimal Tech House during a time when the market is very saturated with this sound. This will go down as one of the labels best - and who would deny that Butane, Troy Pierce, and Someone Else would put out nothing but top notch music. This was one of the releases that shined the spotlight on Butane and Troy Pierce and each has followed this with an array of sounds on a variety of labels.

Various - Tremenditud - 09-Oct-06 06:28 AM
Excellent sounds coming from the online label Flumo. This release is packed with a lot of upcoming artists and most of these tracks are minimal tech house gems. Not to mention this releaese is "complementary" upon visit to their website.

Tracks to check out...
Denis Karimani - Ode
Lektrono - Recuerdos
Paper - Circles
V.Rotz - Mad
among others...

Castelli & Perazzoli / Ariel Perazzoli - Paradise E.P. - 15-Aug-06 07:46 AM
An excellent 2 tracker from the consistent Alternative Route Recordings label. The beats are chunky and funky and work well in either a progressive or house set rather well. The B side spices things up a bit with a jazzy sax rolling over tribal percussions with a thick bassline.

I originally purchased the A side white label on South American House almost a year ago and have been playing it ever since. Great tune and glad to see its being released in more volume.
