zesty ......................................... zeer0@phreakocious.net 01 - Community Recordings - Easier Said Than Done - Stupendous.mp3 This is a spacey, dubbed out plodder that makes a good opening or closing track. Reggae styled vocals wash in and out and it never really takes it to the next level. 02 - DJ Banjo from Japan - The Drunks Present - Shhh!.mp3 Self-labelled 'Hip-House Tribute,' I wouldn't put it any other way. Funky rhythms and samples coupled with an old-school style hip-hop vocal keep the head bobbin. 03 - Broadway & Wilson - Cut Up - Gallery.mp3 Tracky deep/tech house DJ tool sort of record with some other decent mixes as well. 04 - Chuck Daniels - Funky Flarnum - Oomph.mp3 Another DJ tool, this time with a relentless funky guitar riff and some well executed breakdowns. Simple but fun and effective. 05 - Aroma All Stars - Episodes in Jazz (Swirl People Rmx) - Aroma.mp3 Awesome piano driven jazzy deep house workout with a monstrous walking bassline that will make your ass shake. Very tasty. 06 - The Girth - Extra Seasoning - White.mp3 Piano oriented house with just the right amount of deep and tech elements and an almost annoying female hip-hop vocal. Party music. 07 - Joey Youngman - Juicy Melon - Nightshift.mp3 Once again walking that line between deep and tech, with good results. Disco samples and organic sounds blend well with the quality drum programming. 08 - Patrick Turner - House Music - White.mp3 Dark and dirty, with a driving minor key bassline and the preacher extolling the glories of house music. Someday people will talk about this record. 09 - Community Recordings - Easier Said Than Done (Ethen, Felli, & Buddy's Stupendo Mix) - Stupendous.mp3 This insane remix of track #1 is a savory bit of acid house. 10 - Instant Noodles - Decibel Magic (Swag Channel Battle Edit) - Battle.mp3 I'll be the first to acknowledge that some Swag stuff is formulaic and similar in character, but keep it coming, please. :) Bubbly, bleepy, tweaked out sounds coming from everywhere on this track, and who can argue with a synthesized robot voice dropping "R-E-M-I-X"?! 11 - Triangle Orchestra - The Strip (Swag Dub) - Outergaze.mp3 More Swag goodness with lots of in your face synthetic sounds that feel as natural as defecation. Intricate drum programming and a delayed sax line keep this one interesting throughout. 12 - Instant Noodles - Decibel Magic - Battle.mp3 The original version of track #10, both just had to be included. Tweaked out acid house all the way, with some awesome build ups and breakdowns that will keep everyone awake. 13 - Q-Tee Fingers - I'm Ready (Dub Mix) - Yellow.mp3 Twisted, mangled French house with an effected female vocal that just goes way too far. 14 - Stacey Kidd - Rock n Roll - After School.mp3 A Chicago take on the latin house sound, with a couple of bouncy guitar riffs as the main ingredients. Please note: I messed with this in Sound Forge to de-emphasize the unfortunately clattering highs. Sue me. ;) 15 - Stacey Kidd vs Grasshoppers Masters - Get Shorty - Bumpin City.mp3 A rather tongue-in-cheek "remix" with samples from classic TV shows. Kinda hard to take anything seriously listening to this. :) 16 - Manwhore - Girl About Town - Doubledown.mp3 Massive bubbly bassline, big bounce, and sweet keys will keep this deep grooving monster in my box for awile. 17 - Joey Youngman - Work It Out - Fetish.mp3 Ya, more Joey Youngman. :) Growling bassline and more excellent keyboard wizardry on this. This guy is on fire lately!
