<>A solid sampling of dance tracks from many different genres tied together by (almost) seemless crossfades and a clear, thoughtful track order. The true charm of this collection lies in it selection of what I like to call hybrid tracks - those that don't necessarily fit into the mold of any given house sub-genre and instead borrow from a number of them to create a fresh sound. With the exception of number 12, each song is gold in its own right; that said, check out the recommended tracks for some outstanding A-file quality material. <>Track Listing (* Recommended): 1. Progressive/Trance hybrid driven by beats and effects; spiced with a few incoherent vocals. [5:11] 2. *Oldie but goodie - soothing vocals that make it great for chilling back and enjoying the beats. [6:09] 3. Another song that’s good for its ambience-setting potential, comes complete with deep vocals. [3:33]<><> 4. *Take a little bit of deep house add a little reggae and you’ve got yourself a lot of good stuff. [4:26] 5. Short, sweet and, in true Fat Boy Slim style, house with a little bit of funk. [2:30] 6. *A funk-filled break beats cake frosted with some trance flavors. [3:06] 7. A break beat track so homogenous that it seems almost perfunctory. [5:15] 8. Break beats with some Caribbean influences. [6:12] 9. Deep bass is the phrase on this one. [4:58] 10. Would be a better track if the lyrics and the beats worked better together. [4:46] 11. *Just the right mix of hard house beats and solid female vocals. [5:29] 12. Uninspired. Enough said. [4:22] 13. An energetic track with sample that pay homage to Daft Punk. [5:55] 14. Booty bass and break beats with some soulful female vocals. [5:58] 15. Marching beats that yield for some synth breakdowns.
