handgespielter disco-sound a la prince, curtis mayfield oder the temptations. jan delay rollt sich wieder durch die funky musikgeschichte. ein grosses album, dass seinen nummer 1 chart vorgänger mercedes dance in sachen aufmerksamkeit noch toppen dürfte.

timbuktu sees long-time associates ferrer and sydenham going out with some techy house flavors on ibadan, with a solid groove joined by a sublime synth stab and some great chant snippets, while a driving bassline and great percussion elements fatten out the track nicely. timeless tracks 4 sure !! special backstock !!!

everyone knows this feeling, when a hook line of a track wont let you go. one says it is a tune wedgie, even if it sounds a bit weird in the clubbing scene. but never you mind, you just start singing out of the blue. olene kadar just hit the bulls eye with >yipyippyip<. this track impresses with an extraordinary addicting ragga vocal and puts on top his breathtaking freaky beat wrapping. one wonders where to put this into a greater content: musical seriousness or simply the fun factor. but in the end people always go crazy, when olene kadar rocks one of the countless parties in holland. the artist playing right after him faces a difficult time. that is what dave aju might have had in mind. his remix heads for another direction. very relaxed and reduced to the bare essentials he slows down the tempo to garnish this fantastic groove with the vocals and e-piano chords. so cool. on the flip you will find the dashing rave monster >neal deepersma<, that brings olene kadars former releases on mos ferry back to mind. on the label website you will get a free bonus download called >looking for an<.
