Wildblood's wonders July 09
Gscene Albums July 2009
“Sun is shining, weather is sweet, makes you wanna move your dancing feet”. Don’t you just love this time of year? Sand (or should that be pebbles) between your toes, barbie’s in the sunshine, mates in bikini’s. Love it. Of course every summer need a soundtrack and this month there are some right sweet moments around.
First up with we have ‘Subliminal Sessions Summer 09’ on Subliminal. Delivered by the ever-sexy Erick Morillo this double disc runs rings round the competition. It’s peak time and then some as Subliminal put the sexy back. Dave Seaman returns to the fold this month with the cry “Acid House is dead, long live Acid house” and his latest compilation ‘This Is Audio Therapy 2’ on Audio Therapy. Lovingly compiled this takes the finest Audio Therapy have ever offered and update it with class thanks to the likes of Funkagenda, Guy J and Gus Gus. Nice. Also rather, erm, nice, is ‘Fabric 47 Jay Haze’ and his take on all things techno and house. I’m loving the fact that DJs and producers like Jay Haze are redefining the ever-wonderful genre that is techno and this mix experiments with the genre but not with the end product. Self assured stuff worth your undivided attention.
Other releases worth a look this July include the delicious ‘House Master Julien Jabre & DJ Gregory ‘on Defected. French brilliance you don’t have to cross channels for. Also check out the achingly cool new album ‘Command’ from everyone’s kooky fabulous electronica girl band Client on Out Of Line and a Pedro Almodovar inspired debut album from Risqué, ‘Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down’ on Some Bizarre that insists on your attention with it’s electro pop naughtiness. Others demanding ear time this month include the electro tinged beauty that is ‘Robbie Riveria Presents Juicy Ibiza 2009 on Black Hole Recordings. Deadmau5 makes it so. Plus the ubiquitous summer time release that signals the start of hot rays and hotter nights ‘Summer Sessions II Compiled By Andy Daniell’ on Bargrooves. Add Physic’s ‘Live Sessions’ on Deeplay Records (how good is this one!) and we can safely say summer is here.
And so to this month’s must, must have’s. Like Paul Weller and his ever-changing moods – don’t you just love BBC4 and their late night music-documentaries? – I keep swinging from disco to underground to smooth grooves and jackin house. But then doesn’t everyone. Keeping my disco fix just right – until their next longplayer drops anyway - is Hercules And Love Affair and their new compilation for Renaissance. ‘Sidetracked’ will distract, delight and disco-fy your days. As for your nights nothing will spin you out quite like ‘Pete Tong presents Wonderland 2009’ on Ministry Of Sound. Wow! is all this Wildblood can say. A house and techno selection that proves, as always, that Tong is on the button. Finally my button has been firmly tickled sweet by New Mondo and their ‘Total Control’ on Transport Recordings. I couldn’t help but be impressed as each of the 11 tracks hit me head (and soul) on. From jacking house gems to the smoothest of soulful grooves this felt like a compilation of houses greatest moments not a single artist production. Impressive and a must get. Enjoy.
1. Richard Earnshaw & Angie Brown ‘Unbelievable’ (Earnshaw's Club Mix) Duffnote
One to make the true house heads weep. It’s back, it’s bigger and it’s unbelievable!
2. Robinson Wall Project ‘Deep Down’ (Deep Sensation Vox) Sole
Classy soulful house that will get you deep, deep, deep down inside.
3. Lee Cabrera V Thomas Gold ‘Shake It’ (Move A Little Closer) (Terrace Instrumental) Cr2 Records
I can already see the Big Top rocking to this one!! As some one once said – “more breakdowns than Arthur Fowler!”
4. Milton Jackson ‘1998’ (Hiro Remix) TronicSole
Proving minimal has a soul. Soaring, sensational and a genre bending gorgeous.
5.Lauer & Canard Ft The Lovely Laura ‘Deep Inside’ Seamless Recordings
Spend time with Laura and you’ll become addicted. Lovely indeed.
6. Roland Clark ‘Glad You Came’ (Original Mix) Ill Friction (US)
Blimey. Verse, chorus, verse. Whatever next. Proper, pert and most purchasable.
7. Michel Cleis Featuring Toto La Momposina ‘La Mezcla’ Strictly Rhythm
A summer scorcher that’ll increase the heat on any dancefloor – all rhythmic like.
8. Matthias Heilbronn Ft Inaya Day ‘Heaven’ (Original Mix) Seamless Recordings
Funky house with underground tendencies that’ll get you off – to heaven.
9. Junior Rex Feat Rhalmia ‘Music Is High’ (Ron Carroll mixes) SoulHeat
Latin tendencies with a “shake that booty now” manifesto. How can we resist?
10. Jonathan Ulysses ‘We Shall Prevail’ (Kid Massive Audio Damage Mix Mastered) Born To Dance
Jack had a groove, Jonathon has filthy intentions. The clues in the last name of the remixer.
