"After dancing the night away to DJ Heather at an LA party and hearing her choice selection of tracks, I just had to see if she would be that good on my stereo. After listening to Tangerine I can say she's all that and more. Not only does she know how to select her vinyl, but she knows how to spin it as well.She begins with the deliciously deep Discorobot, which is a perfect way to ease the listener into what is to come. From there she gradually transitions to No Time to Lose, each track becoming more progressive and funky and less deep. The real energy of the CD comes during From the Vaults, which is precisely placed at track number eight. By that time you're ready to jump out of your booty and shake your seat. The energy level only increases from there until the listener is gently brought down by Window Pain.Aside from her selection, DJ Heather is able to take the listener higher and higher with each twist of the knobs. Her timing and levels are so precise, and she deftly displays just how much of a musical intrument the turntables actually are. If you love good, rich, danceable house music, you will no doubt love this CD."
DJ Heather shows what she's got.

"One of the lesser known house labels (but quality) "Afterhours" comes off with another sweet mix, this time from DJ Heather. I've done reviews for other Afterhours mixes, (Comp.One & Garden of Eden) and they seem to have a good idea of what's going on in electronic music. This cd has the tone of aggressive house music, not hard house but aggressive progressive, very much in the same vein as the "Can You Feel It" cd by Charles Feelgood. This has a fast tempo and is very energetic. No chance of you falling asleep through this set. There's plenty of booming beats and enough bass for any deep house nut out there. The mixing is good and the choice of music is excellent. There is hardly any vocals here but the set still comes of nice. Cuts of choice are "Mind Magic", "Groove On", Expansion Module", "All In My Mind", "10", "Shake It For Me", and "Window Pain." This cd has 16 cuts and almost all of them are slamming. Nothing wrong with this one."
You Go Girl!!!!

"This is a MUST HAVE!! By far one of the best House CD's I've ever invested in! DJ Heather manages to give you a some funk, soul and just a little taste of vocals. Mixing is superb and the choices of vynl or amazing!! I'm not a huge fan of house, but DJ Heather has given me a different perspective. I would highly recommend Tangerine to anyone!!"
