"As a former Wicked, Come-Unity and SF Area party scene goer, Jenö is probably my favorite of all the Bay Area DJs. The way he progams his sets, the way he perfectly blends them together makes me just smile and realize how good he is. The least (most) common denominator of all his music is the soul...you can definitely sense it. This CD is no exception...the mixing is perfect, the programming just right. The only problem i have with this is the media itself...A single CD causes him, in my opinion, to cut short some of the songs due to the limited space.No matter what, this is a quality DJ and i wish everyone gets a chance to hear his work. Also, if you get a chance to get his tapes such as We Are Phuture, Inside the Mind, and my favorite, Bang The Drum...get it! Music that i can listen to forever."

"Totally PHAT! From one SF dj to another i must say that Jeno is off the hook with this one. Many of his selections are personal fav's of mine, as you can tell on my mixx tapes. Definetly worth the money. He will rise to the top. Smooth mixxes, great selection make this a must for anyone interested in the house sounds of SF!"
Happy to be represented by Jeno

"If ever anyone asked for the San Francisco sound, I wouldn't hesitate to point them to this album, probably tracks 10-13. Funky tribal house mixing into a deep melodic groove - in my opinion, this is the essence of San Francisco house. Like some of the previous reviewers, I too, have followed Jeno for quite a bit... so this may be a bit biased review. But Jeno moves me like no other - his deep funky style, exemplary of this album, is what creates fame for SF house. For those of us in the SF Bay Area, we can see him in the numerous clubs he resides in, for the rest... well, you can get a taste by buying this CD. Yet, it'll NEVER compare to the vibes created by this man, two turntables, and a club full of party people in San Francisco."

"I've followed Jeno over the last 10 years while he's been in Califoria and am happy with his latest collection mix. It's smooth, clear, and carries the classic Jeno sound that he's consitently portrayed (that deep, psychodelic, Frisco, sound). It amazes me that Jeno constantly claims House for his roots while other DJs fled to that dead, one dimensional techno scene.House has evolved from it's ... roots into an International sound and Jeno is mature enough to blend this with all the flavors--House, Trance, Acid, Tribal. Rock-on (or should I say, HOUSE ON) Jeno! Even though "Here and Now is All We've Got" isn't necessarily true, this message is poignant for those trapped in the hyper-physical.Thanks and cheers."
