Best Julius Papp CD Yet, by far...

"I bought Julius' first CD on Loveslap which was excellent, and have seen him numerous times in person. He deilivers nothing short of total house bliss every time he steps up to the turntables. He has outdone himself on Gotta Keep Movin, where his programming and mixing skills can be heard throughout. Unlike a lot of the DJ's these days who do their mixes in the computer, you can tell Julius did this live...and nailed it. Very creative, very soulful, and all house."

"I'm a Papp fan, so I was really disappointed in this disc, with its relentless "getty-up, getty-up, getty-up" beat, and its tired disco themes. I realize 70's disco is getting re-hashed as a club music standard, woven into house music, with all the bells-n-whistles, and pleading vocals. Why? House music is not supposed to be clever/cute...
This CD is one that might keep a party going -- after the crowd has been sufficiently "lubricated" -- but there's just nothing here that grabs me. The mixing is flawless, but song choice is annoying. Especially track 7 "Back Together" by Hardsoul feat. Ron Carroll. The singer's voice is hard on the ears. At one point he delivers a high-pitched moan over and over again. And this is a "club favorite"??
This CD is out of my rotation instantly. If you're into this house-goes-disco stuff, Soulfuric In the House is far better..."
Downtempo at the very best!!!!

"I get for sorprise with this cd, i thought that was good, but it's excellent, the mixes are very strong, no down songs, i like it even better than Miguel Migs, to be honest with you. If you are looking for a party cd, that keep you in the mood and you can start a conversation without screaming a lot this is the cd. Thank you for this gem, and for keep the downtempo and house music at his very best."
