CD Reviews

CD One serves up superb deep house

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Finally, a new Roger Sanchez mix gets released Stateside! Not that I would hesitate to shell out [the money] for an import, but I have to make sure all my friends have their own copies, or they'll steal mine. Because they're that good. This latest double disc is no exception, though it's the soft sultry smoothness of CD One that's on repeat rotation in my head. No doubt its due to the no less than two Kaskade tracks (another album that I just can't play enough) along with Roger's superb programming of the mix. Familar faces like Dubtribe Sound System, Solu Music and Sandy Rivera play out perfetly while the others expanded my more mellow horizons. CD Two took several listens to warm up to - maybe it was the cold brassiness of the horns and sax after all of CD One's warmth, or the sort of cover of Tenaglia's "Music Is The Answer" which is renamed "Dancin'" - Roger more of you (a sexier voice does not exist) but please, not as Celeda! And my request is fulfilled later on, though you'll have to listen closely as its not the first time he's using one of his infamous pseudonoms. There are some deep, soul-moving tracks that would cause a frenzy on any dancefloor, like "Dancin' In The Dark" and "What's Come Over Me," and of course the unforgettable "Music Revolution", but the momentum gets lost in between with the disco-driven "Free My Soul" and the uninspiring "Freaks Like Us." With a standard as high as Roger has set for himself, its hard to raise the bar yet again, but CD One is a five star mix that on its own would be worth the price of purchase."
