Christian dance veteran producer/DJ 404 brings us a new 12 track remix CD for "Deep Inside". Sporting remixes from some of the scene's greatest, this CD is packed full of gems.

I really, really like this release. I knew it would be “hard dance” but I am not very familiar with the genre. It is trancey with Techno elements, deep morphed vocal samples and somewhat Electro-Industrial sounding synth patterns. Pounding beats and distorted bass make everything come alive in these tracks. I love the vocals as well, especially the breakdown in “Proximity” that sounds so beautiful.

Whether you're into mainstream/commercial house, or you dig the underground cuts check out JJ Flores & Steve Smooth's "The Collection". This 16 track full-length features some of their career's highlights, as well as some of the mistakes.

Once again I found a Gospel track in the House genre that really makes me smile. It’s a very spiritually affirming and praiseworthy track with some good remixes.

Can’t Fix It, despite a few painfully obvious shortcomings, is a great album. Actually, it’s more than that. It’s awesome, because it’s not just an album. It’s a panoramic view in to the musical mind of a blossoming producer that offers an incredible value, in terms of quality and quantity, to both the digital dj and the casual listener.

Whatta wonderful world! I found this gem at Tower Records hoping for a one-in-a-million shot that it would be good. Yowza! Paydirt! This is a song with soul. It’s a great trip-hop sounding number that reminds me of Moby (a little).  It has very good gospel-infused lyrics and melodic piano riff that stays with you to the end. It’s all about finding God’s love in a traumatic life where you just feel like throwing it all away. I can certainly identify with that as a believer and I think you can too.

Antoine Clamaran brings us the latest release from house label Sondos. The two track 12" features the tribal sounds of "Noise" and "I Feel Love". With worthy credits under his belt such as his remix of JJ Flores & Steve Smooth's "The Ride", this release is a stunning disappointment.

This is great vocal House track with some good remixes. One of the remixers is “the other” Ultrabeat of “Pretty Green Eyes” fame and not the Swedish Praise master. However I did ultimately pick up this single to hear just how good they were and I am surprised.

I picked up this album because the group has devoted following and I wanted to see what the buzz is about. I like Trance and I wasn’t familiar with Goa so I gave it a spin (literally).
I listened to the title track on the Listening Station at Tower Records and immediately loved the bass line and vocal samples.

Out come the Data label's new remixes of the Les Rythmes Digitales 1997 classic "Jacques Your Body". Jacques Lu Cont himself (the man behind Les Rythmes Digitales) opens the release with his own solid remake. Other producers on remix duty include Riffs and Rays, Switch, and Full Intention.
