One of the main reasons I love ambient and chill-out music is because of the seemingly consistent relation to movie soundtracks. There is something about the sounds and compositions in this genre of electronica that make me think of movies and storylines and drama.

Well, once again, slick packaging and a fabulous girl made me buy a CD. Ok, I also wanted Filterfunk's remix of "Message in a Bottle" (The Police) in my collection. I was a huge Police fan and this is a very good remix, so here we go….

Ok. I really, really tried to like this mix, really. It shows quite a bit of musical dexterity as it jumps from disco house one moment to hip-hop and then to funk and electro-groove.

Eleven seconds into this recording, I knew I had found something special. It is there that the sepia-toned breakbeat takes your hand and leads you into the wood between the worlds that is Colourful Year. With sounds and songwriting that can only be described properly with visual references, The Weather Inside engages nearly all senses in a pop-influenced jaunt through electronic downtempo music.

I like the stuff Om Records puts out, and DJ mixes are a staple for me as I love to hear new tracks and a continuous groove. It makes driving so pleasant for me, you know?

BT has struck gold once again. Taking a different route for this record, BT has temporarily shelved his energetic breaks and distinctive EDM persona. The mood of this album is that of ambience, reflection, and ease, while maintaining the ever-present technical intuition that goes hand-in-hand with any BT production.

This is an interesting and techy track with good programming and arrangement. There is no vocal or samples to add to the quality of the song, so it must stand on its own merits as an instrumental track.

The original "Remember Jack" mix is a modern acid house track with an oldskool vocal talking about the infamous "Jack" (i.e., dancing to house music). The release features three remixes using the same vocal but each with a different house sound.

From New York City's hair-stylist turned singer, D'Andre, comes the new house single, "Whatever". This slick-sounding single is produced by Wolfram Dettki, (who produced pop/dance singer Amber) with soulful R&B textured vocals from D'Andre. This single includes the original track and 6 remixes: 3 extended mixes and 3 radio mixes.

In the "Original Vocal Mix", Tom Sawyer delivers a clubby track with clear female vocals.... The "Dub Remix" has more energy and is more aimed at the dance floor.... My favorite track is Gtek's remix. It adds a lot of warmth to the original.
