Dj Quad feat.Trizonna McClendon
Trizonna out of Chicago teams up with Dj Quad and come up with 2 hot releases,one being my favorite "Sunshine & Lemonde".This catchy track layed over Trizonna's lovely vocals creat a nice mellow vibe that anyone can enjoy.This track has a touch of R&B flavor but with added arrangements that create a dancing environment for everyone to enjoy.The dancefloor response is marvelous.Watching people sing-a-long to this time-less track is what our music should represent. 7-10

The second track entitled "Trizonna" is more on the Brazillian tip and still as effective but not as hot as the first track mentioned above.In any case,this track still delivers those smooth vocals and hot Brazillian music that is right on time for this years WMC (Winter Music Conferance).Im looking forward to more of Dj Quad and Trizonna McClendon in the near future.

West End Records own Adam Cruz comes thru with this wonderful 6 track E.P Mixtape Sessions with Flora's debut releases "Overcome",“No Regrets”,"Let the Sunshine Out" & "Beat that Drum".

This is such a fun E.P.Filled with a nice messages talored for the ladies and all of us that need to "Overcome" our issues.Make no mistake,the music is very nice to dance to and compliment the vocals."No Regrets" has to be my favorite,complete with vocals,jazz and nice and swing-beat,this is great to play for a hot sexy night-cap crowd. "Let the Sunshine Out" concentrates more on the dancefloor with a deep sultry vibe and accomodate the vocals by Flora.If you like Filsonik & Soni on MAW,then you will enjoy this E.P
7 of 10 on Overcome & No Regreats
6 of 10 on Beat that Drum.

"Confusion"(Miss Yvonne)/Consortium Muzik now avail @ www.traxsource.com

Consortium Muzik continues thier quest to find artist and producers that represent that percentage of underated performers.In this case they nailed it with the fabulous vocals by Miss Yvonne.

Complete with 3 different mixes by hot producers Alan Smithee,Andy Tamashi and Abiach Soul(Staxx).This track does not dissapoint on any level.The Alam Smithee Mix is very nice,really concentrating on vocals and arrangements that do not over take the lovley vocals of Miss Yvonne. 7 of 10

Andy Tamashi's mix is a bit more on the darker side of things but still hot it's own right.Fantastic mix to throw down when it's that time of night to dim down the lights and let the dancers close thier eyes and listen to the vocals. 7 of 10 (Favorie Mix)

Abicah Soul Mix has a more stripped down bare sound with a nice organ,deep keys,and violins make a nice combo for this vocal. 6 of 10

Smooth Agent Records.

Sean Smith "Tracks from the Vault Vol#1)/Smooth Agent Records
Smooth Agent Records comes out with this hot 5 track E.P straight from the valut of deepness.This is one smoking E.P to own.

1)"Every step of the Way feat.Karu" is one heck of a track.Deep chords,organs and lovely piano-riffs fill the room with fresh musical air.Play this track and watch your dancefloor marvel at the effects and sounds.Wonderful job. 7 of 10

2)"Sitting There" A very deep thriving track,filled with deep organs,a vocalist with minimal whispers and catchy hot beats make this one for the dancefloor. 7 of 10

3)"Head Beats" This has to be my favorite track of the entire E.P,not to take away from the other fabulous tracks.This one has a smokin tribal house beat with a spoken-word by Dr.King.Gotta have this track people. 7 of 10

4)"Head Beats"(no vox)--is the same as above w/out the vox.Hot! 7 of 10

5)"Test of Time" Put your hands in the air for yet another jackin track.This time complete with mezmorizing bass-line,organ riffs and spoken-word,this is another favorite of mine out of this fantastic E.P.Smooth Agent Records is back! 7 of 10

T-Solomon taken from "Ah Star is Being Born" L.P

"Ride the Bass"(Vocal Mix) is a very spiritual re-mix from this great artist and producer T-Solomon.Those that are familier with his past work know this talented individual has something special to offer for your soul.This track is no exception.I dislike comparing artist but T-Solomon reminds me of the great Roy Ayers.This track has a nice Cha-Cha fast beat but without loosing the deepness and spritiual message embedded within the music.Lovely piano and latin vibe is just fantastic. 8 of 10

Jaffa Records

"Do you even Know"(Rachel Claudio & Nicolas Vautier)/The Jaffa Rmxs including rmxs by Raw Artistic Soul & Soul Harmonics.

Jaffa Music's 4th release and does not dissapoint with this re-visited track.It's been about A year after the original release of "Do You Even Know" on Place Blanche records,so to re release this gem with rmxs by Jaffa Music,Raw Artistic Soul & Soul Harmonics,give this lovely track a hot welcome back treatment.

The Soul Harmonics Mix is a nice clubby disco sounding complete with vocals. 6 of 10

Raw Artistic Soul Mix--This is much more darker and sultry.The vocals really stand out on this minimal sounding hot mix.Rachel Claudio really sounds lovley on this particular mix by Raw Artistic Soul.Favorite Mix 7 of 10

This track also comes with an nice Jaffa Music vocal mix and Raw Artistic Dub Mix..Nice re-work..

Avi Elman of Upz steps out the box and into the world of "Con Funk E.P" on soWhat Records.

This fantastic disco inspired is E.P is right up there with the hot releases already posted."Motor Booty" & "Slap n Ride" are 2 of the most disco-sounding tracks I've heard in quite sometime of course with a few exceptions(Other tracks and labels).
"Motor Booty" is more on the modern side of music but still delivers that "punch" needed to make that dancefloor fire up! That guiter riff is off the hook. 7 of 10
"Slap n Ride" This is more on that disco inspiriation we all long for from time to time.Very jazzy disco indeed. 7 of 10

Gonfish Gonfish a.k.a. Jesus Gonsev and Javi Lopez present: "The Deep N Groove EP"/Sofitone Records

Here we have what I call that true DEEP side of housemusic.Dark but beutiful at the same time.Armed with 4 mixes to choose from,Im sure there is a track for those late-night hours.The combo-producer action works for this team.Jesus Gonsev(More on the deep side of things) while Javi Lopez(keeps it more on the dancefloor flavor),both combined you can't go wrong.It's all about tracks selection!! Bravo! for Sofitone Records.

1)"Everything is Illuminated"-- Keep it dark and keep it deep.Exceptional music display of how it's done,nuff said! Fav Mix 7 of 10

2)Soul Beat(Jesus Gonsev Deepsoul Rmx)---My goodness what a hot opening to a track with a silent,quiet,deep electronic note.All of sudden a deepness overflows the rhythm with a soft spoken-word sayin "Feel it"...Favorite Mix 8 of 10

3)Soul Beat(Javi Lopez)--This version brings a more percussion-pumpin beat with more spoken-word pieces and can be played at any time during you set.Still deep but more for the dancefloor.I get chills from the enitre E.P. 7 of 10

4)Shake it(Javi Lopez)--Another hot dancefloor joint to make you stomp your feet without taking away the deepness..this is hot! 7 of 10

Dj Koeul Benny/San Fransisco
Info: MySpace http://www.myspace.com/koeulbenny

Here comes that underated producer segment again,let's begin with Dj Koeul Benny out of San Fransisco,brings us these 2 Chicago sounding heaters named "The Underground" & "Im Good"/2nd Mix.From time to time I seem to get blessed with these tracks made by unknown or underated producers.
It's nice to see other musicians outside the norm.This kat got it down pack with 2 hot Chicago Jack tracks that will shake your dancefloor."The Undergound" has a nice synth layed over a jackin beat that is effective."Im Good" is even more powerful in it's delivery of heavy synths,bass-line and infectious beat.I will give this man his props. 7 of 10 on both tracks!

Vitualsound

Here is another nice joint.Vitualsound brings us a re-mix of the time-less classic "True Housemusic"(Marcel).This time this is more on the peak-time progressive/Dance Music tip.No mistaken that voice of Marcel.So put yo hands in the air!! 6 of 10.
