Tim Hatfied pres:"The Tranquility E.P"/Asahara Music
If you enjoy jazz-house,then the "Tranquility EP" by Tim Hatfied feat.DeAndre Shaiffer and Kolai is for you."Work it","A Good Feelin",& "Tranquility" all have a distinct jazz flavor within each track,but with a nice house beat to complete this remarkable E.P. The saxophone(One of my favorite instruments) is played lovely in each track.A very sexy feel on
"Work it" & "A Good Feelin".The beautiful sounds incorporated in
"Tranquility" is just that..peaceful and sultry,this is E.P is hot to play either on the dancefloor or play it while on chillout mode with the one you love.A glass of fine wine comes to mind. 7 of 10 on all mixes.
Tim Scott "That's Nice E.P" / Blue City Records
Tim Scott has been in producing some nice jazzy-house tracks as well.Here he brings us "Habari" which starts off with a hot percussion and jazz-influence(Sounds like Manu Dibango) "New Bell"...in mind.Very nice drums added to make this an offical jazz track and the dancers will love it!!! 7 of 10
This track also comes with mixes by Richie Robinson.This version has a more club feel to it but with the same results.Jazzy-House in full effect! Very nice. 7 of 10
Last on this Blue City release is "That's Nicce"(Richie Robinson Mix).This cut is definately made for the dancefloor.Nice synths and electronic sound and minimal spoken-word included this track doesnt fall short.Those percussions (Timbales) rock on this joint.Nice work. 7 of 10

K-Joy feat.Raiyn & "Like This"(Deep House Mix #2)
K-joy been sending me some very nice tracks lately.This one is with no exception.Titled "I am a Woman",this song has not only a wonderful female vocalist but great music to compliment all arrangements.This nice track comes with a vocal single mix,and instrumental to extend this already excellent track 7 of 10
"Like this" is a re-make of the Chicago classic on Dj International by Chip E. Im not disliking this version but it could never top the original.All n all,this track is what it is..a nice and different version(view) with deep organ riffs and the vocalist Raiyn sound better than the original.This nice re-make comes also with a instrumental mix(Which I prefer vs. the vocal mix),even the classic I prefer the instrumental..In any case I like this track..so I give it a 6 of 10
