AZULI PRESENTS MIAMI 2006 (AZULI) |
| |
The two-discer "Miami 2006" kicks off with da heat on
the luscious retro-disco house attack of "Feels Like
Love" from the Teamsters. The album immediately
displays its eclecticism by moving into the techy
tunage of Deepgroove's "Fascinated." From there it's
the smooth house moves of Cloud 9 on "How Shall I Rock
Thee" and Kai vs. Kered on "Believe" with a little
pop/club laced dance fun. From there it's on to Kerri
Chandler's "So Let the Wind Come" and its nighttime
groovelove. Till West and DJ Delicious present curious
and engaging textures on "Same Man" before the disc
carries through to the infectious dark pulse of Emilia
Majello's "Back To Me." Haji and Emanuel come next
with "Take Me Away" and its layers of buzzing
textures. Following that is "Insatiable" by Mark
Knight feat. Katherine Ellis, a track that adds a
little sultry quality to the proceedings while Trick &
Kubic feat. Valeska break out the attitude on "Easy".
Pashka comes next with "Island Breeze", a tasty dish
of dance with a hint of trance subdued. Andy Cato's
"La Luna" is a suitably nocturnal number and
"Discopolis" by Lifelike & Kris Menace brings you
tomorrow's discotheque. Disc 1 rounds out with
"Eurodans" by Todd Terje, a track that touches the
night sky. Disc 2 rolls out with The Egg's "Walking
Away," an electronically grabilicious piece, followed
by "Guttersnipe" by Stretch N Vern, an acidic and
highly textured slice of infectious goodness. Chris
Lake's "Changes" follows that with mix of electronic
kick and keyboard flavah. "321" by Axer keeps the
techy flavor going and DJ Rooster & Sammy Peraita
present The Digital Pimps on "Atraktion" which
continues the futureflow. Chab's "Lover" ratchets up
the electronically heavy groove with added hook and
glory; Buick Project takes it a bit spacey with
"Lumieres". The music moves on from there to Shauna
Solomon and "I Wanna Be," a deep track that pulses
under your veins. Then it's time for Armind van
Helden's "Sugar," sinking even deeper into your
marrow. Tiefschwartz hits with "Fly" and "Rej" from
Ame achieves depth with subtlety and hints of
trance-ishness. Hitting the home stretch is Theo
Pariah and "Falling Up" adds just a dash of sinister
and some playfulness as well. We hit the end with Roy
Ayers' "Tarzan," a spacious and melodic closer spiced
with world flavors and tribalism. "Miami 2006" is
solid from the beginning of Disc 1 to the closeout on
the second CD. The music rings with strong DJ craft,
tightly mixed textures and just the right amount of
eclecticism in a smooth flow of top shelf dance music.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
