COMMENTS

Wicked - both and A1 and B1 are very good on the floor.  
(Johnny Chandler - Social/Bridge & Tunnel/BBC 94.9/Various - UK)



Nice light touch - ideal for mellow summer sets!  Very good. 
(Richard Norris - Various/trustthedj.com - London)



B1 - Superb mix! 
(Jon Cedar - The End/AKA/Herbal/Various - UK/International)



Pretty good - a lot of the definition got lost in the mix somewhere though
- couldn’t tell whether that was the point or if a crisper mastering session
could have brought the bits and pieces out a bit. 
(Jamie Hombre ‘2 Amigos’ - Hombre Rex/Various - Bristol/Worldwide)



This is all strong stuff!  Love it; chilled and well on a jazzy,
funk tip - loads going on. 
Main mix on the B is a fave here but we love Moodorama’s
remix - right up our street - dubby,
lots of top echo, backwards vocals and deep bass
- as we said before - wonderful. 
(One Deck Pete - Steroid Abuse/Early Doors- UK)



Useful…  (Kev Beadle - Sosho/Solar/Various - UK)


S’alright - could fall into the jazzy beats hole - it’s very polite. 
(Bonobo - Tru-Thoughts/Ninja Tune/Various - UK)



This is all strong stuff but not what I play  - will stock a few in the shop. 
(Anthony Cox - Flying/Various - London)



SUMMARY


Very good reactions for this,
with support coming from the likes of Rob Da Bank,
Bukem, Tutto Matto, Quantic and Chicken Lips.
Very well produced, beautiful Latin fusion with mixes that strengthen the 12”
further for the dancefloors. The odd critic finds it a bit too jazzy,
or ‘nice’ for their
tastes, but the vast majority were feeling it.
Lots of interest in hearing more from this artist, and it’s seen as another
quality release from Audiopharm
