CLUB AZULI - MIXED BY DAVID PICCIONI (AZULI) |
| |
From retro-rave flaves and disco doings (Full
Intention's "I Believe in You" and Rasmus Faber's "Get
Over Here") to some new-wavishy tingings (Jacques Lu
Cont's remix of Depeche Mode's "A Pain That I'm Used
To"), from trance touched trippyness (Lindstrom's "I
Feel Space") to infectios R&B, funktified
get-up-and-moveness, the smoothly mixed,
tasty-textured beats and such that drive "Club Azuli"
kick it up to the right notch. The Azuli name has
garnered praise for its string of dance albums and
this one will just add to the props, no doubt. The
album represents the start of a brand spankin' new
project (for which the CD is titled); just think - new
doings from an old hat - this label has been doing the
house thing for ages, a veritable grandaddy in the
fast-moving and quickly changing dance scene. But old
fogy Azuli's not and this disc proves it as it keeps
things on the shakeup. The music manages to pump and
pulse and keep up a steady beat without tumbling into
repetition and each of the songs manages to find its
own taste to distinguish it from the previous. Some
house is drab but this ain't that house. While this
doesn't quite reach the levels of trance (at least for
me), it's still classy house sounds and those whose
bodies move best to a slab of house tracks will likely
give some repeat play to this one. (Purchasers of the
album will get a Club Azuli Card, each with its own
number and bringing with it perks such as discounts on
upcoming releases, price cuts on clubbing fun and
more. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
