Review: Between 1995 and 2002, Luke Solomon and the late Kenny Hawkes held a Wednesday night residency at Bar Rumba in London's West End. This was Space, and this collection pays tribute to the party and the records that rocked the dancefloor. Fittingly, it starts with Hawkes' 'Dance For Me', a nine-minute house bumper blessed with warped speed garage bass, and ends with a Solomon co-production, Freaks' trippy deep house jam 'Flywithme (Part 1)'; in between, you'll find such peak-time delights as Jedi Knights' sweaty, loose-limbed breakbeat house blast 'The Knock (Big Knockers)', the organ-rich, Sound Factory-style brilliance of 'Surrender Yourself (Ballroom Mix)' by The Daou, the pots-and-pans percussion insanity of Cajmere remixing Armando ('The Future'), and a smattering of classics (Ten City, killer remixes from MAW and Mood II Swing).
Review: Submerge release yet another full-blown leviathan of a compilation for all you Detroit addicts out there! This has literally got it all, ranging from classic rhythms like Underground Resistance's "Timeline" or Disco D's infamous electro monster "SOS", and even various re-ups from DJ Assault's vaults, such as "Dick Ride" and the hip-hop filtered "Same Ho"; to lesser known beasts by the likes of DJ Zap, DJ Godfather and many others! There are over thirty pieces here, so take your time and enjoy. Whatup doe!
