Review: Defected's ongoing House Masters series should be essential listening for anyone keen to discover more about the recording careers of some of the scene's most iconic producers. Certainly, this latest installment, chronicling NYC legend Todd Terry's finest moments, contains far more hits than misses. At 35 tracks deep, it's a bit of a beast, but features not only all of his best-known productions ("Weekend", "Can You Party", "I'll House You", "Bango (To The Batmobile)", his remix of Everything But The Girl's "Missing"), but also a swathe of lesser-known remixes (A slammin' version of Bizarre Inc's "I'm Gonna Get You"), Dubs (a brilliantly stripped-back version of Hardrive's "Voices Inside My House") and original productions (the hip-house era madness of Black Riot's "Warlock").
Review: Over the years, many a remixer has tackled CLS's monolithic 1991 dance monster "Can You Feel It". The latest outfit attempting to scale the dizzying heights of this now rite-of-dance-music-passage is Prok & Fitch. The boys have done good too, taking over six minutes to work their magic - slowly building up looping white isle friendly bass and teasing with glimpses of the iconic keyboard riff of the original. Eventually (about halfway through) we get the vocals and that killer riff in full and, from then on in, it's peak time delirium!
