24/7 (Compiled By DJ Astralex) - Various Artists

Advantages:

...This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs. If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!) Artists include: Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box.... As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies! Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'.... Read review

...I have had Dj Hypes drum and bass arena album since around christmas last year, and i am still not bored of it. It has a lot of different artists on it, with a range of different types of drum and bass. I love to listen to this album when driving, tidying the house, or just doing nothing. it is a really good back round album when i have friends round too, as everyone enjoys the music it has on it. I also love to dance to the songs on this album, but i do not let many people see me doing that !!! I would really reccomend this album to anyone, it could suit many peoples music taste. It is also pretty good value for money, seeing as there are so many artists on it.... Read review

...and firmly establishing the Café del Mar series on the alternative and electronica scene. Jose had always had a lifelong ambition of becoming a DJ, and after moving to Ibiza, he found his dream had come true when he was offered a job Djing in Café Del Mar in 1990. Jose’s blend of laid back dance and ambient cool soon elevated him to become one of the Café’s most prominent acts and later, the now ex-resident of Del Mar swapped his decks for a producer’s chair. His job was to compile a CD each year that captured the spirit of the chillout Café by picking the prize cuts from the period and sending them back across the Med to the mainlands and the UK. Café Del Mar lies somewhere between the 2 types of compilation I listed above – it is superb to listen to from start to finish, but you can easily pick out some storming tracks... Read review
