DJ Kicks - Tiga (Mixed By Tiga) - Various Artists

Advantages: Nice variation of electro, house, disco and techno
Disadvantages: Camp overtone

...One of the many infamous DJ Kicks albums, this one from the electro king of camp - Tiga. Tiga's, from Canada been around for many years, owns his own electro/house label called Turbo. I have been a fan of his music and mix CD's since I started gaining an interest in electroinc music. Some of his early CD's and productions were more on a techno vibe with his latest stuff on the more electro housey tip. Anyhow, this DJ Kicks installation is an oldy but really good, one of my favourites I have heard in the series. The style of it is mainly electro house with hints of disco and techno thrown into the mix, all tracks seemlessly mixed together in a nice progressive order. There is also quite a camp element in the album as he is prone to getting on the mic and singing a few lyrics. This is apparent in Miss Kitten's classic 'Madame Hollywood... Read review

Advantages: Lots of tracks all at good length of time, great mixing and choice of tunes
Disadvantages: sometimes repetitive

...Being a fan of house music especially electro house I was very pleased with the quality and song choice on the three disks. There are many highlights such as 'Drop It' by the Audio Bullys that has not been released commercially as a single. This is up to their usual high quality of songs with deep bass lines and sheer confusion of what beats to add. Classic Bullys. Other greats like the Trophy Twins remix of 'When The Lights Go Down' by Armand Van Helden has a constant but fantastic beat. A perfect example for anyone of what to expect of this album The mixing is also fantastic. Not too long and not too short, a perfect length of time. It is also nice to see that often the Dj simply stops one track then starts the next. This is done effectively and if buy the album see will see what I mean. It is refreshing to see a compilation out... Read review

Advantages: Massive Bass!!
Disadvantages: Windows Could Shatter

...to listen to it. The ones that I have listened to are quite good. The 1st 11 tracks on this CD are brilliant because it all varies especially MVP-Rock ya Body, which is a mix but so bassy and fast. I find that on CD 2 the best song is Mr Oizo- Flat beat. CD 1 has more recognised songs, and CD 2 is a load of mixed rubbish with the exception of 1 or 2. I paid £14.99 for it at the time. I always take this with me when in any friends cars to test there speakers, me mate with an Orion tried it and 10 seconds in both of his tweeters split at the cone! Track List: CD1 (In Track Order) Ice Cube - You Can Do It Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night (Stanton Warriors Remix) Three Of A Kind - Babycakes (Qualifide Remix) Kelis - Milkshake (DJ Zinc Remix) M.V.P. - Roc Ya Body (DJ Zinc Remix) Mickey Finn & Aphrodite - Badass Shy FX - Shake UR Body Eric Prydz...
