Fantazia Club Classics (Mixed By Brandon Block Robbo And Rob Marmot) [Digipak] - Various Artists

Advantages: Great tunes exclusive to the dancefloor; Superbly mixed; Less commercial than other Dance CDs.
Disadvantages: Too long to wait for the next release!

...house music. This CD represents a landmark in the history of the kissdafunk brand, as it is their first CD and therefore represents a milestone in the development of the club. The CD ---------- The music itself consists of a mix of vocal, funky and electro house music, which is typical of the style of music played at kissdafunk. Generally speaking, CD One, mixed by Rob Tissera is more funky house, while CD Two is more electro dominated. The thing I really like about this CD is that many of the tunes are less commercial, but well known to genuine clubbers. Far too many dance music CDs today, consist of the same songs in a different order. Take Ministry of Sound CDs such as "Clubbers Guide" and "Funky House Sessions." Many of them contain the same overplayed, commerical tracks, such as "Fedde Le Grand - Hands up for Detroit... Read review

Advantages: Good range of drum and bass tunes. Lots of classics
Disadvantages: Bad if you are after the current style of drum and bass or dirty tunes.

...I bought this cd one day after having a browse through a high street music shop. I came across it and started having a browse of the tunes on the cd. As a listener/dj of drum and bass, i recognised a few of these tunes and thought why not. There are a lot of timeless tunes all mixed by Goldie.

Anyway, I can appreciate this cd, although not mixed as well as a lot of mixes i have heard, it is... Read review

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...of drug references and average rhymes 10 Crack Commandments - Notorious BIG. A song taken from BIGs Life After Death, probably the worst song on that and this album. Its just a list relating to drug deals making reference to the line, never get high on your own supply. Poor production that im sure has been used since Mr Scarface - Scarface. Ok i take it back this is the worst one. Originally released in 91 so its dated beats dont mix well with the up to date rap Streets Is Watching - Jay Z. Taken from Jay Z's In My Lifetime album. Good intelligent raps, street warfare and feuds discussed here. Not his best track but not bad Dopeman - NWA.A 1989 release added here and classic beats along with the old rap supergroup. Not really a lot going on but its NWA so you pay attention Criminology - Ghostface Killah & Raekwon. A Rza produced... Read review
