Review Ayia Napa - The Album / Shanks & Bigfoot:Shanks and Bigfoot, who bought us the classic "Sweet Like Chocolate", have done garage lovers proud with Ayia Napa-The Album. These two CDs have enough anthems between them to make you weep with joy and run to the travel agent for a ticket out to the latest party island. From B15 Project featuring Crissy D and Lady G's "Girls like U" to Stanton Warriors remix of Jocelyn Brown's seminal "Somebody Else's Guy" there is never a dull moment, with each mix carefully thought out and perfectly executed. Shanks and Bigfoot provide plenty of new material but luckily are not afraid to include old floor-fillers like their own "Straight from the Heart" as Doolally. There are 42 tracks from a diverse selection of artists-from new boy on the block Craig David to old-school heroes like Monie Love and Noodles (here in the guise of Groove Chronicles). -Danny Johnstone.

Review Winter Chill, Vol. 2 / Various Artists:Wave farewell to our ever-shortening summer season and concentrate on feeling autumnal for a while instead. You might think the deluge of chill-out comps is finished, but it's not, because the cold season is as good a time to "chill" as any, as compilers extraordinaire Hed Kandi are keen to remind us. It's merely a different kind of relaxation we require now apparently, and their much lauded Winter Chill and Serve Chilled compilations are just the ticket. This latest collection of tracks includes such wintry gems as "Makes Me Feel" by Balearic superstars Afterlife, the impossibly good "Porcelain" by Moby, Bent's glorious "Swollen", "Deliver Me" by The Beloved, "Lebanese Blonde" by Thievery Corporation and "Dive Into You" by futuristic jazz-master Hefner. With more supine delights from the likes of Muki, Blue States, LTJ Bukem and Paul Van Dyk, among others, Hed Kandi have once again provided us with a great soundtrack to the upcoming long winter nights. -Paul Sullivan.

Review DJ Kicks - Nightmares on Wax: Mixed By Nightmares on Wax / Nightmares On Wax:Nightmares on Wax's DJ Ease is best known for producing a pacific (even comedown) version of hip-hop or downtempo music. Compiling and mixing this album for the DJ Kicks series (which has included rapturously received collections from Stereo MCs and Kruder & Dorfmeister) he presents a subtle mix that moves from hazy breakbeat jazz into leftfield, modern (and politically correct) UK and US hip-hop. Using material from Mo'Wax (the high-velocity delivery of Blackalicious), A Tribe Called Quest, NYs Kenny Dope and Manchester's Grand Central, Ease scratches and fuses an expert selection of alt. hip-hop. At times he layers tunes which themselves sample other tunes to create a complex mesh of meaning and reference. He also includes a couple of his own productions and narcissistic sound-a-likes (DJ Trax's "This Place" is more N. O. W. than N. O. [+]
W. "). "Overall Ease" journeys from serious music towards the light-he finishes, exultantly, with disco-inflected work from Deadbeats and Syrup. Going out on a high note. -Tony Marcus.

Review Global Underground: New York / Paul Oakenfold:Arguably the most famous DJ in the world, circa 1999, and certainly one of the most influential across all fields of music, London mix-master Paul Oakenfold enjoys his first Global Underground release in America with a two-disc set that goes to the farthest corners of modern dance-club music. Oakenfold (who has remixed and spun for U2 and co-produced the Happy Mondays) obviously has a phenomenal record collection. Using the hues and vibes of Manhattan, Oakenfold weaves together a landmark house set for those who have never heard one. The first disc is smattered with trancey house grooves, with swirls of funk thrown in for good measure, thanks to Solar Stone's "Flood" and an effortless high-energy mix that allows brief recuperative moments before once again taking off à la the segue from Lustral's "Everytime" into Miro's "Paradise. " The second disc sees Oakenfold playing around with some spacier jungle flavours, such as Ambrosia's "In Your Arms", before enjoying a break-beat-fuelled journey through Talisman & Hudson's "Leave Planet Earth", then effortlessly easing on into trance-house warmth again with Albion's "Air". New York shows that Oakenfold is certainly one of the smoothest operators behind the decks today. Unfazed by the confusing sub-genres of electronica, Oakenfold fondly embraces them all, fashioning sets of rich diversity. As with Global Underground's other releases, this disc is a great starting point for those who wish to dip their feet into club land's musical culture. -Steffan Chirazi.
