KDJ 026 Andres 'untitled' (2x12")
Non-descript label (unlike previous Andres or KDJ releases) with no song
titles, in plain white sleeve.
Overall, a very satisfying release... with improved production and song
writing, following on from the three previous 12"s on KDJ.
SIDE A
1. Sweet cut-up, with a house rhythm... featuring pitched-up male vocals
that sound like a cross between falsetto Smokey Robinson and a chipmunk. :)
2. Another 4-on-the-floor cut-up, with nice flute samples and female vocal
samples.
SIDE B
1. A cut-up of 'Friday Night' by Debbie Welch and Norma Jean Bell (out on
Pandamonium last year). Hip Hop tempo, with hard hitting kicks.
2. Smooth house track, with nice piano samples,and chord progression similar
to '313 Love' (off KDJ 20).
SIDE C
1. Stepping away from previous KDJ releases this is an up-tempo breakbeat
track ('Reality'-style) with a Latin flavour. Featuring a live-sounding
bongo intro. Absolutely killer!
2. Classic KDJ house-style, with a deep piano riff and saxophone samples.
SIDE D
1. Another Latin-flavour breakbeat track with Spanish vocal and guitar
samples.
2. Latin percussion and guitar samples feature on this uptempo breakbeat
track. The pitched-up vocal sample sounds like a cross between Motown and
Ofra Haza (of 'Paid in Full' fame).
A highly recommended release (probably my fav. double pack for the year),
and a good jumping-on point for folks unfamiliar with the KDJ label.
You might want to think about playing Sides A & D at -8% though... then
again maybe you might not. I'm betting that Andres' sampler doesn't have a
'time stretch' function. :)
cheers
