Party @ The Ocean Funky House by Selin
Have you heard some good funky house lately? Not me. But I like being proven wrong and love surprises so when my friend Selin from the Netherlands sent me his compilation mix this Fall, was afraid to be deceived, so told him, got samples? Sure, he said.Selin has his own label and company, he recently signed deep and Italian funky house meisters Harley & Muscles, "Deeper Love" with Guerideau on the vocals. One of ... his first release, "Funk Fan Radio" By Franky Sweetz was a favorite funky disco house track on our Nu Top 40 chart 2 years ago and a top 100 favorite for 2005.
Other than "You are the one for me" by Ocefunk with its chipmunk 78 rpm like vocals, the selection is varied and the mix is flawless, impressive considering a computer wasn't used. It was done in one take using a DAT recorder he says. Some tracks are his productions, others are by notable remixers/producers MoD (Juan Sunshine and Gee K) and the Monkey Brothers (Mike Pato and Felix Hopkins).
It goes smooth and funky at times, pumping hard and kickin' ass at others. It's definitely 2007 with layers of electro madness. Best moments are the title track "Party @ The Ocean" "Downtown Lady" and "Invisible".

Greg Wilson's Best of '82 is a re-construction of his inaugural mixes for Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio in May and June 1982, courtesy of Pezz, former DJ at the DIY nights in the Midlands, but more recently the manager of the 3 Beat record shop in Liverpool. How Pezz came to re-do his mixes is a long story, which involves the birth of the band Chicken Lips – there's a booklet with the CD in which Pezz tells the tale.
Alexander Robotnick has made available on his website 3 of his dj sets you can listen to; Electro Disco, Electro House and Electro Acid, very highly recommended. The Electro Disco one will get you off your chair, electronic disco classics from the 70s to the early 80s blended together like only he can, space robot style.
