Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Never predictable, Washington duo Deep Dish mix tunes in that resolutely Chocolate City way, ie, a little short of menacing. Their Ibiza mix debut follows their City's warped but fun tradition to the letter, bending the rules of the club compilation along the way. Despite being recorded for progressive house heads Renaissance, this is not Sasha & Digweed "breakdown" music or chill-out for the hyperactive. Instead, they serve up trance in the old-fashioned sense--cinematic, euphoric and definitely not soul-soothing. When they drop Everything But The Girl's "Temperamental" and twist it into a tech house monster groove, we have our first truly Balearic moment. From this point, the compilation (an elegant 3 CD box set) kicks into overdrive, working up the music into hardcore sci-fi funk. This doesn't mean that the Yoshi Toshi boys are adverse to genre trashing. Dubfire and partner's sweeping elegiac mix mashes up thumping floor fillers, twisted Latino bass, "I Testify" garage music, Radiohead wannabes Muse ("Sunburn") and Kinetic's "Golden Girls" with tongue firmly in cheek. On CD 2 and CD 3 the emphasis switches from melody to rhythmic intensity and rushes of sound. Flutes, drums and dubbed-out vocals carry tunes sucha s "Ubik" (Timo Maas), "Dreaming" (BT) and "Circuit Breaker"(ECVM) before edging towards the madness of Green Velvet's freakshow, "Flash".--Maxine Kabuubi

Seems like Amazon are convinced that there is a mythical 3rd disc to this set. What is actually labelled as Disc 3 is actually the acapellas which Deep Dish layer over the tracks to give them that extra added dimention. In fact it seems that disc 2 has mysteriously had the tracks spawn identical twins. Oh well, can't be right all the time.
Renaissance Ibiza is the ideal antidote to all the generic 'Trance Nation X' albums vomited up to us the public by the likes of Gatecrasher, Ministry and Cream. Away go the monotonous one note basslines, the awful synth melodies and breakdowns, the terrible 'screaming blonde bint x' vocals. In comes a deeply crafted yet no less pumping mix of quality. As soon as Pink Cigarettes starts playing, you know you've hooked into something beautiful. One of the all time best ways to start a mix off. The mood of the mix is deep deep electronic house, with leanings towards trance minus the cheese. Lush synths punctuate the tracks set against grinding mechanical percussion. The deep intro tracks of disc 1 move into the etherial vocals of Tracey Thorn on Temperamental before the new updated version of prog house classic Kinetic really thunders along. Bassy! Several big tunes from the Deep Dish stable punctuate, the massive anthem in the form of their remix of Sven Vath, the lush spaceyness of The Flying Song, the dark thunder of 16b's remix of Morel. All quality.
Where disc 1 starts off deep and builds up, disc 2 carries on from where it left off. A Timo Maas marathon sets the tone for the mix, lots of funked up, thumpy progressive house grooves from a time when Timo was firing on all cylinders. Danny Tenaglia pops up with his classic remix of Green Velvet before BT, ECVM and MRE drop all the main letters from their names and provide the very progressive trance end to the mix. A perfect antidote to all those just plain sick of Milk Inc, Lasgo, Scooter, Genric Trance Band #32. And don't be put off with the usage of Ibiza in the title, its about as far from the generic Ibiza compilation as you can get! I found this mix exciting and fresh, easily worthy of putting up on the pedestal with the more funky house of their Yoshiesque 1. Top form Deep Dish.

One of very few dance albums that you can lie back and listen to, also one of very few that give an accurate depiction of clubs sounds around britain. No commercial rubbish here, just pure deep house and trancey sounds at it's best.
