The tracks Doc Martin has mixed on this compilation have elements of jazz and funk infused into the house style.
Standout tracks are "Shaun Escoffery - Day's Like This" , "Wally Callerio - In Your Arms" & "Rob Mello - Fantasize".
This is the second dj mix compilation to be released by Classic Records. The other "Thanks for coming by..." being a two disk set mixed by Luke Solomon & Derrick Carter (who are both co-owners of Classic Records), is also a great compilation.
If you like the following djs you are sure to like this compilation: DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, Luke Solomon, Mark Farina, MAW, Roger Sanchez, Jose Nunez, Armand Van Helden, Antoine Clamaran or Bob Sinclar.
This cd is a top buy, it probably won't leave your cd player for a VERY long time, it is sheer quality all the way through.
Worth 5 stars!
Doc always tells a story through his mixes (something that is lost in the vacuous mixes going on these days), and this one is joyful and uplifting. Starting out with ?Just for Fun,? I can feel the happiness that Doc shares right from the start. Then he beams out the rays of ?Day?s Like This,? which is so bright and happy, it makes me smile like a sunflower. Right after, Doc is reflective with ?Lovelee Day? ? its echoey sound whispering from the ether. I tear here as I?m reminded of the mortal realization of watching my days from beginning to the natural end. It?s beautiful!
Doc also reaches out with a gay sensitivity as he plays ?Down.? This is so bold and refreshing as Doc steps out of the narrow line that today?s mega-mundane DJ?s follow (I wish Doc would play at more gay clubs). Doc knows the roots of this music, and there are even hints of old-school Disco with ?Off Side? and ?Super Disco.? These tracks are almost a tribute to the master -- Larry Levin and the Paradise Garage.
Doc?s humanity shows through with his insight into unrequited love. House?s message is love and the yearning for it, because this planet lacks it so much. Doc captures this idea with the lonely ?Hold On? ? so heart felt, aching for finding that special someone. If that?s not enough, he leads into ?In Your Arms,? which repeatedly says ?I need your love.? We all know that we?re not getting the love we need, and Doc shares this idea so fluidly that its so real.
?Sounds You Can Feel? is so true. As a true dance believer, this mix is rich with wonderful tracks and Doc?s mastery to fill its canvas with each delightful stroke - penetrating deeper and deeper until you explode with exhilaration. This is one CD mix I will keep coming back to for more, and more, and more? How lucky I was to be able to see Doc at the CD Release party at Giant (even though my t-shirt was missing even though I carefully hid behind the stacked chairs near the kitchen). It was soooo good and healing to see Doc after almost 10 years since his parties at the Hong Kong Club. Forever in the faith!
