Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This amazing album depicts the deck craft of one of dance music's founding fathers. Kevorkian, a French jazz drummer who migrated to America in 1975 was one of the first DJs to mix and edit disco records into 12" cuts, prolonging the grooves and creating dynamic workouts for adventurous dancers. Yet this is much more than disco, it's a journey from funk filled 1970s New York City when breakbeats and disco edits were emerging from the primordial sonic soup through to electro, early garage, house, hip-hop, techno and drum & bass. Familiar names such as D Train, Chaka Khan, Kraftwerk and James Brown sit alongside rarities from Akwaaba, Adonis, Willie Hutch and Level 42. This isn't a mix album in the conventional sense, there's not much blending or cutting, but it is a beautiful and thoughtful exploration of dance music's many moods by someone who understands and can integrate them better than most. --Jake Barnes

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Flight Original NY DJ Gives Us That Retrospective Flava, 29 Jun 2000
By A Customer
New York's finest DJ/Producer/Remixer takes us from here to there and back, and beyond. A complete guide to the last 25 years of serious dance music that New York has grooved and strutted to. From the opening Deep, melodic haunting tones of Basic Channel, right through Chaka Khan's Paradise Garage anthem 'I Know You, I Live You', you get a feel of really incredible dance music that is more than just pick of the moment normality. Who else has mixed George Benson alongside Kraftwerk? The man is a genius. There are those who believe Larry Levan was the one we should all be eternally grateful, (dont get me wrong he too, needs maximum respect) but I feel Francois has given us a lifetime of magical musical moments that will be remembered in a long time to come. If you only invest in one 'mix' album this year, make sure its this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre excellence, 26 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This Album is good, in fact it's very good. But you'll only realise that after it's been in your machine non-stop for a few days. Not the usual big name to appear on this label, but the class is evident. This ablum is not about the mixing, or about the huge anthems of the moment, it's about the tunes that have shaped NYC's scene of the last 25 years. Don't be scared by the play list oddity, do yourself a favour and get cultured.
