Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

One thing we already know about Philly-based songwriter/producer/remixer/vocalist/DJ Mr Duplaix is that he has more than just a touch of class and hence a worthy addition to the DJ Kicks series. His name has been spotted next to productions by artists like Erykah Badu, Sylk 130, Jazzanova, Incognito, Jamiroquai and Eric Benet, and his own tunes, such as "Manhood" and "Sensuality", have been underground and critical successes. This mix LP reflects his deep and soulful approach to a range of music styles, touching on everything from the opening tribal flavours to broken beat, deep house, hip-hop and r&b. Featuring uptempo tracks from 4 Hero (the "broken beat" classic "Hold It Down"), Herbert ("You Saw It All"), Waiwan ("Feelin Me Feelin You"), Brazilian moods from Mandrake ("Berimbau") and Mr Hermano "Free As the Morning Sun") and some relaxed downtempo vibes from De La Soul ("Copa") and Bahamadia ("Philadelphia"), Duplaix blissfully eschews beat-matching in favour of a more fluid approach. A versatile and sophisticated compilation--cool but never cold--this will seduce anyone open to tasting funky soul food. --Paul Sullivan

5.0 out of 5 stars Click Add to Shopping Basket, 23 May 2002
By A Customer
Once in a while an album of this quality turns up in the public domain, Vikter Duplaix has done it, he has created a masterpiece. Starting off Critical Point- the beginning Duplaix sets the scene with an afrobongo like tune. It seems as if HAL from Arthur C Clarke's 2001 is breaking up the songs with a computerised monotone voice sending every song, each grasped in it's own unique genre, into the future. This eclectic combination of artists is the very essence of Vikter Dupliax. Songs from 4hero, Herbert, Osunlade, de la soul, Erykah badu, even Ashley Beedle gets a mention. But, unsurprisingly it is left to Vikter Duplaix to cut one of the best tracks your likely to hear for some time. Sensuality, a new age funky soulful track that starts with the ever present HAL, fortunetly though the vocals along with a beautiful drumbeat carry this song into a heavenly experience. Next up, Mandrake - berimbau (bongo re-edit) and what a re-edit this is, if you were thinking about throwing a latino style party with lots of crazy Brazilians, then this is the track for you. It starts fairly simply, a kind of Jazz/bongo/trumpet crashing song which gets faster and faster, towards the end you are immersed in a tempo rich tune as if a manic madman has been let loose on the turntable and has just pushed a button that says "if you press this button the tempo will got into free fall". Then, track 12; Hopper featuring carina anderson - welcome to the world, a song you could play to your mother; smooth with nice female vocals. If only the songs were longer, some just three minutes deep, spoils it at times but that's just me wanting more. You will listen to this album over and over again and it will keeep on getting better. As Duplaix looks for a common demoninator between all peoples through his music, he has truly found it here he has found a universal sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Warrior, 11 Feb 2002
"Welcome to the universal sounds of Vikter Duplaix" claims a cybernetic voice, your guide through this DJ Kicks journey of 21st. Century soul. Winner of the Philadelphia city paper "most
stylish" award, this dj, producer, singer, songwriter credits expand in the liner notes of artists like Erika Baduh, Jamiroquai, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Eric Benet, Esthero, and King Britt's Sylk 130 to
name just a few. A high ranking member of the Gilles Peterson's "Worldwide" family, Duplaix is
dedicated to the preservation and expansion of the roots of black american music, once threatened of extinction by the selling out of Hip-Hop and R&B. This mix, featuring Vikter
Duplaix's brand new track "Sensuality", 4Hero, Herbert, De La Soul, Erika Baduh, as well as an
arsenal of rock solid lesser known talents, runs the gamut for all its diversity, a testament that
soul music is still alive and strong.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome, absolutely awesome!!!, 4 Feb 2002
By nu.jazz@boggie.co.uk (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
Listening to this CD is like going thru the WorldWinners of 2001 on Gilles Peterson's show. Even Vikter used expression 'a universal sound' for this mix CD. It's highly enjoyable collection of the big tunes which saves you from buying a lot of singles unless you are vinylhead. Vikter's done pretty good job. No wonder he called his track included on CD 'Sensuality'. It makes a lot of sense.
