After several months from "Dance Ritual", his last solo compilation since the other ones have been released under the Masters At Work's mark, one of the best djs in the world goes back with a brand new mixed session for King Street Sound, composed by a double cd. Louie Vega's name don't need any kind of presentation for unmistakable reasons but despite of the absolute warranty, it's possible to begin speaking about this new compilation. The first cd opens with the two Kerri Chandler's anthem ("So Let The Wind Come" e "Bar A Thym") which immediately breaks the ice and compels us getting off the dancefloor; after immediately, thanks to the third track selected "Most Precious Love", there is a true and an appropriate exaltation of house music in its classicalist form. For the rest it is possible to notice a slow down of the rhythm and it allows space to longer, more stretched out and more refined tracks from others interpreters of US soulful/deep scene as Mr. V, Peven Everett, Dennis Ferrer, Joi Cardwell e Lil Louis; even if the beginning speeded away, this cd expresses master Louie Vega's softest side. As for the second part it's like we jumped back of ten years, when the NY scene ruled the world and no wonder for the opening track which is Basil's "City Streets", produced by Kerri Chandler. Among the many available songs there's to point out cases like Mondo Grosso's "Souffles H", Tears Of Velva's "The Way I Feel", Bassmental's "It's The Music" and Big Moses'"Brighter Days". Going towards the closure of this second mixed cd, we can find two modern titles of King Street's catalogue as Dennis Ferrer's "Destination" and Studio Apartment's "We Are Lonely", proposed in the Quentin Harris' dub version. The end is given from the Urban Soul's (aka Roland Clarke) track, "Show Me". The class is not water and this cd is the umpteenth proof of Louie Vega's great skills. For the nostalgic persons of old school house music it is absolutely suggested to purchase it.
