2007 CD reflecting the perennial demand for down-tempo music as highlighted by the runaway success of festivals such as Bestival and The Big Chill. Once again, Jose has selected a plethora of little known but oh-so special eclectic gems to appeal to the multitude of boutique bar DJ's, ipod playlists and crate diggers in search of their summer soundtrack. It is also makes the perfect album for summer listening at home or abroad.

Considering the enormity of the chill-out market it’s hard to imagine that if you looked all the way back to the beginning you would be able to pin the whole thing on one man and one club, but that is the case. Jose Padilla, the man who gave Café Del Mar it’s name, was and still is the master of groovy, sexy and refined chill out music – that is far superior to anyone else’s efforts. He has an instinctive understanding of his genre, and tracks by Linn, Brazilian Girls, Tripswitch, Bebel Gilberto, Quad and Daniel Wang are classic grooves that you should seriously consider uploading to your ipod before taking that trip to the sea.

DJ Mixed Release Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzales and Lil’ Louie Vega made their production debut on the New York label way back when, so there can be no-one more fitting to compile the first new album release on the imprint. In case you didn’t know, Strictly Rhythm were one of the most important house labels of the 1990s. Established by entrepreneur Mark Finkelstein and serious club babe Gladys Pizzarro, the label would launch the careers of, among others, Roger Sanchez, Erick Morillo and, as we’ve seen, Masters At Work. Pretty significant, then! ‘Strictly MAW’ is an album no true househead will want to miss.

Slap That Bass! is a 4cd box set that is full of the finest finnish rockabilly and 50′s style rock’n'roll. It was compiled by Mikko Aaltonen and released by Johanna Kustannus on 17th of february. I know this might not totally fall into that “finnish pop” category, but it’s an important release nevertheless. Actually it’s worthy of those onechord’s imaginary culture awards and even though I’m not a huge rockabilly fan, Slap That Bass!

Erick Morillo's never been one to pay much heed to subtlety. His earliest productions, such as '93's "I Like to Move It" (produced with Ralphie Munez under the Reel II Reel moniker) and '94's "Dancing," established him as a party-time hustler, more interested in getting girls on the dance floor than in pleasing the chin strokers. His longtime label, Subliminal, pioneered the whole buzzy-bassline-with-tribal-beats sound that still packs 'em in at the superclubs. And his DJ sets, whether they're at his home base of Pacha NYC or on the Mediterranean's White Island—where he's been dubbed "The King of Ibiza"—are full-throttle, 130 BPM house-music muggings. And then there are those flirtations with the likes of P. Diddy and Tommy Lee.…
