Miguel Migs - 24th St Sounds

Now I have been a fan of the soulful House grooves of Miguel Migs since first encountering them with the various early Naked Music label releases. Let's face it, it is nice to know that Santa Cruz can produce more than Sarah macLachlan fans and a University with a banana slug for a mascot.

That being said, this one does not bubble as consistently. The basslines are less compelling, and the Rhodes vamps sometimes appear to be on autopilot, even though they still sound great. What sells this 2cd set is the mix session of disc two, where you get a real build up and release feel instead of the discrete cuts laid out in a rather staid manner of disc one.
