"The mood of Lost Change ranges from fuzzy funk too jazzy downright jiggy. will.i.am utilizes some creative production tricks, such as building the bouncy I am around throaty beatbox. I'm trying to bridge the gap to those closed minded people who think hip-hop is only a certain way because they've just been listening to it for so long.

"Johnny 'D' DeMairo has always been about disco. It was something that underpinned his seminal house label Henry Street Music (named after a cross street in his Brooklyn neighborhood), the imprint he set up with Tommy Musto in 1993. It was a place where the particles of classic disco and the four-to-the-floor throb of house music were smashed together to create something new, something that would extend the life of these underground anthems and introduce them to a new audience. Armand Van Helden, Kenny Dope, Lil' Louie Vega, Terry Hunter, DJ Sneak, Todd Terry, DJ Duke; they all turned it out for Henry Street, and tracks like Dope's 'The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)' and Van Helden's 'The Funk Phenomena' made it a pivotal part of house music history. This selection is about the tracks that would inform Henry Street, the tracks found deep within the complex strings of its DNA, the tracks championed by Pettibone on Kiss or by Washington at the Studio, or those dredged from crates across the city. Half-heard anthems from Italy tracked down through forensic research in the record shops of the five boroughs, rare dub versions of classics that you won't be finding on eBay anytime soon."

"Multi platinum selling producer Osunlade will surprise his house music disciples with a return to his soundtrack scoring origins. This album tells of his love affair with the beautiful Greek Island of Santorini & pays homage to its rich unspoilt culture. Sonically it describes his experience, full of feeling, opening a window into what was going through his mind while he was a resident. Recorded live over a 12 day period, this is a stunningly beautiful soundscape, taking house tempos, and lushly orchestrating them with strings and divine horn solos to produce a masterpiece. Although very deep and ambiently solemn, the album still has huge dancefloor potential. A wide range of rhythms and timbres run deep through out the album, from traditional African influences, to fat breaks, to jazzy broken beats."
