Shellers - Lotta Love vs Rise (Acapella) Release Notes: Sanchez continues to celebrate his lengthy love affair with house via his latest "Release Yourself 4" compilation, kicking off simultaneously with the Ibiza's opening parties, with Roger and the RY posse hosting Monday nights at the glorious Pacha, this summer can only get hotter. CD1 entitled "Pre-Party" casually opens with Mylo's (mild) Mix of the delightful Sia's “Breathe Me”, followed by the vocal masterpiece of Sueno Soul's “A Better Love” revisited during Rocco's re-rub. Some early-on disco house by Raw Artistic Soul that's funky and sublime, pipes and flutes playing away in their “Kana” tune, skilfully mixed into Franck Roger & M’selem's soulful soiree “No More Believe”, where smooth R&B meets house head-on. A gorgeous little Spanish guitar riff and some Cubic magic with sexy senorita vocals in The Cube Guys "Te Queiro" (also released on Stealth) is just plain luuuvly, leaving you carried away by Gregor Salto's sexy vocal and awesome chords in “Boa Viagem”. CD2 starts with the Ibiza opener by Sueno Soul “Tempa Da Solo” (David Vendetta's remix) before the skipping beats and catchy pop-lyrics of We Deliver's “Breathe Again” classic. Without a doubt the album's stand out track has to be “Babylon (Into A Groove)” by Nu Rhythmix, a timeless sing-along vocal perfectly tuned to some funky-ass samba beats. Swiftly followed by Angel Moraes' “You Should’ve Said” featuring Dana Divine - another lovers special, with yet more beautiful melodies played out on piano with some fresh percussion. The S Man’s quote above comes in the form of Muzzaik’s gospel-ish “Save Our Souls” whereas Holmes Ives featuring Avalon Frost’s “8-Letters” goes electric, chunky and pumping house on a truly tribal trip. Uplifting African drums of Jesse Garcia's “Let’s Get Happy” rendition lead on to the concluding, progy “Nocturnal (Nocturne 2)” by Klement Bonelli featuring Dragon Fly and the more euphoric anthem “Lotta Love” by Sucker DJ’s with a sneaky “Rise” accapella thrown in on top, finishes the mix. A selection of sophisticated and chilled tuneful vibes warm the air with the Pre-Party disc, and disc 2, the Party disc is altogether more fluent in continuity with tune after tune of vibrant, house anthems. Bring on the Ibiza marathon Sanchez sets, as he said to Tong on Radio 1 the other day “I eat 7 hour sets for breakfast!”.
