It's funny to imagine Freddie at home, around thousands of releases from his personal collection, trying to select which ones could figure on this compilation ! Waiting for the "Music For Swingers LP" new release in June on X-Sight records in NY, Mister Analog, known because of his incredible mixes, offers a wonderful and open ears journey into electro, deep house, early hip-hop, break and even acid music. A successful and precious tracklisting with rarities, unreleased tracks and little words from the Minneapolis / St Paul artist himself explaining his musical choices with passion and vibes. Exact glint of the 37 years old B-boy's unlimited background, perfect tribute to more than 15 years of electronic music, this essential CD gathers together 13 beautiful works written by Cherry Bomb (quiet "Matrix"), Quadrant Six ("Body Mechanic" influenced by Japanese music), DMX Crew (famous "Showroom Dummies" remix on Gigolo rec.), Wicked Lester (incredible Latino "Chocolate" title), COD (all time 1983's "In the Bottle" in a new mastered version) or Mann Parrish & Freddy Fresh (exclusive "Smooth" with Freddie's well-known trancey atmosphere). After hard-acid, techno, electro and then big beat experiences, Fatboy Slim, Grandmaster Flash or Schooly D's best remixer, with more than 200 EP's, shows once again its amazing musical ease. Can't wait for the album release in June.
