Reviews


Disco heaven? Maybe... Maybe not.

This year's disco heaven largely follows from previous efforts with a varied collection of funky, soulful and electro-house. This series is normally a Hed-Kandi strength but I think since 2005 its gradually lost its way.
Disc 1 is a mish-mash of funky house with some laborious vocals and the inevitable re-re-re-remix of Robin S' Show Me Love. I'd rather be shown something new at this point.
The second disc starts strongly with more intent than the first. Uplifting glitzy (if not slightly camp) house music wiht a definite underlay of quality and consistency, and finishing strongly with the ever-so-slightly dated Everything is Beautiful by Static Revenger.
By no means a bad collection at all, but peraps not a true representation of the current disco scene, with some genre confusion on disc 1 and some repetition from previous Kandi releases.

Heaven Gone Down....... :(

I have followed Disco Heaven for years now and have always loved Disco Heaven the most out of all house compilations and just can never get enough! Every year has gotten better and better and better! Until......

Disco Heaven 2008... Lets just say that it's still cool, but it sounds like a round up of the best tracks from all the Stereo Sushi volumes this year, butchered and then poorly mixed and blended with boring tracks you would normally find on one of those Ministry Of Sound Housexy compilations. There have been so many other great funky, soulful diva house tracks out there this year so it's a bit of a let down.

While I'm disappointed, I am gonna be positive for next year. Fingers crossed for 2009!
