1 Bad DJ manages to combine Hip Hop and House like childsplay....Check out "Shake"...PURE GENIUS!!
   

Funky start - like the guitar. And the background vocal ?wail?. 0:30 funky funky guitar - love it. Dunno about the low looped vocal tho. 0:55 great break. Like the new vocal sample. 1:30 good bassline. My girlfriend really likes the bass and congas! She won't stop moving. Recording levels are fantastic. Vocals great. Good use of repetition. 2:25 very good break. You got it down bro' Not even the slightest bit bored. Dig this house/disco. Okay the hey (loop) is getting a little irritating - cut it or filter it or sommat. Nice little break at 3:00. 3:45 and still going!!!! . 4:00 awesome buildup!!!! all the way to 4:23. Just feel it!!! YES I DO!. Okay gotta dance, brb. Hokay - love it. All the way to 6:15. What else is there to say - wehre do you get all this funk from? Tracks quite long - tiring a little though the stuff is really cool. Nice bring around to the start with the vocal at 7:30. Decent enough ending - fade out for DJ's I guess. And I like the recurring Just fell it. Hokay overall: Interest: 15/10 (nothing else to say) Sound: 15/10 You've got funk - you'd better make it big or else I'll lose all hope in mp3.com charts and promotion

"Shake" is Fresh Hip-House for 2000, inviting you to "Shake whatca Mama gave ya" in a "Noo York Style". More 2 In A Room than EPMD, but would still go down a storm in Post-House Clubs.
   

I think I've come across this song before...have we shared a review/admiration moment before? Yeah, one of my tracks are on one of your stations. Alright, class, Mr. DJ gets extra credit for the breakdown around 1:30. I have found my first five-star recommendation of the thread. Everyone who is into funk and house music should buy this muthas CD - if the rest of his tracks are this good. FatBoy Who? This is the good that comes from a global economy - a U.K. d.j. keeping the funk alive! Alright, there's a sloppy break/fill just before the Five minute mark. Don't know if it's live guitar or a loop, but you better have clearance, cause this shit could blow up. Honestly, this review is not biased cause the brother put me on his station - the track is just that bangin. Let the download begin - if I had 10Gs, I'd sign your ass to a distribution deal NOW.

"Deepa! Deepa! NOW we're talkin deep baby! Ok where do I start. I love it! I was pulled in right from the start. I hear my beloved percussion instruments and some fonky fonky wah wah guitar...SHAFT! Can you dig it? Is that a fender rhodes I hear?...I just can't take it! But PLEASE TELL ME WHY IT IS SO SHORT? It's like having just one spoonful of Hagen Dazs Ice Cream! I must have more! Mr. 1 Bad DJ...is it possible for you to give us an extended remix where you just throw down? Come on wit' it!"

The 1 Bad DJ in question is Cornwall's own DJ Spang, who has been testing out his own material at clubs for 12 years now. You can bet your life that if he throws this one on, the place will come alive, whatever the club.
What we've got here is a near perfect dance track, bursting with energy, with a pounding Bassline from start to finish. Chuck a serious Ragga Chant in the mix + you've got a powerful slice of Old Skool House.'Ear da Muzik Come T'ru! demands this track. Don't argue with the man. Just Do It.....
