Courtney TenzReviews
Minus: Nothing Much, Something MoreThe result is a hard-hitting blend of the best electro tracks currently on the scene, so good that you may agree with Hawtin and recognize that this is no lazy DJ's mix CD. [30 July 2007] 
Mark Farina: House of OmAnother unique compilation by a seasoned veteran, this DJ mix offers a lively, hip-shaking meditation in Chicago House. [25 July 2007] 
Putumayo: Women of the WorldDespite the different springs feeding into these women's inspirational homes, the album is successful at uniting these unique, accomplished musicians. [18 July 2007] 
Juba Dance: OrangeWith touches of blues, jazz, hip-hop and experimental electronica, Juba Dance has created a genre of its own. [11 July 2007] 
Binder & Krieglstein: Alles VerlorenSounds like a youthful Eminem crashing a polka party and bringing Moby along. 
The Cinematic Orchestra: Ma FleurAn existential tour through a swinging spectrum of emotional highs and lows, the album rawly reflects on the contemporary and universal crises faced by both jazz and humanity. [15 June 2007] 
Azam Ali: Elysium Remixes EP 1 and 2An "endless reverie" of remixes by one of world music's top vocalists. [30 May 2007] 
Nick Warren: ParisTo stay a superstar, though, a DJ's got to be on top of the game; to remain relevant, the music has to respond to ever-changing contemporary cultural needs. [26 April 2007] 
Q-Burns Abstract Message: Agave Nectar, Vol. 1: Q Burns Abstract Message MixA solid house music mix, Agave Nectar Volume 1 needs a little sugar to liven its sound up. [3 April 2007] 
Yndi Halda: Enjoy Eternal BlissYndi Halda has woven a beautiful tapestry with their debut. [29 March 2007] 
Wax Poetic: CopenhagenReleases on Nublu prove as varied and unpredictable as nights out at the like-named live-music bar/lounge in New York's Alphabet City -- you never know who's going to show up, or what mood they're going to be in. [14 March 2007] 
MIDIval PunditZ: RemixedThe New Delhi-based duo MIDIval PunditZ creates dance music that mirrors contemporary India: a hybrid of tradition and technology. Too bad their remixes don't always see this reflection. [12 March 2007]
