Dan puts the petal to the metal!

"DJ Dan never grabbed my attention until I saw him live with Donald Glaude at the Quest in Minneapolis. DJ Dan has a real care free and loose, but very energetic style.



He does a great job of giving you the feeling you get at his live shows on CD. I feel this is actually DJ Dan's most well rounded CD as far as track picks go. All of his previous albums are great, but there is always those few tracks that either run on too long or I have to skip altogether. The tracks on this CD run together smooth like butter. No tracks literally jump out as standout tracks compared to his other albums. This is just a smooth, fun, and even mix where all the tracks hold each other together very well.



Also there is a second disc of goodies. Although the first disc is worth the price alone, the second disc is good for both long time and new fans alike. Long time Dan fans can hear rarities and B-sides they may not have heard unless they bought them on wax (which I did). New fans will get to hear several remixes of "That Zipper Track" from the "golden years" of DJ Dan. Many have already heard that song hammered to death on several compilations or mixes. It's cool to take a look back at the song that helped Dan become the forefront of DJ's all over the world. The second disc does not leave much desire for repeat listening. In fact most will only listen to that disc once or maybe twice before the novelty wears off. The true value goes into the repeat listening value of CD 1.



Overall DJ Dan puts the petal to the metal on "Accelerate." He keeps it hard and keeps it funky. This CD gives me energy and leaves me feeling happy. I listen to it to get pumped up for sales in the morning when I am battling rush hour to work. I would recommend this to fellow funky house junkies or anyone who enjoys upbeat, feel good, care free music.

"If you want to hear some of dan's more funkiest stuff, well you better jump on this cd...its fast, its fun, and really sets the mood for any fun night...the disco-ish basslines are crazy good, and mesh so well with eachother..his mixes are again flawless, and signature DJ DAN. The bonus CD is great, as the unreleased tracks are the FULL CLUB VERSION, enabling DJs to actually use the CD to play some rare grooves. Dont even think twice...just click on add to cart!!!!"

This man is a god....
