Synopsis
Album Description House Music is alive and thriving, y'all and here's the proof: Loveslap's new CD series Heartbeat fuses the grit and synthetic sounds of current cutting-edge House with a hefty dose of old-school, earthy Soul. And no contemporary mixologist better embodies this fusion than legendary San Francisco DJ David Harness! One of the true stewards of the REAL Garage sound on the West Coast and a veteran music maker as well, David is known for his emotional, innovative, rump-shaking DJ sets and studio time for labels like Chez and Loveslap. David was clearly the man for the job here, and his mix on Heartbeat, Volume 1 proves once again he has his finger firmly on the pulse of the groove generation. On Heartbeat, Volume 1 Harness? mix moves easily through a wide variety of styles, from radio hit material (Goapele) to deep underground house, never losing his creative spark. |
CD ReviewsA good representation of San Francisco house cosmokane31 | San Francisco, CA United States | 05/11/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "San Francisco's Loveslap Recordings has consistently supplied DJ's and dancers with quality soulful house, the kind with vocals and organic instrumentation. With this disc, David Harness leads off "Heartbeat," a new series of DJ mixes from Loveslap. The first half of the mix is heavy on divas, both male and female. Listeners may differ on whether these R&B-influenced vibes are "deep" or closer to elevator music. But as the mix progresses, Harness drops some undeniable winners, such as Scientific Soul's "Pimenta Malagueta," with its funky accordion riffs, and Harness' own slinky "Tribal Stomp." The mixing is smooth and refreshingly human-sounding. With contributions by hometown favorites Franky Boissy and Goapele, this mix is a good representation of San Francisco house flavor."
