"Throughout this compilation, David Harness proceeds to capture the true essence of house music in San Francisco. You can tell from the track selection that David manages to express his character through the medium of his music. The opening track, Salsa Vibes projects images of a carnival in Rio. David takes jazz and soul influences to create a mix which exudes warmth and vitality. One of my personal favourite tracks on the compilation is Taboo Jazz which was produced by David himself alongside Charles Spencer. If you are looking for a layed back mix to relax and unwind to then it does not get any better than this."
The Soul of House

"With this CD, David Harness brings us back to what house music is all about- soul, rythm and a great time. It's all very inviting, like Behind the Groove- a track that feels like a full-blown party you just walked into. Then you see your ex there, and it becomes Tortured Soul. A Lovely Day brings it all back around and the love and Latin vibes abound. Thank you David, for keeping the House love alive..."

"If you love deep, soulful house this cd is a definate must have. The music pumps and pulsates, the rhythms making it difficult for you to not get up and dance. I know many who make it a point to show up wherever Mr. Harness is spinning because they know that he will make them scream and sweat! If you are a child of house, get on point and get this cd. This is one cd that is sure to never collect dust."
