"Yoshiesque 2 is the best mix album of 2001. I was a little disappointed with GU 21-Moscow because it doesn't portray the real talent of the DC duo. Yoshiesque is not as progressive nor anthem-based, and sounds much more Deep Dish-like. I agree with most reviewers that disc 2 is superior. But I also like the first CD - it is more relaxed, chill-out, melodic, kind of deep house, not bad, just a differen mood. Great for listening in the car on my way back from a night of dancing in a club. My favorite track on this disc is Lovely-Johnny Fiasco's Lovely Vocal Remix.
Disc 2 (Eastcoast) is more of an energetic club mix but it also sounds pretty deep, and you can't mistake it for anything else - it's Deep Dish! The 'Eastcoast' CD starts with the excellent track - Finally - a big hit in clubland last summer (2001). Track 4 is an awesome remix of Disted - Always Remember to Respect + Honor Your Mother, and is a tribue to Danny Tenaglia by Deep Dish. Another one of my favorite tracks is Afrika by Oliver Lieb which slows down the tempo a little, then the set goes deeper with John Creamer's and Stephane K's 'Wish You were Here'(Also found on GU 21), and then explodes again with the great Deep Dish remix of Delirium's Innocente - one of their best remixes that just makes me wanna dance!
Overall 5 stars - Yoshiesque is everything a mixed album should be - it takes the listener on a journey and never gets boring. Did I mention that the mixing is flawless? Hopefully Deep Dish will deliver more mixes of such great quality in the near future."

More Trance, Less House, but Still All Good.

"Instead of repeating the winning formula of "Yoshiesque," Deep Dish return with a solid Volume 2 that differs in mood and flavor. The tempo is a bit faster, and we get more trance than house this time around. Disc One didn't appeal to me at first, but it succeeds by the excellent mixing and melange of diverse grooves featuring the mid-tempo beats of Chemical Brothers to other upbeat, energetic house grooves with a dash of techno. Give it a couple of listens, and it will grow on you. Disc Two (which, like Disc 1, is 78 minutes) is more my flavor, with more traditional house numbers and less trance. Standouts include the opener "Finally" by Kings of Tomorrow and Morel's "Funny Car." Sequels may have a reputation of disappointing, but Volume 2 is a smart step forward for the remixing duo of Dubfire and Sharam. In my school of music, this CD gets a B."
