"One of the preeminent house DJ/producers around Los Angeles since the late '80s, Richard "Humpty" Vission became known for a freewheeling mixing style that cycled through dozens of records per hour, and a production career that saw the same frenzied sound crest with his sports-anthem classic "Jump," by the Movement."

"RICHARD HUMPTY VISSION, known for his progressive mix style packs 34 innovative house tracks into 60 minutes of listening with this latest compilation album, DAMN THAT DJ MADE MY DAY. The album which I believe, represents VISSION's most dynamic work to date.For DAMN THAT DJ MADE MY DAY-his eighth album, second for Tommy Boy-VISSION enlists special guests DJ Swamp, the 1996 U.S. DMC turntable champion who has recorded with Beck, Morcheeba, and The Crystal Method, as well as Chicago house chanteuse and turntablist DJ Mea.For the raver kids and hard house fanatics, the hands will probably raise highest for the Ferry Corsten/DJ Tiesto track "Gouryella (Transa Remix)." Deep house heads will probably want to skip to the end of the CD, where the BPMs drop down, and the mixes get longer with tracks such as "Finally" by Kings of Tomorrow featuring Julie McKnight. Filtered disco heads will jump to moments such as Static Revenger's "Happy People" and Conga Squad's "I Lost It." Somehow or other, Vission -- aided at points by DJ Swamp and Chicago house diva DJ Mea -- manages to unite it all with a flawless mixing technique and firm grasp of dancefloor dynamics. The multi-dimensional RICHARD HUMPTY VISSION has emerged as an innovator of house music and has revolutionized the industry with his eccentric style of mix, and this CD Truely Deserves 5 Stars!"

"I was pretty excited to see RHV having a new CD out. Although his last CD "Shut the f**k up and Dance" was "mixed" together with neck-breaking speed, it still managed to get me pretty pumped up. His new effort is good, however it doesn't have the energy that his last CDs have had. It tries, but I think the music selection is lacking in most aspects. This isn't to say I didn't enjoy it, because I did. However I was looking for something with a little more kick. I am also disappointed to see him depart from the hard crunching Chicago style of house and trade it in for more of a trance flavor. Maybe next time. :) DamnDJ"
