Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

Weekend Records was founded by the multi-talented David Ferrero. David is an accomplished DJ and Producer as well as remixer for the likes of Santana, J.Lo and Ricky Martin. For this mix, he takes us through the vast Weekend Records catalog with a selection of tracks that are truly evocative of balmy, Mediterranean nights.

Beatfreak Recordings is one of THE most respected labels in the world. Founded in the 90s by D-Formation (aka Dimas) the label has already released over 75 singles in a very short space of time and has spawned several sub-labels such as Intenso and TUSOM. For this mix D-Formation mixes up a heady cocktail of BeatFreak’s past, present and future.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Dissappointed!, January 10, 2006

This review is from: Afterdark: Madrid (Audio CD)

I have to say that this series def runied the AfterDark armada. You listen to Madrid, and you will be in a world of absolute pain! Disc1 started out a little loungey than picked up with some jazz flavored house and then a flare of chicago style house; although Weekend Recordings style was a bit of a wildride. Disc 2; forget it! i turned it off after track 1, very techy proggy tribal house which does not even belong in the AfterDark series!

Don't let the 30 second audio samples fool you. They seem to emphasize only the percussion, and completely miss the unique and flavorful jazz/world elements of the Madrid collection.

I was pleasantly surprised with Disc 1. The mix is very eclectic, with a range of influences from chill/lounge to euro-house to tribal/worldbeat. Expect to hear a few accents of flamenco guitar and loud trumpets, as well as upbeat flutes, jazzy piano, and both crooning and hip-hop sounding vocals.

Disc 2, as mentioned by other reviews, was an immense disappointment for me personally. The overall style does not follow Afterdark's successful formula, but enters the realm of pure electronica. (In my own view, it certainly does not seem representative of Madrid. But then again, I've never been there.) If you're a fan of electronic/progessive music, I'd consider it a bonus. But even if you're looking for another taste of Afterdark, Madrid is still worth adding to your collection, if even as a 1-CD set.

This review is from: Afterdark: Madrid (Audio CD)

i was in best buy and grabbed a handful of cd's. i am usually picky about wasting money but felt like i wanted some fresh stuff.

ananda and in my dreams are fantastic! as molly shannon from SNL would say, "i love it, i love it, i love it!"

the rest of the tracks are of no interest to me.
