It's nice to hear a good "drum" mix since the trend in eletronica has been toward the more tech/minimal house these days. Disc 1 (Chus & Ceballos) starts off with a good intro to the set with a track titled Dibiza. The mix continues followed by an impressive track #4 (Flash). More drums here and there, here and there...then a surprising vocal thrown in for good measure titled "My World". Worth noting is the great build-ups throughout the CD. This further establishes this mix at the top of my rotation. I can never get enough of some great techy, dramatic build-ups (see "Keep It Going" for an illustration) Great track selection on disc #1.
The Sharam Jey disc is what I was truly after. Sharam Jey has been making a strong name for himself by producing and mixing some of the most played club tracks recently. He is known for low laying bass with some nasty beats. Some of this set however, is shadowed by some minimal type beats with a slower beat per minute. Standout tracks include "Living It Up," "Do For Love," and "Neo Dancer."

Surprisingly for me, the Chus & Ceballos disc turns out to be the better of the two. However, I would highly recommend the purchase both both well rounded discs.

This CD is dark and sexy. I love the funky tribal beats, so this was right up my alley... scrumptious. Good compilations like this are hard to find!
