Editorial Reviews

Nude Dimensions is a Naked Music series devoted to the deepest, sexiest tracks to be found in the racks, we've enlisted the showmanship of one of San Francisco's best-kept dj secrets, Mauricio Aviles. Mauricio has been paving the way for deep house in San Francisco for the past 10 years and is probably one of the most recognizable heads in the SF scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Musical equivalent of a 2 hour orgasm, December 8, 2000

This review is from: Nude Dimensions 2, Mixed by Mauricio Aviles (Audio CD)

The tracks being released on the Naked Music Label are an excellent example of the new direction house is taking, and the second volume of their phenomenal Nude Dimensions compilations gives you the cream of the crop. Nude Dimensions volume two is the kind of CD that makes you want to run up to complete strangers and implore them to buy this disc. It's sixty-eight minutes of the kind of pure, all consuming pleasure that you'd think impossible to achieve standing up. Every single track is worth the price of admission, but as usual there are definitely some standouts. There's "Pure" by Blue Six, the same outfit that dropped the delicious "Sweeter Love" just a year ago. It's a sumptuous blend of great lyrics, awesome vocals and a beautiful arrangement. "Always" by Lisa Shaw (definitely a star on the rise) is a groovy, melancholic gem that nuzzles up to you like a lover on a cold winter's night. Solar House's "Got 2 B U" has the kind of infectious four four rhythm that makes it impossible to sit still. Other noteworthy are "Sincere" by MJ Cole, "Superficial" by Bougie Soliterre and "I Need You In My Life" by Undercover Agency. But if you're still not convinced, Aquanote's "True Love" is probably the only reason anyone would need to get this CD. It's sweet, sexy and soulful; a track that seems to embody the very elements that define the Naked Music philosophy. House is the only genre of music that seems to be continuously evolving, fearlessly adopting new rhythms and embracing new ideas, and the folks at Naked Music are at the helm. So do yourself a favor and pick up this CD. Stick it in at your next party and mesmerize your friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Deep Soul House, October 2, 2000

By 

"superflydanceboy" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nude Dimensions 2, Mixed by Mauricio Aviles (Audio CD)

This is the 2nd in a series of deep soul house. The label, Naked Music, is definitely one to keep your eye one, or better yet - your ear on. They've picked up some amazing talent and are working a unique sound - deep funky House with a San Francisco twist.

Very smooth, very easy to listen to with a bit of a down-tempo. Not enough to put you asleep, but not thumping pounding "get up and dance" House either. It's perfect to pre-funk for a night on the town or to chill out afterhours when you finally stagger home. Some tracks get a bit too vocal for my taste, but there's not a single track I skip. Rich bass lines, melodic chimes and seamless transitions blend into an enchantment of sounds you're sure to enjoy.

All around, I have to say this is one of the sexiest House compilations I've heard. The track selections and general flow of the CD is more mature than Nude Dimensions I, which is also a great deep soul House compilation, but not quite as rich as this latest.

Nude Dimensions 2 has found a spot on my "Top 10 House CD's to Own" list. I highly recommend it as a Must Have to any serious House Head.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, August 8, 2002

This review is from: Nude Dimensions, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Originally, I heard a few of these tracks on the internet, and I knew I had to own it. Mauricio Avila is a relatively unkonown San Fransisco dj and on this Dimensions installment he puts himself out there and shows just what a dj should be. Avila is like a fantastic lover, he's never too gentle and he's never too hard, he puts you right where you need to be.
The second track of Blue 6's Pure gets a fantastic remixing by the brilliant Miguel Migs. The entire cd is wrought with deep grooves and [hot] basslines. Avila mixes records effortlessly, like two ships passing in the night. The dub version of Undercover Agency's I Need You in my Life gets the []vibe underway and its nothing but continual []shakin' from there on. Track 8 is Sirus's Big Ben, the epitome of deep house. And by far the best track is undoubtedly track 12. Cooly's Hot Box track Could You Love Me? is nothin short of brilliant.
This installment of Nude Dimensions is without a doubt one of those rare albums that one does not need to skip over tracks. It's a brilliant mix of music and it fits into any situation. I have played it in my car, at work, and at home when friends come round for drinks. This album should be part of any self-respecting house music lovers collection. Its a definitive classic.
