If you're a fan of the Plumpsters, you will not be disappointed by this artist/mix album (75% of the tracks are by the Plump DJ's, yet it's mixed). They fill in gaps between their own songs, with matching high energy vibes, and punishing breaks.

The entire album is filled with electro and acid house, never getting too progressive or dark. It's funky house, injected with the tings and energy these guys are known for. There really are only two weak tracks out of 17, and no bad ones at all. My two least favorite were Dr. Dub (rather simple and really doesn't go anywhere) and Smartbomb (borders on cheese). The companion to the recently released single Dr. Dub is called Blackjack, which is sadly not on here, but I found to be more enjoyable than it's EP headliner.

As for killer tracks, my favorite is the echoing beats of Redshift, followed by Hell Up in Harlem, and Acid Hustle. The best non-Plump track is easily their remix of the Freestylers Push Up, which is right near the culmination of the meat and potatoes of the mix, tracks 7-15.

Bullet Train is already a smash, and as far as Get Kinky, I love the beat and fast pace, but I'm not completely sold on the recycled Missy Elliot lyrics.

Overall, one to listen to straight through without any trouble at all. A clear winner for these Dj's of electro breaks.

Had to admit it.the opening to this album was kinda weak...its cliche mix album stuff..things do get moving and grooving after track 3 "Dr Dub" ..had to admit i was bopping and grooving to gems such as "smartbomb", "smells like naples" "soul vibrates" to name a few...The plump djs did a good job with the freestylers "push up"..make it sound more fist thumping..

Plump Djs are legends in the making...or are they already...?

Do they ever miss? If you like their other stuff you'll like this.

If you mix it all up, Saturday Night Lotion is a success.

It's not a perfect album for sure, but I like it. There are a few outstanding tracks, my favourite being the intro and track 10. Existing fans of the famous Plump sound will love this album as it remains tricky and happy as ever, with fun buzzes and bleeps in all the right places- if you're looking for dark sounds, look elsewhere!

Beatwise, it's closer to Y4k by Hyper, or Y4k by Phil K than DJ Ils or Way Out West. Fans of fast-paced, very complex, or aggressive breaks won't find much joy in this album; but if you're looking for good vibes and rhythms on a long drive, count on the Plump DJs keep you company.
