I'm more of a fan of the beach house and stereo sushi series that hed kandi puts out, and numero 6, "sake," has shown me why. Beautiful, sexy, edgy house. It's like having little happy bubbles blowing through your place, only not in a scary way. My favorites are:
1) Joey Negro's "Sugar," which, once you let yourself get past the 'this is too 70's' notion, would make yo grandma get up and shake her cane (no offense).
2) Miguel & Jay J's "Friend of the Blues." Lemme say a big fat "thank you" for digging up a fresh migs mix! I'm sure this one will be making its way onto many more mixes in the next year.
3) Mood II Swing's "Can't Get Away." Sexy sexy sexy, and more sexy.

Buy it, love it, and play it over and over again.

Hed Kandi's sister label has released a surprisingly consistent entry, filled with delicious house tunes bearing a soulful and jazzy edge. I say "surprisingly" because I didn't think Mark Doyle could come up with a compilation that could rival his own "Disco Kandi" series. As it turns out, I was wrong. Disc 1 is total bliss with treasures like Late Night Alumni's "Seemingly Sleepy," Mood II Swing's seductive "Can't Get Away," and Kathy Brown's disco thumper "Never Again." The second disc has rewind-worthy highlights like Simon Grey's "Prophecy," Rasmus Faber's classy "United/Divided," and Dina Vass' "Now I'm Free" which stand out particularly well. Groove Junkies' "Didn't I Bring You Love" is the sole clunker, thanks to its Jerry Springer lyrics. Other than that, most house listeners will find little to find fault with "Stereo Sushi - Sake." Like the drink after which it's named, it's intoxicating.

Came across this album quite by accident in Sydney last year. Heard it playin across the store & i immediately made a beeline to buy one! Since then I have bought the other Stereo Sushi series and this is definitely the best! Get it by all means! Enjoy it over yr iPod or even while driving or chillin' out.

Intoxicating it is! The artistes are the cream of the crop and certainly churn one of the best fare for soulful hse music!

ENJOY! You won't get sick of listening to this gem!

I've got nothing but love for this album. Like one reviewer said it's a good soundtrack for daily living!

Recently purchased this and am listening to it in my car. Not to mention at home in the kitchen with the under the counter mounted cd player. Smooth grooves and I'm really digging, Sugar and Didn't I bring you love.. I know a guy like that.

Pure House exoticness. Most of the songs would sound perfect in an acquatic/tropical enviroment and porcilon white tiles on the walls.

As always Stereo sushi is The best Deep House, delisious style and beatiful and harmony voices ,
8 star for this one********

Although I don't quite think this is the absolute best of the Stereo Sushi series, it is definately in the top. I really find it a shame that this series isn't more popular.. I would compare it closest to the popular Hotel Costes series, however it is superior to that, and any other lounge collections out there.

I think the biggest problem might be 1: the name. Stereo Sushi doesn't really tell us much.. and #2: the cover art. I actually love the cover art, but I think someone who doesn't know the series might suspect it could contain a soundtrack to japanese cartoons. The truth is, however, this compilation has some of the worlds best lounge grooves and elegant vocals known to man.

The first CD opens up with the best song from either disk. Seemingly Sleepy by Late Night Alumni, the beats are almost tranquil, and yet groovy at the same time. The second song. Can't Get Away (Blaze Remix) - Mood II Swing is also one of the best songs. Those two are fabulous starters, but the rest are really just as good.

I would highly recommend this 2-disk compilation if you like to listen to music while doing the dishes, folding clothes, or just a constant soundtrack for everyday living. Have you ever noticed how much fun chores can be if there's good funky music playing? Well this is the perfect music for keeping things perky yet smooth and loungey.

What a great label. I love hed kandi and this is just another reason to love them more. If you like house music with some nice female vocal tracks, then you must own these cds.
